Challenge #1: THE MONSTROSITY THAT IS MY HAND.
LOOK AT THAT! This is the right hand (or the wrong one depending on how you choose to read the first half of this sentence), but I can assure you that the left hand is equally indistinguishable as THE LARGEST FEMALE SPECIMEN OF HAND in this hemisphere. These man hands are going to require some major rockage. Right?!?!
Challenge #2: Every accessory I have ever had in my whole life is either broken, down a drain, lost, or (and this is the most likely scenario) hanging around one of my sisters right now. Try as I may, I have, until now, felt doomed to walk the earth until my dying day unadorned. I'm one of those girls at the party who YOU tell in a whisper, "Oh. Uh, honey, you lost an earring." So, I'm caught, staring blankly into space, grasping at the air that used to be one of my brand new danglies.
Fear not. Someone else was WAY AHEAD OF ME. Wedding ring TATTOOS!! Can't loose that!
I can just see my mom now. Smiling, nodding, THAT'S INTERESTING AMY... Deep breath, mom, even the celebs are doing it! Check out my main man Tony Parker:
For practical purposes (no bling allowed in NBA games) when he married Eva Longoria, he tattooed the sacred date in roman numerals on his wedding finger for all playas in the land to see. Alright, Tony, you can wipe that smug grin off your face. I can palm a basketball too...Seriously though. I know the ring is THE socially acceptable symbol, but Billy gave me this instead of an engagement ring and it feels perfect:
It's an infinity loop. Billy knows as well as I do that it could've been a shrunken head on a stick and I would still be wearing it. Well, guess what? It's been a whole 11 days and... Still there! Once it's done holding the place (for whatever it precedes) I will have to find somewhere infinitely special to put it (Challenge #3).

Ring schming...where did that custom come from anyway? First of all I have to tell you that I LOVE THAT PICTURE of the two of you ! I also like the idea of the matching ring tatoos. Very cool. The gold infinity loop is really beautiful.
Amy, the ring doesn't mean a thing unless you have his heart and I'd say you definitely do!
Besides, it gives you something to look forward to on your 25th wedding anniversary!!!
Love,Marilyn
Ah, yes, the 25th wedding anniversary. Our tattoos will be all saggy, but at least they won't be washed down the drain...
:)
Amy, you crack me up.
As a fellow member of the "I swear I started the night with four earrings" tribe, I think the tattoo deal may have a few things to recommend it:
1. You can't lose it, and it won't snag on things.
2. It gives you a great excuse to buy a beautiful, ginormous ring to cover it up once you get old and wrinkly.
3. Assuming you ever have kids - you can use it as cred with the spawn ("Yes, mom and dad really were cool and wacky people at one point in time. We stayed that way until you became a teenager.")
Of course, getting a tat on your ring finger would HURT. And, more importantly, if you scratch the tattoo up, you can't just buff out the scar. Hmn.
Now, the shrunken head on a stick thing ........
LOL Kate. How about just scarrings?We could have a ritual ring carving night where we toast to eachother with goblets of blood! Then the kids couldn't say shit. We'd be cool for life...
I said "cool and wacky", not "warped and disturbed". But hey, whatever float your boat. Just remember that Angelina and Billy Bob are no longer a couple....
awkward. (nervous laughter)
haha... missed you last night at the alum game!
Very Very tasteful, Billy! NICE! Tattoos? New to me... but what the heck! Every generation comes up with new inventions like sex and wedding ring tattoos!
Shrunken head on a stick - oh please - at least with a ring at the top so it can be worn as a tastefully ethnic pendant.
Or if they are pinheads - two - so you can have matching earrings?
