post breakfast

Okay, so I'm not done eating yet, but I've had enough where some will
sit there for the next hour going, "Eeeeeeeeeeeat me?" before I get
back to it.

I'm... HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, granted, that's not
unusual these days, but I've got... ENNNNNNNNNNNNNNERGYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Long story short, I feel silly today and I wanted to post again even
though I've nothing in particular to say. However, I CAN say that
our wedding rings are on their way. They should be here Monday.
YeOWsers that's salty bacon. Heart attack central! Anywho, see, we
wanted a certain kind of ring, not just any old ring. We saw this
designed called Infinity and both of us fell in love with it. I
know, I know, the ring is merely a symbol of our everlasting love,
right? But, if we're gonna bother wearing any symbols at all, they
may as well be to our liking!

WELL. Therein was a problem. Infinity, no matter where we found it,
was 6mm in width or above band-wise. I've got these itsy bitsy
little fingers and I figured 4mm would be a-plenty. But no one would
tell me, "Okay, that's not a problem. We can do that." Instead, we
kept getting, "Nope, computers don't know how to do that. Titanium
is too hard to work with." Waah. And then. Just as we were giving
up hope. Just as we were thinking of having it done in Silver
instead. I saw. A site... THE site of all sites!

tirings.com was that site. I emailed them saying, "Is it true? You
can really make it 4mm??" Yep, was their response, but not in the
purple I asked about. I was like, "BS!!" So I found out that the
real artisan behind that particular ring was Bruce Boone at
boonerings.com. I emailed him. "Can you can you can you??" "Yep."
w00t!! So we ordered the next night. This guy is amazing. Dale
thinks he's retired and sitting around bored or something, because
the guy answers email in like half an hour or less. Seriously. Dale
and I have both had this experience at least once already. And, get
this! The rings shipped out the day after we ordered them!

Dale stuck with the typical 6mm (chicken!) and I of course stuck to
my guns with the 4mm. Bruce did warn me 4mm would be making it a bit
tight, but the flat profile I requested might help it a bit. I
sooooooo can't wait to see these things in person. But I won't look
forward to Monday too much because, well, it's the weekend. Why make
our weekend any shorter than it is by asking for Monday to come
quicker?? 'esides, this is the new DST weekend. Which means our
weekend is ALREADY cut an hour short. Hmph!

So, looking forward to Monday, but enjoying today. :)

Okay, back to the salty bacon.
