Ooooh girls I am in LUST

I don't know why it took so long for me to get here. You'd think that the internet would have brought me here sooner. Internet, you failed me. And then redeemed yourself.





So, since my last ring post I have done nothing but Google different combinations of words and waffle myself crazy. I knew that getting something as finely detailed as I wanted would cost beaucoup bucks and we are just not ready for that right now. But I just couldn't let myself - the antithesis of normal - to get a regular old every day wedding ring. I like things that are classic, yes, but I also am unique and special (the good special, not the special you call your idiot friends in middle school) and if I'm going to wear this ring for the rest of my life (which I will, dammit) I want it to at least reflect a little of me.





Slogging through the internet brought me to the same places over and over again and I was just unsatisfied and sometimes fed-up. I gave up ten times over, closing the google search window and moving onto to other causes I could make a decision on. I stressed about size... my engagement ring is very delicate (about 1.5 mm measured with two pennies borrowed from a coworker) and I didn't want anything that would change that. I like the delicateness on my long, skinny fingers.





And then, one day BF said to me (over an instant message at work) something about ordering his ring. I told him I just need the size and I can order it. And he told me to pick something out for myself and we would order that. For some reason, this renewed my searching engine and I headed over to Google.





I think I searched something along the lines of "Antique Look Ring" and probably something about Art Nouveau or Art Deco knowing me... I just can't escape that.





And somehow, there she was. Just... sitting there in the Google shopping listing as if she'd been there all along.

ZOMG!!

She read my mind. 2.4 millimeters of scrolly, shiny goodness and... in our price range?!? Could it be? Is it she? (Yes, that is a Beauty and the Beast reference. Deal with it.)

I am going to show my mother tonight. But I have brought the website up a good four times today just to drool. I really think she could be The One.

So you see, if you hold out long enough, the right one may just be one Google search away.

And, just because I thought this would be amusing. I just sent BF a message with a link to the ring (2nd time today I've sent that link) and this is about how the conversation went:

me: ssssssssooooo I'm pretty much lusting after it now (link)

him: it better not suck. (he is who he is, I cannot change him) I likes it.

me: you likes it? for cereal? (and I am who I am, we're meant for each other)

him: yesh, it's very similar to my ring.

GREAT SUCCESS (Borat gives his blessing as well). With the approval of the boytoy, I am even more confident that I have made a good choice and that we are quickly on our way to having our little symbols on our little digits. *clicks heels in joy*

Funny how the littlest things (little round chunks of metal, checking items of our mile-long to do list, referencing Borat) make us just so very happy.

I have just one thing to say: WOOT.
