“Good news! It came in a little under what I’d estimated.”
It didn’t seem at all appropriate to hug the woman at the jewelry counter, but even still, I was tempted to see if I could get away with it. C’mere you! Saturday afternoon marked the very first time something wedding related has come in under budget. Those words are so yummy – under budget. Next to, “I thought you were 27*” they might just be my recent favorites.
So, now the Boy has a wedding band – and it’s really pretty perfect. Since he created it from a little of this and a little of that, we never actually saw what it was going to look like. It’s nice. Really nice. And it has some fairly nice heft to it. So, you know, the next time he’s out of line and needs some… gentle reminding, I’m gonna chuck that thing at his forehead. Thunk! The love thunk. In stores now.
Speaking of what’s in store: For those of you who don’t have a) Facebook b) Twitter or c) patience enough to hit reload like eighteen times to make the comments work here, This Fish Needs a Bicycle will be relaunching at thisfish.com in January, followed shortly (I hope!) with an iPhone app and some other cool stuff.
* Someone actually said that to me the other weekend and I was pleased. Until he followed them up with “You look like Barbara Streisand. A younger, better looking Barbara Streisand.” Uh huh. Just what every girl wants to hear. Let’s go back to the part where you told me I don’t look my age. That was good stuff.
