Re: August 1 randoms
We had a party for her on Saturday that was super fun, and I'm hoping to go out for ice cream or something tonight when I get home from work. She will like that.
Take her to Red Robin for dinner, you will get a free ice cream sundae and they will sing to her.
We did that for Amelia and she got a big grin on her face. She thought it was very cool that people were singing to her.
Happy Birthday Violet.
Yeah... she doesn't sound like the best person to be doling out advice. Hope you're having lots of fun anyway, though!
We are having fun. Eating lots of good food, swimming, taking walks... I read an entire book yesterday. Ha!
Wow, Violet is a year already!! Happy Birthday to that little cutie!
I got an estimate to fix my wedding ring set. $600!!!! WTF! I know there old but Holy Moly. I'm missing 1 prong and the other 3 are worn. The lady at Helzburg told me my bands are different sizes and looked at me like it's my fault. Jeepers lady the set is from the 1940's. So yeah they want $600 to restore them to "like new" status.
Other random: I got a card for my BFF who leaves to day. I wrote a litter to go inside of it thanking her for her friendship and had to walk away 3 times b/c I started to cry.
Take it to a non-chain jeweler, to someone who is a jewelry maker, not just some guy who repairs and sizes all day. Russel & Ballard is a good one IMO. When I took my first e-ring there to get a second opinion on something the guy was knowledgable and honest with me. I never ended up getting work done because the original jeweler let me replace the ring with something else, but if I were looking to get something repaired I would totally take my stuff there to get quoted.
I have too much on my mind today.
