Curses!

My plans to get up and go shopping in the morning are once again foiled, this time by the fact that my mom needs her van tomorrow, which will leave me stranded. I'm considering getting Matt to let me drive him to work and pick him up so that I can have the car all day. Otherwise I'll have to do my shopping tonight, while I'm tired and rushing to finish before the stores close. No fun, and it sounds like I might have to work late tonight anyway. There are five seven(!) eight (!!) outgoing production jobs that have to be FedExed out tonight. None of them are mine, but I promised CAG that I wouldn't leave her to do them all by herself. Hello, overtime! Goodnight, quality time with Matt. At least if I go with shopping plan B I can make it up on the car ride in the morning.

By the by, I've been looking at vintage wedding rings on eBay, and I think I've found my true love. I also found a few runners up in case we lose that auction. But we've got a date tomorrow afternoon to make a bid for it. *fingers crossed* Matt's a little apprehensive about getting my ring off of eBay, and he feels like it takes all the romance out of it, but I say piffle. It's a gorgeous ring, and it's totally me, and there'll be plenty of romance when he puts it on my finger.

And now I have to go pick up sandwiches for a conference room full of people. Ciao!

I *love* that first one. But then I'm partial to white gold as that is what mine is. ;)

Have a great weekend dearie, no matter what you do!

I know. Isn't it pretty? I hopehopehope we get it. Right now it doesn't look like there's any competition, but you never know who'll sweep in at the last minute.

The rings are all lovely! Working late sucks (oh, does it ever!) but the overtime is good.

Love your "true love" ring. I don't see any reason why buying from ebay is less romantic than buying from a shopping mall. White gold is my favorite (well, platinum, but I don't have the big bucks).

White gold/platinum are my favorites, too. I've never been too fond of yellow gold.
