Things that make you go hmmm.....?

So Thursday I took my wedding ring in to Helzberg to be inspected and cleaned. While in the little cleaner machine thingy... one of my itty bitty diamonds that covere one of the bands fell out! The little guy just happened to get it stuck to his finger while emptying the tray out to look for it! WHAT LUCK!

Since the Lubbock store does not have a way to repair anything locally, they must send things off to one of the DFW locations. So, I do not have my ring for about a week...

What surprised me is how much more confident my wedding ring makes me. Not confident, like... I'm hot stuff man, I'm MARRIED - hehe... but confident like, I can go to the store in my sweats and crocs and not think twice about it. Weird, I know. But since I haven't had it, all of the sudden, I'm like "I cant go to fill Sally up in what I'm wearing?!"

So what is it about that little band of gold that affects me in such a way? Its not like I am trying to land someone whilst out shopping, just because I have no ring on my finger... its not like I'm searching for the hot little college boys. So what is it? I'm sure there's some weird, psychological thing about it... or maybe I am just crazy. A ring doesn't make you married. So all you psychology people, tell me what you think. Has this happened to you?

HALLOWEEN!!!

Halloween is less than 2 weeks away! I can't wait to see all the cute kiddies in their costumes!! My nephew, Wyatt, is going to be a a dragon and Brantley is going to be Woody, from Toy Story... CANT WAIT TO SEE PICS!!!!!!

Happy early Halloween everyone!!

Humdrum...

I haven't posted in a very long time because, quite frankly, I have nothing to say. I have been having non-creative bouts of insomnia, but am trying to ween myself off of the use of sleeping pills. Its hard... very very hard, but I hope it will prove to be worth it in the end.

Work is okay I suppose... its work. I got half of the raise I asked for. I know in this economy, that's a tough thing to do... but I did feel a bit slighted, I have to admit, because I am doing SO much work, and they only felt it was worth half? *sigh* oh well, I am truly blessed in my life, so I'm trying not to "sweat the small stuff".

Our Red Raiders aren't doing so hot lately, but I am hoping that will turn around...

And I have some super awesome news I want to share when I get the green light :)

For now... off to try and sleep for a few hours. I have been up all night, kind of sick to my stomach, but can't NOT go in to work, because no one else knows how to do to GE. Fun times, fun times...
