I spoke with Mr. Incredible about the ring on Friday. He agreed that we should return the flawed setting and pick out a new one. So we met at the jewelers when I got out of work Friday and can you believe I didn’t find one ring that I loved! They sent me home with a website to check out and I still couldn’t find anything that I just had to have!
After days of making myself physically ill over the whole thing, I finally made a decision. I decided I couldn’t make a decision! So we are going to have the two bands soldered together and will order a separate wedding band later. I figured that would make the Mr. happy and it would solve the design problems I had with the ring. Even though he wanted me to pick something I would like, I knew he was upset that I didn’t like what he picked out. So I compromised but he still doesn’t think I will be happy and that in turn will make him unhappy. There doesn’t seem to be a good solution at this point except time to get over the whole debacle and move on.
Now to change subjects…I hate this time of year! I bitch about this every year and I am never prepared for the amount of crap that will be going on for the next three weekends. Here’s a rundown…
May 21-Dance rehearsal
May 22-Dance Recital, Mr. Incredible’s Birthday
May 23-Mom’s Birthday
May 28-My Brother’s Birthday and we are staying overnight at our friends camp in Ohio.
May 29-Going to Mr. Incredible’s Aunt’s camp
May 30-Plant my garden, maybe go back to friend’s camp in Ohio
May 31-Cookout at my house to get our families together
June 4-Sidekick’s Sleepover and Bowling
June 5-Cake and Ice Cream for Sidekick’s Birthday
Whew! I’m stressing out already and trying to figure out how much money I need to hit the lottery for. Someone hold me.



It sounds like you made quite the compromise on the ring! I am beyond impressed.
Now, as for that schedule? Um, I’m not jealous. Not one tiny bit!!
