so it’s late at night
…and as usual I find myself unable to sleep without having spoken to Quinn so now I’m pretty much just waiting for him to get home. The weekends was pretty good. There were a few rough spots which is normal at this point for us. The problem really is that we end up cooped in the same room the whole time he’s visiting because leaving my room means subjecting ourselves to my insane family. I hate doing it on a normal day, when Quinn is here, it’s pretty much a no-go. So now I’m just sort of wasting time. It helps that I ended up taking a bit of a nap earlier today unexpectedly.
Oh, and my car? Turned out to be the tire rods and brakes and a whole bunch of shit got replaced. Totaled around $1200 and guess what! The check engine light came BACK on today! WTF?!?! So now I get to take my car back on Wednesday. Not tomorrow because I have to work and I’d rather not have to get a ride or something so I’ll do it either after I get off tomorrow or Wednesday morning. Ugh. I just knew something like that would happen. Story of my fahking life!! *sigh*
I told Quinn about my engagement dream too. He laughed and joked that obviously I have engagements on my mind. Understandable I think considering how everyone around me seems to be getting married. Several of my sisters got married recently. My roomie got married in June (some readers may remember that). Several others of my sisters are engaged and planning their weddings. And of course one of the girls at BBY got married about 2 weeks ago. And one of my coworkers at CVS is a photographer on the side and she is always talking about going to people’s weddings and taking pictures. I’m surrounded by nuptial bliss no matter where I go.
But as for the dream, I will admit, I do look at engagement rings, never seriously though and I usually stay away from the big ostentatious rings (like the one from my dream) because they aren’t my style. I usually do the ones with other stones like rubies or sapphires or things like that and not necessarily diamonds and I haven’t gone into a store to look at engagement rings in YEARS, not since I think I was walking around the mall with Kay at her school 3 years ago because she’s the only one I’ve ever really shopped with for engagement jewelry because like me she just kind of likes sparkly things anyways but we also tend to steer clear of diamonds as a rule. I walked past Helzberg today with Quinn and just to goof around I took a quick glance around their engagement ring selection. The ring from my dream was sitting there. I freaked out and ran from that store like I’d seen Satan himself. How did I have a dream about a ring I’ve never seen??? And I mean I saw that ring and my whole freaking body reacted to it like a jolt of electricity. I didn’t even bother to find out anything about it and I’m scared to. But to give you an idea I browsed the Helzberg website looking for it. Unfortunately in pictures the ring isn’t as familiar so I don’t think I picked the right one out to show you. This is the one that seems to zing with me the most from online. If this is the one I saw, it’s hugely expensive and I don’t WANT it!!! It 1/2ct TW and freaking $1500!!!!! OMG, if I got this, ever, from ANYONE I think I’d drop dead on the floor right then and there.
If I were to get a diamond ring, I’d like something more like this. It’s 3/8ct TW and it’s only $750 but it’s also kind of cool looking in design and not just about the size of the diamond or the amount of diamonds. But really I don’t want a diamond ring like everyone else. I want something that’s more personal and more thoughtful, like this ring or this one. But oh well. I’m going to go and do something more productive maybe. Night!
