Ringless

[vovat]

Well, I lost my wedding ring. It was a little loose on my finger anyway, and it must have come off at some point while I was working at Walmart. I'm afraid it ended up in someone's bag, and I'll probably never see it again. If I'd had it engraved, then that might have made it easier to find. Am I the first person to ever do this? People losing their wedding rings isn't something you hear about, but it must have happened at some point, right? I guess I'll want to replace it at some point, but I don't have the money now. It really makes me sad, and my finger feels naked without it. I can't help but think I'm one of the most careless people around. Anyway, if anyone reading this has come across a golden wedding band within the last day, let me know.

Honestly, I feel like I'm kidding myself when I say I'll do things when I get the money. I don't feel I'll ever be making enough money to keep my head above water with someone else's help, and even on the off chance that I do, there's just too much I have to spend money on. Speaking of spending money, I really should find a way to get a picture of bethje and myself into the locket I gave her for Christmas. I'm terrible at planning these things out. I guess that's one reason why we never had our wedding rings engraved, either. Not that it matters at this point, at least for me, I suppose.

Last night, I finally got around to watching the cartoon lineup from Sunday night. The Simpsons episode was pretty good. We've seen Marge trying to have a social life before, but this one had an interesting new take on it. I also liked how the back story was revealed a little bit at a time, and they really captured the awkwardness of Homer being forced to hang out with Marge's friends' husbands. Bob's Burgers was all right, but didn't really grab me. I'll probably give it another shot or two before giving up on it, though. And the Family Guy episode really took a turn for the tragic, didn't it? I mean, it was obvious they weren't going to kill off either Brian or Peter, but they waited until the last minute before revealing the twist. I'm kind of glad they acknowledged at the end that transplanting dog kidneys into a human is ridiculous. Then again, it really seems to vary whether Brian is more human or canine. I mean, if he can talk and walk upright, it isn't that far-fetched that his kidneys could work for a person, right?

That sucks!! I'm always worried about that happening to me - my ring is very loose during winter because my fingers change size really drastically with temperature changes. Maybe some nice person got it in their bag and will bring it back to the store.

That's what I'm hoping, but I'm not counting on it.

My fingers seem to change size pretty frequently, too. I'm not sure why.

I know it's normal for your fingers to swell in the summer time/heat (water retention or something) but mine seem exceptionally annoying (sometimes I'll have to really tug to get the ring off, sometimes it will practically fall off when I'm just standing around). It's super loose right now, but if I'd gotten a ring any smaller than the one I did I would have to surgically remove it in the summer. :P

Aw man! That sucks. I hope it finds its way back to you! :(

Yeah, I know. Thanks, but I'm not holding out much hope.

Surprisingly, someone actually returned it to Walmart today, so it worked out all right. Even if it hadn't, though, there are much worthier causes to which you can give money. {g}

Oh no! Well, I suppose now is your chance to get a funkier replacement ring.

I have it back now, but I have been thinking of doing the marriage ceremony over again. Not now, though.

Already seen your latest post saying You and the Ring All Lived Happily Ever After (Gollum?), BUT I just wanted to say you are totally NOT the only person that has happened to, because I swear to you someone else on my friends list posted that she lost her wedding rings (and subsequently found them a few days later) exactly a WEEK ago. I'd link to prove it except it's Friends-locked. But totally. One week.

Thanks. It's always nice to know you're not the most careless person in the world.
