Just sitting here late in the night babysitting some Windows Office installations, and thought I'd ask: Is there someone in your life whose jewelry you absolutely adore and at times strive to procure for yourself?
For me it's my dogs' vet. She's been our vet for 15 years. She's a fantastic vet, she's saved the lives of several of our hounds. She also has killer good-taste in jewelry and whenever I drag a sick dog to her I secretly look forward to ogling her gorgeous rings and bracelets. It takes a true sense of personal style and self-confidence to relieve a hound's impacted anal glands while wearing an Oprah-sized diamond on your hand--I mean, even Oprah couldn't do that!--or swab Q-tips in big dirty ears while wearing a Tahitian pearl on a long white-gold wheat chain <gasp!>.
I even love her costume jewelry. A few weeks ago, after returning my sick cat to home, I made a quick circuit of all the women's clothing stores near the vet clinic searching for the waist-length crystal necklace she had been wearing as she checked his vital signs. Alas, I found nothing close. But I still hold out hope.
I know I should really tell her "I love, love your jewelry and I secretly look forward to ogling it while my dogs are sick," but I'm too shy--and maybe a bit embarrassed to admit this. So that's why I'm admitting it on TPF, because I know you girls will understand. Now back to the Windows Office installation....
Is there anyone in your life whose jewelry you're this crazy about?
