Dying for My Ring!!!!!!!

[princessre]

Okay, you guys are great at giving advice about rings. Now, please tell me, HOW TO NOT FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO DIE IF I DON'T GET TO WEAR MY RING NOW!!! I won't receive it until Christmas!!!!!! God help me!!!!

I think I remember reading that the time slows to a crawl right before you receive the ring. Well, I cannot imagine the time passing by even more slowly than it is now. Don't get me wrong....I have other things going on too....but many times a day I have that anxious excited feeling in my stomach like "Where's my ring? When do I get to wear it!!!"

Thanks for listening!!!

Do you have a picture of the ring? Gazing at a pic has helped me a bit in the past - here's hoping the time goes by quickly for you!

Awww, CONGRATS!!!!!!! Do you know what your ring looks like? I would distract myself by imagining how it would look with different jewelry ensembles and with different outfits. LOL... waiting is so hard! It used to drive me crazy! I don't know how I survived before DH proposed - I had no idea what the ring looked like so that made it even harder to wait!

Here are some things you can do!

1. Do your nails (again!)
2. Watch a chick flick with an engagement in it
3. Work out! Gotta look fly in your engagement pics! LOL
4. Go to the SMTR forum and click through the zillions of rings there
5. Scope out what people around you are wearing on their ring fingers
6. Call your bestie to vent feelings of excitment and pending anxiety about waiting... do not do this if she is not engaged, though!
7. Crank up the music and dance out the excitement!
8. Moonwalk
9. Stare at your naked finger because it won't be naked for long!!!!
10. Get an awesome DSLR in preparation for your SMTR thread!

To add to the list:

Put lots of lotion on your hands while you can. Once you get your ring, you won't take it off and have the option of a) having a diamond covered in lotion or b) dry hands. lol!

i know how you're feeling. i designed the ring, spent months researching, found the perfect one (got SO to pay for it ) and it arrived end of last week. now i'm just waiting and waiting for him to ask. i've already tried it on and taken pictures. and when i'm home alone and bored i take it out for some sparkle time. GAH!

i've taken to online shopping to wile away the time hahaha. that and eating out more.

focus on the good parts coming up though! channel that feeling into excitement and happiness

I would plan a whole bunch of things to do that you'd do without your ring on your finger. Then at the end of the day you can check it off the list before you went to bed and count down one day too.

1. Beach Holiday
2. Gardening
3. Baking stuff
4. Swim
5. Visit with friends who are having relationship problems...

Not sure if the climate is right for one and two right now but you know the gist of what i'm saying...
