So, I threw away my wedding ring!

So, I threw away my wedding ring! Category: Blogging
And no, it wasn't on purpose. I still love, love, love my wedding rings, even after 8 1/2 years. So, I haven't done much around my house lately because I have been gone so much and also engrossed in the Twilight books. Now that I'm done reading and we are hosting the Monday night poker games at my house I decided to get busy and get some things done. I usually walk in the door, take my rings and watch off and put them in my amoire. Well, today I went straight to the laundry room to switch the laundry and just continued roaming around the house taking care of business. After attempting to make the bed and washing my dusting rag out a few times I hurriedly took my rings and watch off and put them behind my laptop on my desk. Once I was done and ready to take a break I sat down and decided to sort through some mail. While in the process of throwing all kinds of crap away I accidentally kicked my desk and my watch went flying across the floor. I decided I needed to put them up but when I went to get my wedding ring it was gone. I panicked and Jason and I hit the floor looking everywhere for it. I swept under the couch and chair and found nothing. We pulled the couch and chair out and still nothing. I started to hyperventilate and was on the verge of tears all until I looked at the trash bag that was sitting right by my computer table. I think my exact words were "There is no way it could have gone in there!". You see, this was the bathroom trash bag that I was adding junk mail to and there was some nasty crap in there with a couple of fermenting Cherry Lime cups. I desperately kept trying to find it anywhere on the floor but it just wasn't there. When I had no other options left but the trash bag or the insane asylum, I finally pulled on my rubber gloves and went dumpster diving, or in my case, trash bag diving. The whole living room reeked with a foul smell and Jason was sitting on the couch trying not to vomit. I was breathing through my mouth and praying that I would find my ring. I pulled out each piece of trash and shook it out to make sure the ring wasn't there. I finally got to the bottom of the bag and amidst all of the used Q-Tips and other unmentionable foul I saw my wedding ring! I pulled it out and burst in to tears. I was crying uncontrollably. Jason was still sitting on the couch staring at me in disbelief that I would be that out of control upset after I found the ring! I just know that I never would have recovered from throwing my wedding rings away and it was soooo close to happening. I may just start sleeping in the dang thing!
