HIS Ring

He Said:
Sunday the 23rd was my day to pick out a ring. I found just the one I wanted. I had an idea of what I wanted and it was confirmed as soon as I saw it. Allyson and I went to like 3 different shops and I was convinced that I was going to find the ring I liked at the mall then, go home and buy it on line. Well after a bit of back and forth between titanium and tungsten carbide I found that the titanium was best for me, hard, light and very strong. Not as hard as the tungsten carbide but much stronger than gold. Tungsten carbide is ridiculously hard. The lady at one place took out a par of scissors and proceeded to beat the hell out of this poor ring then she wiped it off and showed us... no scratches... that’s great but what abut the scissors? They were all dinged up. That is just a bit too hard in fact it’s so hard its brittle, plus if you drop it on a hard surface it could shatter... yeah its that hard. After a bit of shopping I found out that I was 3 different sizes at 3 different stores this does not help when I am buying it online. This was going to be tougher than I thought. Then we went into the last jewelry store of the evening. There it was my ring! it was comparable to the prices on line and I got to try it on! We just had to get it... it felt right. The stars aligned once again and we had another item check off the list!

Now I feel bad for calling Joe, Mr. Picky McPickerson in the earlier post. He was so easy to ring shop with, it's was ridiculous. He knew what he wanted, picked it out, we found a great bargain for it too. Simple, simple, simple. So I do plublically apologize to Joe about calling him picky. Maybe it's just something that happens to him regarding kitchenware? It doesn't matter, the purchase of his ring has got me all giddy again and ready to face the rest of registering.

Joe, only you would be concerned about the scissors. :)
