my nakey finger

yesterday, my wonderful husband reminded me we needed to take our rings to zales to be checked for our warranty.  Since we don't really have enough time to go together, I decided to just go myself (we only had til the end of the month to do so).  So there I went, with my ring proudly displayed on my finger and his ring carefully stored in that little pocket inside the pocket (it worked really well).  Once I got there, I told the lady the deal and so she takes our rings and inspects them-- Cale's is okay of course, (his is a solid band), but while the lady is prodding my ring with some tweezers, I see her frown.  She then walks over to me and shows me that there's a loose diamond on my band.  I'm thinking no big deal they will have my ring for three days max (like when I got my ring and band saudered together) and then it will be back on my finger.  But then she tell me that it won't be ready for pick up til the 13th of february,  that's right--- 3 weeks later.  She asks if I wanted to leave it with them now and I asked her if I had the option and she said yes, but if the diamond falls out the warranty will no longer stand.  sad day.  so there I left, me and my naked finger and went home. what a bummer.  On the other hand, I am very thankful we got that warranty.  I never got warrantys in the past, but I am glad we did.  It would suck even more to walk around with a diamond missing from my ring until we had the time and money to fix it.  I'm just a little bummed about missing my ring for 3 weeks.
