I have a cousin who was buying herself baby rings--one coloured diamond for each of her four kids. I mean, for herself, for each of the four kids. She was spending $60-$90k on each one, and took them off to do the dishes. Her kids regularly borrowed them.
Just not my life.
Where do I get lunch from today? Chipotle? Maybe healthy?

Funny, I've heard Kevin on TC referred to as Yukon Cornelius AND as Heat Miser. Makes me wonder if they just gave the Yukon doll a make-over.
I wear my grandmother's engagement ring. I love it all the more for the fact that it came from my mom.

WHUT? I hope you mock her as much as you mock poor unsuspecting people wearing reindeer socks.
I have a plain yellow gold band, which we got the day we decided to elope. That was good enough for me, and then DH (some of you may recall) gave me a ring like this for Christmas last year [link]
It's white gold and doesn't match the band, but he's colorblind and didn't know, so I wear them together in all their mismatched glory. I don'tlove diamonds, but when I look at the ring I see him all eager and excited about getting me fancy jewelry and that makes me love the ring.

Aw, Scrappy, that's awesome!
I don't remember how much my engagement ring cost. It's sterling silver, and the star ruby is in a setting of sculpted bones, ivy leaves, and a skull.

I can't think of any piece of jewelry I'd spend that much money on. Not unless it came with guaranteed magic powers.
She spent three times as much one one finger as I did on my car. There were eyerolls and words of incomprehension. Nothing that small and inanimate is that pretty.
Chipotle line is
long.
Not unless it came with guaranteed magic powers.
Yup. And even then only if one of the powers was "turn junk mail into gold."
