I didn’t go to the gym at lunch today cuz we had a mandatory 1pm meeting at work. Instead, I met up with Mr. W and we went to the post office to drop off my engagement ring. It’s on its way back to Miami, Florida (where it was born) to be resized by the original ring designer. With gold values on the rise, I’m kinda bummed I’m losing two full sizes on the ring, but I can’t keep wearing it with moleskin adhered to the inside forever. How cheesy. We insured it at the post office for $16,000 and Mr. W very nervously filled out all the mailing/tracking/insurance forms and off it went. “Say bye-bye,” he told me as he raised the overly-wrapped package to my eye level before it left.
“Bye-bye for now,” I said to the wad.
I received my invitations yesterday. They’re so unexpectedly beautiful I had to hold back tears. Well, not really. But they are REALLY nice.
wow – $16000 to insure? good move, since I’m sure the loss would be so much more (not necessarily in monetary amounts either)
Hope it gets there and back safely!!! How long did they say it would be?
Hey.. I thought *I* was supposed to babysit your ring in Miami and personally bring it back to you?!?!
So guess who I’m going to meet in May if she ever tells me the exact date she’s going to be in this neck’ish of the woods…
I would have had to personally fly the ring down I think.
K – it’s not “$16,000 to insure,” we insured FOR $16K. The information we got was that it’d take 6-8 weeks to resize, not sure how long that’d be total until we get the ring back.
Jordan – we couldn’t reach a live person there to ascertain whether there’s a storefront a person could walk the ring into. If it’s just a warehouse/ring design studio, you’d have to mail it, too, which is kinda lame.
She STILL hasn’t told you WHEN she’s going to be in Clearwater???
Bat – that would be nice, except then we’d have to wait till the weekend of the wedding for Jordan to bring the engagement ring back.
Wait a minute… did I miss something here. Are you saying Mr. W. dropped $16K for your ring?? WOW!!! *fainted on floor*
