Vent....Christmas related, one of my cousins....

So, my cousin (who was my mother's flower girl) lives out of state, think 90210, and she and her hubby are VERY well off. They couldn't make it to our wedding and they didn't send a gift (whole other story) so I am just seeing her now. She said, 'Oh, let me see your rings!' And then she goes like this: 'Aw, cute.'


CUTE? Okay. Here's the deal. Her DH just got her a new bridal set. She has a flawless princess cut three stone. The center is 3 carats, the sides are each one, and she has a 2 carat total weight princess cut eternity band. Can we say bling???? Even DH, who isn't into staring/checking out rings could not help himself.

My rings aren't like that, but come on...'aw, cute'! My ering is 1.5, my wedding band is 1.3 total (1/2 eternity.) I was insulted, and so was DH. Should I be?

Ruuuuuuuddddddee!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is very rude of her

Ignore her, she's a beyotch!

But did you say blue, as in blue diamond?

She has close to a million on her finger...

No need to edit, I'm just obsessed with blue diamonds!

She sounds annoying...nothing is 'cute', not even a .10 pointer...especially if it's a WEDDING SET!

I'm getting over it..thanks love!

How was yours?

It was really nice...what happened? FM????

I hate her!
How do ppl become soooo rude?
I would of been soooo shocked,hurt & thrown off guard for about 2.5 seconds...but...she'd definetly get a bitchy remark back from me
' yeah,my rings are really small & tiny but its only temporary, I'm waiting for a few more wedding gifts to arrive,you know,the ones that could not attend but will send a check...one in particular should be prettttty heffffty- since I hear these ppl are loaded..at least thats what THEY portray...anyway,once we count that all up- my DH said I could go for that 5 carat bling-blang! Oh & for effect..throw her a
Beotch!

That is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!

Lana, this woman obviously has no tact or taste. My MIL jumped on my poor DH for getting me a .5 carat engagement ring (WHICH I LOVE), and when I defended him, she said 'Someday, Rachel, you're going to grow up and realize it's time to stop playing dress-up.'

I wish I were kidding.

Your cousin is a snob, and thank goodness for distance!

ROSE ROSE ROSE...that is too much!!!!!! Too much!!!!!!!


This is the same cousin who also got a call while she was at my parents' house from her 'inside' gardener....the person who waters the plants IN her home. But where was that wedding gift??? Rrrrriiight.....

Her 'inside' gardener called? What, was the rhododendrum a little dry???? The spider fern a little too droopy? What's so important that you call on Christmas?????

pffft. Even if she had given you a gift I'd still be pissed.

HOLY S*IT I meant Rose....sorry, I was thinking of LIW Princess Rachel! Bad LANA!

---

That's hilarious for so many reasons.

1. My name *is* Rachel.
2. The reason I'm PrincessRose and not PrncessRachel is because she was here first and I didn't want to cause confusion, so I used the name I used on my college's radio station.
3. There are many many worse people to be confused with in this than the lovely PrncessRachel.

LOL LOL LOL!!!!

Maybe *that* is why I wrote Rachel? Sublimal thinking??? Okay, then....Rachel! Gotcha now! Too funny, man. I need a glass of wine.

yuck! i detest people like that.

The only way I deal with them is to think 'shes insecure about so many things and all the money in the world has STILL not made her secure and happy so she needs to demean others in order to feel superior and less pathetic about herself.'

Shes the type you have to feel sorry for at the end of the day. You are so much richer than her in things that matter much more than diamonds.

Indoor gardener? Excuuuuuse me!

Yeah my DH has one of those..
<-------------------- ME.
Along with a personal shopper(I usually buy his clothes) chef, housekeeper,nanny(we have an 8 yr old son) and interior designer.

I'm fortunate enough to have a portfolio manager/accountant, gardener,handyman &
<-------------------- Massage Therapist

Oh please,Screw her & her 'interior waterboy'
Don't let her get to you. 9 out of 10 times the ppl with mondo money have only money & nothing else.

Rach- Your MIL sure has a way with words... dress-up?

INTERIOR WATERBOY???

I like you. You're funny.

You'd better believe she's got a way with words. This woman was going to buy a dress for the wedding that cost more than mine, yet contributed VERY minimally, citing tight finances. Then when this was brought to her attention, she said 'Well dear, you had to do yours on a budget and I only get a dress like this every 10 years or so.'

Oh, and since our wedding, they've been on 4 vacations and bought a BMW convertible. Yeah, money's real tight over there. You can tell.
