Snow Luck
For my one year anniversary with Dear Boyfriend, I had a friend in craft school make two matching silver rings for us. It's the only piece of jewelry I wear consistently. However, they have never fit either Dear Boyfriend or I quite right. Mine is too loose when my hand is cold, and a little too tight when my hand is warm. As a result, especially now that it's winter and I'm transitioning between too cold and too warm as I go outside and back in, I've had a couple close calls with the ring. The first one was a few weeks ago, when I spent the night at a friend's house. The ring slipped off my finger in the night. Thankfully, it came back to me a few days later, after my friend found it in the sheets and blankets I'd used that night.
But then I had an even worse mishap occur last night. One of my roommates and I were enjoying the snow, and in our wintery glee I didn't notice that my ring slipped off as I was scooping up snowballs. We looked all around where we'd been frolicking, but with all the snow kicked up we couldn't find it. When I woke up this morning and saw all the snow had melted, I tried looking again. I had just given up when I turned and saw the ring balanced, as if carefully hung, on the tip of a thick grass blade. Needless to say, I'm not having anymore close calls after a string this close together, and seeming to escalate in the miracle factor of finding the damn thing again. My roommate gave me a silver chain to wear the ring on so it can't run off as easily, which I hope will keep it safe for years to come, maybe even until I get to upgrade.
