Saturday the Mister and I were at Target to get some "stuff" for our trip. We were walking through the jewelry when I remembered I had to show him these "eternity" bands so he would realize how much I NEED 3 diamond bands to go with my wedding ring. If you know me, you know I happen to believe you can't have a diamond too big or have too many stacks of diamond encrusted rings round your finger! I slipped my wedding ring off and slipped on the following 3 rings then put my wedding ring back on top to show him how AWESOME it looked... and it DID!
BUT...
My wedding ring was stuck SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tight to my finger I couldn't get it to budge! My snobby ring was probably mad it had to sit on a stack of cubic zirconia rings. Of course having the "freak-out-gene" I freaked out! I'm tugging like crazy on my ring and my knuckle is getting bigger and redder by the second. The Mister says QUIT tugging on that, so I licked my finger and tugged again... dang, he was right- it didn't help!
I had to walk around Target with these rings on and my hand held palm up so it looked like I was carrying something because of course, the rings were on this giant cardboard thingy. You know they have cameras all over that store so I was trying to keep my paranoia in check.
A big glob of lotion finally took the rings off but my finger, in retaliation, stayed red for a long, long time!
I believe this proves that the Mister should buy me diamond bands so I don't have to worry about taking my ring off to prove their awesomeness ever again!
Can I get an Amen?

Amen, sister. I insisted when we got married that I wanted a very plain, thin white gold band so that when we had kids I could wear that with no fear of losing a stone or having any problems whatsoever. Well, a few years into this deal I decided that I needed more bling and that since my engagement ring had diamonds all the way around it, then my band should do. On our 5th anniversary, he told me he was taking me somewhere to get my gift and instead pulled into our jewelry store and said to go in and tell them what I wanted. Yay! I am not a diamond girl, but I have always been fascinated with all wedding rings: big, small, antique, contemporary, ugly, weird. You name it, I want to stare at it. Your ring is pretty darn big though, so you have some years of penance to do before convincing him that you need more bling. Unless you are just THAT good...
And Bliss is a great friend of mine who is a nut! Her Hubby was the bearded dude, Jeff, in our wedding party. She is also Chatty Friend on my blog and has a son who is right between my son's ages.
Amen...TWICE.
This would happen to NO ONE but you and me...go figure!

So I don't know how I ended up on this post, other than I saw diamonds and immediately clicked to read about them. Next time this happens, relax your finger and spray some windex on your finger and rings. It will allow the rings to move without getting everything all greasy like lotion does. I sold jewelry for 8 years and used this trick almost daily for my customers! Hope that by now he has bought you at least one more ring to stack with your engagement ring!
