Take that you crazy psychotic 'Diamonds is what you really want, lalalalala!' pushy lady! I got the ring of MY DREAMS!
---
Christmas came and hubby surprised me with a lovely emerald ring from Zales. Because the car was out of comission, I was working overtime and just scraping by, my ring was left, abandoned, in my jewelery box because it was just too freakin' small.
Last week, I finally had some free time. The hubs and I decided to head over to the mall (the bane of my existence) because we were just sick and tired of being holed up at home. On the way out to the car, hubs spins around, goes back to the house and leaves me baffled. (Mind you, I had forgotten about the ring because I hadn't been using it... though I wanted to and tried once, but my finger just swelled up and turned purple. :( )
We're walking around, he pulls me into Zales, I'm a bit baffled. Husband produces the ring, tells the associate we need it resized. Lady goes into 'omg, its beautiful!' mode. Asks me if I've worn it? I say yes, but its just a touch too small-- I can get it on, but taking it off is antoher issue. She says she understands and places the ring next to my hand. She then goes on to say how I have THE perfect complexion to wear emeralds. --FYI, hubby had the good thought to pruchase the lifetime warranty at time of purchase so resizing and cleaning is at zero cost. --
It made me blush. I'm not used to such complements. xD
Anyway, I JUST got my ring back yesterday. I tried it on to see if it fit (now its just a tinsy bit big as apperantly my finger was still swollen when we got it sized. ) Sales lady starts gushing. She flags over another lady and they just go on and on how some people just have the *right hands* to wear such rings. They go on, again, about my complexion. A lady came over, saw the ring, realized its my engagement ring and just went on to gush.
'Oh, that's such a wonderful idea! My son's girlfriend would LOVE to have that ring in sapphire. She's just unique like that and says diamonds are over rated.'

I have no clue how we got out of the store, but I'll tell you this:
I just can't stop glancing down at my hand. Its so pretty and it means so much to me. Now I can finally show it off to my Mom and sisters.
