symbolism

It’s official. I might as well admit this here too. I have lost my wedding ring. Yep. Weeks shy of our 7th anniversary. I have to come clean, of all the grrrs. My beautiful white gold ring with it’s blingy-bling diamond is gone. It’s heartbreaking and frustrating. I’ve gone through all the emotions and feelings regarding this already so if this post seems a little cold to you, know it’s not. I am really sad it’s gone, but there is still that tiny shred of a hope that I’ll find it tomorrow…

So, having had the whole teenage-single-mom look for the last couple of weeks, I have decided something must be done about that naked ring finger.

something more… permanent…

something I couldn’t loose…

like a…

tattoo!!!!

Yes, my friends. I’m finally ready to mark myself up. or ink myself up. whatever, you are getting the idea. Ben hates, I mean, HATES tattoos so selling him on this idea won’t be an easy one. I thought of going out and sneakily getting it, but then, let’s be honest here, getting a wedding ring tattooed on my finger against my husband’s will seems a little… wrong. Especially since I want it to say “beloved”.

I’ve been coyly hinting at getting this tattoo done every day. In the little subtle ways that only I have with him… ways such as, “Ben, I really, REALLY want to get a tattoo! Pleeeeeeese!!!! Pretty pleeeeeeeeeeeeese! I really wanna get it!”

and now, to a certain SOMEONE that can remain anonymous if they so choose to be… I am not copying you! I want wanting to have this done years ago- before you were married and got your matching ring tatts- but Ben wouldn’t let me!

Friends, I know many of you are so silent, but I need your support. Either tell Ben when you see him that I need a tattoo or e-mail him please. Or leave a comment here and you CAN BE SURE that I’ll pass it on. and if you think that I shouldn’t get a tattoo… well, let’s just say I still have comment publishing rights! 😉

Have a great week, ya’ll.

    Um. Wow. You know I have a tattoo. That said, it hurts. A $25 simple band from WalMart would cause far less pain. LOL. And, I'm so sorry you've lost it! Dustin had a ring made for me. It wasn't my wedding ring, but it was heart-felt and honest and thoughtful. I left it at a restaurant our last trip home. It's like someone died, that ring was so special to me. So, I'm really sorry.

    I'm just catching up on blogs. Go for it! Josh put the nix on my nose ring. Oh, for better or worse or until we wear them down :)

    I want a tat also, but maybe on the inside of my wrist where it's a little less noticable. Love the idea of BELOVED,,,,I'll work Ben during the day for you.

    Robert lost his wedding ring after three months. Now he has a $12 band from Wal-Mart that he WILL NOT part with! Anyhoo, I think that the tattoo you described would be special.
