Spring Trip

Was so fun :) I'm exhausted and don't feel like writing it all out, but it was really fun.

So Mawmaw died Friday and we left for the funeral today at 5:30 am. It was odd being front and center to the casket... it was odd seeing her, frankly. What weirded me out the most was the glossy glaze of chemicals on her lips and how the funeral director picked up her hand to put her rings on her fingers like it was nothing! Odd. Yeah it was sad, but hey, it's for the better cause she's been doing horribly lately.

On the plus, she told mom that she wanted me to have some of her jewelry. She and I both have tiny fingers, so I took four rings and a big broach. One ring was gold with a huge pear shaped aquamarine, which mom thought was nice since it's my birthstone. Another was gold and modern looking with a dark red oval garnet. There was a gold ring with what Aunt Murray thinks is a green peridot in a cool angled square setting and I wore it to the funeral. The last one was a really dirty looking silver ring with what we think are amethysts and some clear stones. Mom thought I'd like it cause it looks goth Medieval.

It was tough picking rings cause when it comes to nice ones like that, I'm mildly picky :P Gold isn't my thing... and neither are plain, simple settings. I like asymmetry, I like ornate, I like unique. I like antique. I'm not huge on squares unless there's something to offset it. I dunno, I spent way too much of my childhood learning about gems and cuts and jewelry. Once a nerd, always a nerd.

On the plus, I found a dorm mate :) This is epic!
