I was catching up with the latest Facebook nonsense this morning when I ran across a profile picture of a recently engaged acquaintance. She looked fantastic in the pic, yet one of her “friends” (read: gold digger) felt the need to comment, “nice pic. Switch it out for one that more prominently showcases THE RING.”
Hmm… maybe it’s just me… but… does this remind you a little bit of:
One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them.
Creepy McCreeperson. Why the female obsession with THE RING, anyhow? I mean, I love my engagement ring and all, but last I checked, it hasn’t done anything but sit and look pretty on my finger.
Hmm… Maybe I just haven’t given THE RING enough credit. Let’s experiment…
I took THE RING out to the kitchen and placed it on the stove. I then asked it to make me a cup of tea. I even went so far as to get the freaking tea bag out of the cabinet- I’m that nice of a person. No dice. And no tea.
I then asked THE RING to pay my Macy’s bill. Ten minutes later, nothing.
As my final test, I have asked THE RING to finish this blog entry.

I just asked my ring to pay my taxes for me. nada.
Love the ring- so you. I remember you looked at Kathryn’s ring and practically salivated when you saw how simple and awesome it was.
I love the LOTR connection. And I totally get you. My best friend was like “ya, thanks, ya, I’ll marry you” and then she ran off to get the ring appraised!
ooh, nice! how big? tho i don’t think size is so important – u want it to glitter, so that’s cut. i like them to look clear too. but ya you’re right its just a ring its about the committment. well its sort of about the ring
Maybe Chris can give me a few tips on diamond shopping. Someday.
Oh yes! Another way to procrastinate by reading about other people….and at least one person I know too. Thanks for directing me to the blog. Nice ring!
Great idea! Sean and I drove cross country and back after MIT. We never stayed in a hotel; it was split 50-50 camping and friends or even family of friends, easily. I can also answer a few of those questions (moving, calling the other fat, etc.). Say hi when you’re in Philly.
It’s only a diamond!! Isn’t it enough that it sits there on your finger and blinds the passerby? Or that it ups your curb appeal? Or that it makes your girlfriends green with envy?
I just left the link love. It is official that I am a fan of your marriage road trip.

I think you were being a little impatient with the ring. You only gave it ten minutes to pay your Macy’s bill? Everyone knows paying bills isn’t the most exciting thing to do – even an engagement ring. Although the ring didn’t wholly finish your blog entry it did inspire you to write one. I’m leaving a comment too, so the ring should get some credit for that as well.
Stupid ring! It’s supposed to do those things. Maybe we can get a puppy that vacuums instead.
Still waiting? hehehehe… you might have to make the tea yourself.
