To those helping me out, and to Paul. I have to start getting ready to present at my conference, so I can't finish anything more this week. I get back Monday though and my slate will be clear. For everyone else, sorry for all my boring posts about this stuff. I promise in the future, I'll blog about my dog instead.
Sorry for the delay. I wanted to get more done this week.

Engagement RingsCategory: life
(E:James) and I went to go pick up the rings we had made (tomorrow is our Anniversary) but the jeweler had made them out of yellow gold instead of white.
I almost didn't notice they were wrong ... the rings turned out really well, just ultra plain bands. I thought maybe they were just colored by the lighting in the store. Offhandedly at the end, I asked,"Isn't this a bit yellow for white gold?". So, no rings. It'll be on my finger for the next million years, so what if it's a day or two late? I'm trying to be philosophical about it.

yeah, happy anniversary! And I'd say it's worth waiting to get the rings the way you want them. Like you said, what's a few days compared to the years and years you'd be wearing the wrong one... The jeweler actually put the wrong diamond in my mom's ring, and she thought about not complaining, but in the end was glad she got the right one.

Thanks!
Actually it's my anniversary tomorrow, so I might be running a couple days behind.

don't know how much time I'll have, but I am a massive grammar nazi, so proofreading is one thing I'm usually pretty good at. So go ahead and send me the file/link/whatever, and I'll do what I can. (just don't be too mad if I run out time and don't get much done!)

Global Warming is ExcellentCategory: life
If this is what we get, I think we should all go out and rip the mufflers off our cars. And burn down all the trees in our yards.
60 degrees on January 13th!
