well i did it now! missed her b-day! I wanted ta giver some diamonds but since money is tight i figgered i could improvize. couldnt find any diamonds at the dollar store so i figure ta make a few of me own! ahhhh i got it!! I gits the ol miter saw out and commence ta cuttin some out. well after makin 4 of em the didgets was a little to close to the blade so thats all she's gittin! they turnt out much better the wally world had at much less the price. they was bigger too! bigger is always better right? they was sooooo big [how big was they?] they wouldnt fit on a ring so i put em on a purty chain. so i hadda find a chain! well since i was outta blue tape i needed i better [well maybe not better] way to put the diamonds on the chain so i looked around and found some zip ties. I sez to meself, self, this is gonna make her so happy! its a little heavy but she is a sturdy woman so i think it will go good with the box i made her last year. [she liked that too!] so whadda ya'll thing?

You did good Fred. Real good. She's gonna love that. The chain is a bit too much though. You could have pinned the diamonds on her with some brads. You're making the rest of us look bad!!!

You are looking at this wrong! You didn't forget. She forgot to remind you. She should be beside herself, consoling you because you are so disappointed that she didn't leave little reminders around the house. I think you are in line for a little toolage to make up for all this stress!
