Just Like A Girl’s Best Friend to Leave Her at the Mall

At some point during our mall visit,

The diamond FELL OUT of the ring.

DAILY SNACK

I almost forgot to mention,

How we all took a quick jaunt to the Dufferin Mall the other day,

Because my husband had nothing to wear.

(It doesn’t always feel like I’m married to a 15 year old girl.)

And I was browsing through the clearance rack at H&M,

When my engagement ring snagged a sweater.

The reason for this is that,

At some point during our mall visit,

The diamond FELL OUT of the ring.

I am now left with a white gold band with a raised setting for a small diamond.

And that there can be pretty scratchy.

It just goes to show you,

That NO GOOD can come out of a trip to the Dufferin Mall.

No how, no way, not ever.

Think about it.

And, uh, happy New Year.

Whatever. Stupidest holiday of all time.

Until the invention of Family Day. I almost forgot.

Oh no! Sorry about the ring! One day we’ll have to tell you our ring story. But basically my hubby had it swept off his finger by the ocean less than 24 hrs after we got married.
I hate malls too! The last two times I ventured to the mall there were bomb threats and the skytrain was closed and it took 2.5 hrs to get home with my baby in tow. I’ve sworn I’d never return but where else can you buy knickers?

Oh no! At least my ring lasted nine years. (And I happen to know it didn’t cost a fortune either.)

And sorry for the anti-New Years sentiment, everyone. Have fun.

Eventually we’ll replace the stone. Not at the top of my priority list right now, though.
