So, my fingers swell up when I workout and I get pretty sweaty, thus I don't wear my rings at the gym. Well, that means that people can't tell I'm married. But, I'm no beauty queen at the gym, so whatever. Anyway, I'm a doctoral student, so I can go at off-times. I've been going mid-morning, when it's chock-full of retired folks. I recognize some of them now because it's usually around the same time.

When I was on the treadmill the other day, the cutest elderly couple were on the treadmills next to me. They struck up a conversation and asked how my workout was going, how often I come to the gym, if I'm married etc. I said that I am married and they ask what my husband does and where my ring is (!). I told them that I left them at home and that he was a resident, but they think that means he's a medical student. They also don't believe me that I actually do have a ring.

So, the wife starts giving me all kids of advice like to "get supper on the table on time" to keep my husband happy so that he will take care of me when he becomes a real doctor and makes money. She said he'd buy me a ring then. I decided not to explain and told her that it had better be a big one! She and her husband were laughing and said I was spunky.

Now, word has spread among their friends. So, when I go to the gym now, random senior citizens will ask me how school is going for me and my husband and if that husband of mine has gotten around to getting me a ring yet. I think that one day I am going to borrow a ring of my mother's (she has some huge ones) and wear it in there and say that he graduated. I hope that I don't have class during that time in the fall because I will miss them!
 
Oh that is soo cute! And arent you sweet for taking time to talk to them.
 
Well, they were telling me that their kids are all grown up and don''t live nearby, so how could I not? I like chit-chatting with them. But, it''s hard because I usually don''t like to talk to people at the gym - I like to get in and out. They are all so nice though!
