"wow that's a big rock"

[athene]

Yesterday while I was filling out forms to work at UMass, another woman who was waiting for her appointment looked at me and said "wow, that's a really big rock" I just started grinning and had to show it off :)

Then ran into kjpepper at Stop&Shop :) Must see more of her.

Came home and I meant to do a whole bunch of stuff, but ended up falling asleep for 2.5 hours.

Rented Muppets From Space to watch last night. Was not as good as I hoped it would be, but it did have its moments. At least dinner came out really well. Thanks to the Fab 5 for teaching me how to properly snap asparagus :) And Aerith did a fantastic job with the steak. It came out just right.

I actually had a dream about my ring last night. Aerith and I were in New Orleans and we were moving into an apartment (in Metire??). I know my grandpa was moving in there too, and my parents were also, i think. well, at least they were both around. Aerith and I went uptown to a random coffee house and we ran into 2 of my old teachers (Ray and Janet) from NOCCA and Anthony Mackie with some NOCCA students. I was trying to show off my ring to Janet and she said something about it being very dull and so we went out into the sunlight so I could show her how sparkely it was, but it was dirty. Then I was back at the apartment and I was trying to clean it, but it was covered with toothpaste and it just got more smudged. I think that it got somewhat cleaner b/c I remember trying to go back to NOCCA to show it off again, but i don't remember much else, except that my grandpa needed attention at some point.

If you have any "oil free acne wash" or anything like that, its great for cleaning rings...most of what makes them dirty is the oils from your hands, so the gentle face soaps that remove oil clean them up super sparkly. Plus, most chain-like jewlery stores will shine your ring up while you wait for free. Just a tid-bit for future reference since I'm sure its not dirty yet!

I had a similar "must clean the ring" dream shortly after getting mine, except I think when I was cleaning it one of the diamonds fell out. It was awful

As the resident Psych freak, my sub-professional opinion is that your dream signifies that you are one F*CKED up chick.

Either that, or getting engaged is one of those life-changing events that makes you dream strange things. Either way.

You could always take it to any Kay's jewelers and they'll do a pro cleaning for free, even if the ring wasn't bought there.
