Treasure 4…my pile of bling
Posted under Material things I love, People I love, Ten Treasures
Only a worry if the hypothetical fire happens at night, as I only take the pile of bling off at night..I just can’t sleep in jewellery. Full make up, skanky bitch style? Fine, no problem. But not my jewels.
So my engagement ring (the sapphire), wedding ring and the Ring of Shame or ‘Medley of Misery’ as I like to call it (the diamond one; it looks pink in the picture..it’s not: I’m not J Lo, I don’t dig pink diamonds). What’s a girl to do with a drawer full of ‘old’ engagement rings? Sell them? Cry in to your gin about them? Or break ‘em up and make one big gigantic sparkler?
I wear The Ring of Shame as a constant reminder to MrSpud that he owes me TWO pushing presents for delivering him TWO delightful children. He actually guffawed the last time I reminded him and said pushing presents are a ridiculous notion, like a ‘reward’. HELLO! Yes, that’s the whole point MrSpud: I grew and delivered two human beings therefore you should buy and deliver two big fat diamonds. That’s The Law.
My engagement ring was sapphire. I lost that bad boy! Ache.
“Full make up, skanky bitch style?” I seriously love that sentence.
: )
That’s some serious bling – exactly how many times have you been engaged?!
ha ha ha – “pushing presents”, brilliant :) I have only one pushing present (diamond ring)…despite my reminder to husband that I have done the pushing thing twice and it was no easier the second time around. But I am very grateful for that, seeing as I have only been engaged once.
Whoa! Look at your bling! And I completely agree with your new legislation.
Here I am…. back … for now…. love this treasure thing… might have to jump on that bandwagon!! iffen it’s awright wiv you missy?
I too have two engagement rings, the first being a sapphire also… they were very common in the early nineties when us Brits were running around getting engaged to any Tom, Dick or Harry who would ask. I still wear mine.. hubby don’t care!!!
I wondered if sapphires were a Brit thing! Beautiful rings! I am definitely passing this post on to husband. He hasn’t heard about the new legislation and our girl is 19 now. There’s not an expiration period is there? I lost my diamond out of my engagement ring this winter. Went through a period of mourning and now am kind of enjoying the freedom of not having a ring on! I think it’s all the gardening and home renovation I’ve been doing. Nice not having to worry! Oh heavens! Who am I kidding. I miss it and St. Antony hasn’t come through in returning it yet! Sob!
If men could push out a baby, the law would be that you get a car, a year off to recover, and a housekeeper!
Lovely glittery things you have, Skanky Bitch! :)
I have the same question: How many times have you been engaged?? Me? twice, but the first didn’t count cuz it was to my loser starter husband. The second time was to my wonderful real husband. Although I didn’t push out babies that were his, I still did push 2 out and therefore I feel I need pushing presents too. And a new car. Just because. I’ll make it Sapphire blue…
i would personally hold out for the D700 instead of diamonds…
and i also have a ring of shame (from the first broken engagement), but sold the starter-husband ring (gaudy as hell–he was a doctor) on an online auction a couple years ago and made quite a tidy profit. :-)
however, current husband not a diamond guy, tho’ he’s had a couple of great silver rings (more me anyway) made for me.
are you sure you don’t have a macro lens?
With you on the pushing present – although hubbie did not too badly at the time. He arrived at the hospital the next morning with a gigantic bar of Dairy Milk! Full marks for feeding my trashy chocolate addiction. Diamonds would have been a good addition though. Gave up hinting about an eternity ring a couple of months ago and bought myself a nice sparkler – because I’m worth it dahling. Hell, if you can’t learn to appreciate yourself, no-one else will.
i need more bling…suppose i need a new husband then!
Oooh nice bling! Hey, I have a saphire ring as my engagement ring too. Never wear it though. My fingers have gotten fat! grrr
[...] special day I finally dragged MrSpud up the aisle and enslaved him to me every bit as much as my pile of bling. For, although I dig and poke fun at MrSpud and make him the butt of all my jokes, I completely [...]
Oh, joy! Now that I know The Law, I have all the ammunition I need. Poor Mr. Lawson. He’s gonna have to get a second job to cover the pushing present ring I’m gonna ask for.
