Aggie Ring #2

(Not to make you feel old, Mr. Worley, Class of '02, but this is the only ring year I found on the Association of Former Students website. ;-)

Today Jeremy and I went to James Avery to get his ring sized. He did this because he is getting ready to place an order for his second Aggie ring. He is very excited, and the second we walked in the door he started filling out his ring order with all of the information.
Why is he ordering another ring just a few years after graduating? Well, for those of you who haven’t heard this story, let’s back up a bit and let me tell you why he’s in need of ANOTHER ring. A year or two ago we were out at my parent’s house in Magnolia. I needed something from the car, so I asked (well, maybe I ordered…) Jeremy to go get it for me. As he approaches the car, he sees a squirrel and decides to throw a rock at it…I guess because he was just a little annoyed with me. A few minutes later he proceeds back into the house where he holds up his hand waving it in front of my face. I had no clue what he was trying to tell me or what he was missing. In Aggieland we call that being a 2%er. Most would’ve noticed, I guess. Then he decides to open his mouth and communicate with us (my mom and I) that he had lost it. He then tells us that he threw a rock at a squirrel and that his ring had just flown off. We all then decide that it HAS to be out there SOMEWHERE and so my entire family is out in the brush and dirt looking for his ring. For a long time we look. My family looks on their own several more times. The ring was never found. We’re thinking that the little squirrel decided to take it as revenge! ;-)
Anyway, as I’m annoyed he just lost something of importance and high value I scold him and say, “THAT’S WHY WE DON’T THROW SQUIRRELS AT ROCKS!!!” In fine Amanda idiot fashion. And that was some much needed comic relief, at my expense as usual.

And on another note, while we were out, I decided to get my new toy. A very neat Dyson Animal. It’s purple, it has great suction, attachments for under furniture, upholstery, and a wand to reach high places. I’ve already seen it in action and seen results. We just had our carpets professionally cleaned yesterday and you should see everything this little purple vacuum was able to drag up…amazing. If my other vacuum had suctioned this much the bag would be full after about three uses. Wow! I already loved vacuuming and was a little obsessive, and I’m a little worried that this will make my vacuum obsession even more out of control.
