i had dinner with my sister last night. we had to meet so she can give me back my wedding ring asap. i left it last weekend at my parents’. i’m not comfortable not wearing the ring.

the ring is my guy-repellant. (Edited: hubby reacted. read my comment on this post) in the same manner, i hide it when i had to. i do not take it off, i just hide.

i remember one time when i was still with my previous team, the floor had new occupants. other teams that came from another department. people who had no idea that i am married and a mom. with the new occupants (who i noticed were very territorial), my pedestal was moved.

i never labeled my pedestal, i just put it in one place and it never gets moved out from there, so i always knew where to find it.

that one particular day, i needed something from my pedestal. and as i approached the area where it used to park, the guys swarmed in. and i just said, “no, i was just looking for my pedestal here. it has no label.”

and the guys hurriedly looked for it (hey, i’m not holding a contest. the first one to find it won’t win a prize you know). times like this, hiding the ring did the trick.

guys can sometimes be easily manipulated. tsk! tsk!
