. . . my fingers have swelled up to the size of sausages. A few weeks ago I noticed that I could NOT get my wedding rings off. Now if you’re a girl, I’m sure you’ve experienced the panic that sets in when you realize that you can’t get a ring off of your finger. Think middle school, you’re at Nordstrom with some friends and you decide to try onthe costume jewelry rings. You realize one is stuck and WHAM! you’re sweating, your heart is racing because clearly YOU WILL DIE if you don’t get this ring off your finger immediately! Okay now imagine feeling that way every single day about a ring that represents your marriage. Not good.
So, while I was seeing the doctor yesterday, I had him cut my rings off. I had tried every other trick I could find on the internets, but nothing would work. It had to be done.
To put a fun little twist on this debacle, I decided to assemble a collection of replacement rings that I will rotate daily. To start my collection, I have acquired this bedazzlement:

I call her Madame Isabella Prescott. And yes, I plan on naming all of my rings.

| Posted 2 years, 10 months agoWell I just saw you a couple days ago and I think you look Wonderful! And you’re still all happy and stuff! Great news!!! Keep it up, your blog is awesome!
| Posted 2 years, 10 months agoYou describe the ring shopping panick with such perfection. We have all been there. If I make you a ring, will you call it the Siri Elizabeth Preston? I promise it will be lovely.
| Posted 2 years, 10 months agowhy did I spell panic like that? Who am I? Edmund Specer?
| Posted 2 years, 10 months agoI am sad your pretty rings got cut off! But I love the new rock.
| Posted 2 years, 10 months agoLOL!! I love your new ring! Look forward to seeing the next and what name you’ll come up with. I find it funny that you can name your rings so quickly but have so much trouble picking baby names! LOL!!
P.S. Whatever you do, don’t ever name your baby Maynard! LOL
| Posted 2 years, 10 months agoAre you kidding? Maynard is at least in the top five for boys (top 8 for girls).
| Posted 2 years, 10 months ago1) Congrats that your baby is not fake, phew!
| Posted 2 years, 10 months ago2) I’m sad that you had to cut off your wedding rings, but your new rotation of rings sounds so fancy! I’ve never told anyone this but I have a “QVC” style fake canary diamond ring that I named “Dutchess Von Jenny-from-the-Block”- because you know…”don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got….”
3) love the blog, keep ‘em coming!
