one of my most favorite friends wrote this email to my husband:
don't ask why i am perusing the tiffany and co website at 7:30am... i swear i was on nytimes reading about something important like libya and there was an ad and i clicked on it... anyway, your wife (one of my favorite people in this world) would really love this ring... ya know, if you were looking for a $1400 present for a random monday.... [link to tiffany ring was included here]
his reply:
1) 55% probability:
Mack linked to this, or mentioned something about it randomly on
facebook, pinterest, instagram, or some other website I know nothing
about. You saw it, and are trying to be
a good friend because she has also mentioned that my present buying over the
last few years has fallen short of expectations (I admit, it has).
2) 35% probability:
Mack specifically asked you to email and me and "casually
mention" this ring.
3) 9% probability:
Your smartphone fell down and accidentally typed this email out.
4) 0.9% probability:
You were actually on tiffany.com purposefully for your own reasons and, despite your bleeding heart, Peace Corps, Haiti-friendly beliefs, "diamonds =
love" is hard-wired into every female's DNA.
5) 0.1% probability: What you say happened happened (you just
found yourself on tiffany.com randomly).
That said, I am certainly appreciative of the
suggestion. I would love to get her
something she would love. I feel like I
haven't successfully accomplished that in forever. Maybe they will let me buy this ring in parts
:)

She forwarded it to me and said, "will you please tell him it really was the 0.1%?!"
haha. he can be kinda funny sometimes. but don't tell him i said so ;)
Dude I want your friends - I am only looking for a $100 ring from Dr. Evil (for our 15th anniversary he tried to kick the bucket and spent a couple of weeks on life support so I wore his ring during that time.) Now that he's recovered, I want an anniversary band (we're at 17 years next month) that is the same as our wedding bands...pretty cheap, right?!?! I need her to email my Dr. Evil!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hooking up with A Mother Life's Hump Day Hook up!
Oh no! That is so scary! I'm so glad he pulled through! $100 sounds completely reasonable to me. 17! Wowsah!
DeleteMy friend is on crack. The hubs would no sooner buy me a $1400 ring from Tiffany's than sell his kidney to a stranger on E-bay. Actually he's probably much more likely to do the latter, depending on how much they're willing to pay ;) The only reason I got such a nice engagement ring is because his parents are old-school Persian and that's how they do ;) He doesn't mind spending money on certain things, but a diamond isn't one of them!
I hope you get your ring. :) Visiting from the Hump Day Hook Up. (I know it's Thursday. I'm slow...) Nice to meet ya. xoxo Jane
ReplyDeleteLikewise! Happy belated Hump Day ;)
