little things that matter

what do i do with this?

i have a pile of papers and books growing on my desk that's almost as high as my monitor, and it isn't a big desk that i've got (it came with the room...i personally prefer huge desks). so there's my monitor and a number of articles and books that i need as i write bits of my thesis everyday on top of my desk. and keys. and pens. my hand cream which is almost done. my watch and a claw clip. a phonecard. a takeout menu from Wok's Taste. and also a container i used to put spices in which has been sitting on my desk for over a week because i didn't get around to washing it and prepping it for the next bag of spice. i can't get rid of any of the papers or try to organize it because i use them so often. well, when i write anyway. it's starting to get to me, though, because i usually am better at working when my desk is neat. however, looks like that'll not happen over the next few months so i gotta learn to live with it. or just leave the house when i can't deal with it anymore.

so after the whole engagement news, and seeing M's ring (which is kind of a small version of the middle one in the picture of the entry abt the engagement), i couldn't help but do a little browsing of my own for engagement rings. it's a way of drowning my sorrows in something i believe will not happen for me. not in the near future anyway. plus b'deshis don't get engaged the fairy tale way that canadians or other westerners do. at times like this, the internet can be your best friend. well, the internet can be your best friend most times. except those times that you get carpal tunnel. and that's really the keyboard's fault.

i like this ring that u see above. i really like it. like really really. it's a tiffany one. i like a lot of rings from tiffany actually. birks has some great stuff too. i think i remember that E wants one from birks.

this tiffany setting solitaire is also fabulous. however, i don't know what i would love as an engagement ring. anything like either of these two would be fantastic of course. maybe someday i can buy one for myself. if i can afford it, why do i need a guy to get me one? so what if it's called an 'engagement ring'? i guess i'm just a big diamond person. the bf thinks it's all overrated. so u can imagine where i'm headed. he, of course, has no idea that i'm even looking at rings, even if it is for my own pleasure, nothing more, nothing less. he doesn't visit the blog often and maybe he won't find out.

maybe i'll walk to the grocery store today...seems like a nice day out.
