But I wanted something to wear all the time -- sleeping, hanging out at home, etc., especially since Beau asked me for a similar "all the time" ring for him to wear. What a difficult choice to make for myself. How can one commit to just one ring? One person? Yes. One ring? Argh!<br /><br />Between the price of gold these days and my income being halved by disability, my jewelry purchases are on hold too.Charlotte Issyvoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081140798331499819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371230315197236857.post-57397092511349865482013-08-20T09:13:57.258-07:002013-08-20T09:13:57.258-07:00I had a dress some time ago, a bit differently cut...I had a dress some time ago, a bit differently cut but of the same fabric! And I never noticed the O. Duh. O or no, you look glam and comfortably cool in it. <br />Interesting about engagement rings ... mine was my garnet birthstone, and it's worn almost through so I never wear it. Will someday get it fixed. But now, I wear the best, most glam rings I have with my wedding ring as "place holders". I have learned to enjoy the variety, and it's a great excuse to buy better rings when possible!<br />(Currently waiting for the price of gold to drop. A lot. Will be a while before a new purchase, I fear.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630135395645059302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371230315197236857.post-47009368781553363372013-08-19T22:52:46.687-07:002013-08-19T22:52:46.687-07:00I was an editor at my college paper too, as well a...I was an editor at my college paper too, as well as at the local gay newspaper of its day! I know the inverted pyramid style but I write totally differently for my blog. Different styles for different venues, eh?<br /><br />And, yeah, Beau is f*cking smart. He founded a charity school in a faraway land, runs his own business in educational charts, and is finishing a degree in the psychology of religion.

Between the two of you, maybe I'll learn to agree.<br /><br />As for the "heteronormative," that's one of those academic words that people bandy about. Don't forget that, in my other life, I'm an academic. You should see my "scholarly" writing, if you think "heteronormative" is bad.<br /><br />Yeah, I'm a girlie girl in appearance, and mannerisms, but not in attitude.
