little bitty girl

I've decided to create a whole new category because sometimes (a lot of times) when boys do or say something, I really feel like they are complete aliens. Either that or some parts of their brains just aren't wired the proper way. Here is a recent example -

Me: OHMYGAWD!!! I lost a diamond in my ring...
Stef: Don't be ridiculous. Are you sure?
Me: Of course I am sure. There is a HOLE in my ring.
Stef: Let me see. Looks. I don't see anything.
Me: Right there. A BIG HOLE.

After a while.

Stef: Oh yeah..... How could you tell? It's so shiny. Do we have to replace it? Maybe no one will notice.

Turns to look at me.

Big puppy eyes look at him with tears welling up.

BIG SIGH

Stef: Go get it replaced and tell him to put it on my credit card.

I really can't believe he didn't notice right away. Every girlfriend I showed the ring to noticed immediately and all the boys had the same duh! reaction as Stef.

So, now Blinger (if you don't remember, that's the name our friends gave my ring) is at the hospital after suffering some blunt force trauma. Not really sure when I am getting it back. It's funny how you don't realize how used you are to things until they are no longer there.

My finger feels naked and I keep thinking that I've inadvertently left it somewhere. Or when other women see me walking with Stef, they think that I am some big floozy ho messing with
a married man. Because that's what I think when I see other ringless women with ring wearing men.
