Yeah, I was crawling around on the ground rubbing my hands back and forth through the clover, sobbing, dripping snot etc. A guy and his daughter who were practicing their putting stopped and helped us too. I felt like such a douche after. The sense of relief mingled with shame made me cry even more.
I'm just glad it turned up!! Seriously I'm an enormous jewelry hoar. I once lost a little Black Hills Gold ring I wore on my pinky finger when I was in high school and I was upset about it for a long time - mostly because I felt it fly off my finger in the fucking hallway and I NEVER found it! Lol. Losing an old ring, omg. I think the panic might kill me. I know in the big scheme of things it seems kinda dumb to get so emotional over possessions but I do consider old jewelry like that to be very special.
I had a meeting yesterday with a few folks I've never met, so I introduced myself and carried on with the meeting. Two of the guys were supposed to send me some data yesterday afternoon, and I've been getting a little pissy that I still haven't received it. They just had to walk three buildings over, to my building, to find me because they couldn't find my name in the GAL. Apparently I introduced myself as Dara maiden name. Now I kind of feel like an ass, and it's always fun trying to explain why I don't know my own name. I can't even use the "oops, I'm a newlywed" line anymore...it's been long enough that I just look like an idiot.

Exactly! I thought of myself as the guardian of this ring and felt that I was betraying a trust that my grandmother had put in me. Icky feeling.
Ok, enough icky feeling. We're headed up to the mountains tomorrow to visit my parents for an early birthday/Father's Day celebration. We're going to go to the casinos and hopefully win a million billion so I don't have to work on Monday. Then, we come home Sat and H is brewing beer with a work buddy. I hope his son calls on Sunday.

I sent my dad chocolate covered strawberries for Father's Day and they will be delivered tomorrow. I sent my mom flowers for Mother's Day. I never see either of them on those days, oh well, lol.
I was with my in-laws on Mother's Day and my MIL was like "Are you sad you're with us instead of your mom?" I was like, meh. My mom and I are not BFF like some daughters and their mothers. I love her, but she's kind of cray and she makes it kinda hard to get close to her. Whatever though. I would LOVE to see my dad on Father's Day. My dad is pretty much the SHlT.
...I know I'm talking about my family a lot again, lol but one of my aunts has lost two enormously expensive rings. She's currently on her third wedding ring upgrade but she lost her first upgrade. It was a 2.5 carat solitaire in platinum. She also had about a 3 carat, very deep blue tanzanite ring she wore on her right hand. She took them off to wash her hands in a restaurant bathroom and forgot them in there. Half an hour later, they were LONG gone. Dumbass.

Okay running out on a story. You guys should make some crazy ass threads while I'm gone.
A few years ago I was taking evening classes at Juilliard, and I was using a practice room one day and left my great-great-aunt's diamond ring (which my aunt had given to me for college graduation) on the piano. I ran back to the practice room as soon as I realized but of course it was gone. I was heartbroken. I put up some flyers offering a reward for its return, thinking it was gone forever. The girl who had picked it up actually contacted me! And refused the reward money I offered. That sure restored my faith in humanity.
All this talk about missing rings makes me nervous. My e-ring is simple, three amethysts and white topaz, but I would be heartbroken if I lost it. My wedding band belonged to my great-grandmother. My aunt wore it as well, until she was widowed. I would completely freak out if I lost it.
There's nothing interesting going on here today. I need to head downtown to buy art supplies for my class, and then go to class. I should probably do the reading and the homework as well, but that can be easily done on the train. She simplified the assignments since it's a four week summer class, so that's fabulous. I do need to find a kid to do a bunch of art with though. Good thing my friend has a 4 year old.
Thanks for the advice Star! I should start taking it everyday and see if it helps some.
I'm sending my dad a card for Father's Day. I feel bad about it because I saw my mom on Mother's Day, but this coming weekend is jammed packed with things to do. Horrible daughter, I know. I promised him I'd take him for ice cream next time I see him. That's something we always used to do.
This is why H has a cheap ring. He's already lost one, and we have a backup for when he loses the current one. With his work, we're expecting to go through rings pretty quickly.
Mehg, that happened to me once but it was in my coffee. I was up in the mountains at BF's parents house, sitting on the deck smoking and took my first sip of coffee and felt something against my lip. A wolf spider was still alive in there! Needless to say the mug was broken, I almost threw up and I didn't really need any coffee to wake up after that.
Dmill, your company is pretty freakin awesome. Mine will throw a kegger in the courtyard twice a year or so (personal time if you go) which I think is great but yours has gone way beyond that.
Bk, I would have flipped too. So glad you found the ring.
My family is doing a joint Father's Day/oldest nieces birthday thing this weekend. Still waiting to hear when though since niece didn't get her work schedule until last night. As long as pool time is involved, I'm happy. Oh, but I was certain Father's Day was this past Sunday so I told H he'd better call his dad early before the course opened. They are both convinced I did that on purpose as a joke but they give me way too much credit.

Morning!
I've had this happen too! Ick!! I always check now.
Fathers day will probably include watching golf & drinking tequila. Good times
Girlie, sometimes I like to pretend that the big crater thing in your sig is a dinosaur footprint. And your feet are next to it to show how huge it is. You're welcome for that useless bit of information.
We're grilling out for Father's Day and I'm paying for my dad to get his concealed weapons license. He's been meaning to get it for the past year or so, but hasn't gotten the chance.
I think H is coming down with something. He slept for 24 straight hours yesterday/today. He says that he thinks his sunburn is making him feel sick from when we went canoeing a few days ago, but the rest of us feel like we've caught a bug as well.
I'm just catching up- NEBB! are you here still? if so, tell Adam to throw your package in the freezer Or open it and throw some of it in the freezer (he'll know which stuff I'm talking about. ha)

You're not a horrible daughter. To see my dad would require a day trip of driving for 3 hours. My dad gave me a guilt trip that we're not coming home this weekend. Even though I'll be home next Thursday and offered to do a belated Father's day BBQ for him then. Apparently that's not good enough. *sigh* It's not like I have other things going on the weekend before my wedding <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" />
jcb- I hadn't heard that about the fire yet. My mom sent me a picture this morning, there's a small fire about a mile from the town they live near. They live 3 miles north of town, and I don't know what side of town the fire is on. It looks small so far, hope they get it before it goes nuts. The problem with the High Park fire is that there are a lot of beetle kill trees there so the fire fighters are having a real biiiitch of a time trying to get it under control. I think we might get some rain today in that area, and believe you me, pretty much everyone has our fingers crossed for that.
