Deal breaker?

On the radio this morning, they were asking people if the ring could be a deal breaker in a proposal. Apparently for Carmen Electra, her ring is a deal breaker. She is upset that her fiance bought it from a website and ONLY paid $2000 for it.

Most people said that it wasn't an issue for them and I have to agree. Dh and I had been dating for a couple of months and I told him I wanted something "round and shiny" for Valentine's day (I was mostly joking, but that's ok). We both worked for a local hobby company at the time and when I got to work that afternoon (he worked days and I worked nights), there was a ring box sitting on my keyboard. When I opened it, I found a bearing for an R/C car inside. It WAS round and shiny LOL Then he told me that he would buy me a ring but it had to cost under $100. We went to K's that weekend and picked one out. My whole wedding set cost less than $200! That sort of set the tone for our whole wedding which we pulled off (including the dress, rings, everything except my engagement ring for) for about $1100.

P.S. Quig's sister said that with all the nicknames floating around (Pretty Girl, Bubba, Looseyfur, X-Man and MacTroll) that she felt like she was reading some super hero blog. I want to be part of the super hero revolution so hence forth my kids will be known as Miss Thang (MT) and The Boy (TB) because those are awesome names! LOL

Love and marriage

C approached me after school and asked me "when 2 boys get married, can they have a baby" I told him that they couldn't physically HAVE a baby but that they could certainly adopt a baby. Of course, that led to having to explain what, exactly adoption is. After I got through that explanation, he announced "well then, I'm going to marry J and we will adopt a son." So I had ot ask why he wanted to marry J (the way his mind works never fails to amaze me so I HAD to know the answer) His response? "Because he tells the funniest jokes" Sure, ok.

J's mom is down with it and likes the idea of getting to be "mother of the bride"(although C says they will say "I now pronounce you husband and husband and then they will say 'you may hug the husband' because there won't be any kissing" LOL) AND getting to be a grandmother. C thinks tomorrow would be a good day to have a wedding.

My mom is pretty stressed out by the whole thing and felt compelled to point out that typically boys marry girls, not boys. Of course, I had to pipe in with "but if that is the person you love, boys can marry boys and girls can marry girls and it doesn't matter what other people do" C mentioned that O could marry A because they are both girls and I said "or O could marry B" which was met with a sound of disgust(all kids in his class) to which I was told "well they would say you can kiss the bride and then B would throw down his bow tie and say 'I quit' because girls are gross.
