In which you’d never believe I could be quite this enamoured with something that you’d normally think is not my style, but I love it so, so very much!

Over a year ago, Baby Girl turned me on to bidz.com. Last week, I freaked out and bought a couple of rings from them… no reason whatsoever, total impulse buy.

When I got home last night, there was a package on the stairs. I carried it up to my room and ripped into it with glee.

Behold my new ring! It’s a 29.5 carat CZ set in sterling silver! It’s big, it’s gaudy, it’s tacky, it’s VERY sparkly, and I adore it. It makes rainbows in the sunshine, even! (The other ring paled in comparison, so I gave it to my awesome co-worker and she liked it enough to give it a home.)

If for some reason you can’t actually see my new GINORMOUS RING over the Internet, you may view a close-up of it here. That picture is totally LIFE-SIZED.

In other news, I got my teeth cleaned this morning. I love clean teeth!
