Diamond Rings and Silly Things

Okay, so it's random, I know. Let me explain my new title.

It was quite a journey coming to this title - see, I'm not very creative so I have a very hard time coming up with something I'll like for longer than a day...or an hour. Whichever. Anyway, so I played with titles for a while. First, I was going to take the advice of my friend Chelsea and try to work my last name into the title. But the more I looked at titles with "Hunter" or "Huntress" in them, the more I thought they sounded harsh, which I didn't want. So then I wanted something crafty, but the only ones I could think of that I liked were taken (Camilla, I love your personal blog title as well as your craft blog title!) Then I thought of doing something that started with an M, but everything I liked has been used. I went through song titles and lyrics, movie titles and quotes, foreign quotes and sayings, before I finally settled on doing something with candy in it (after considering "Sunshine and Lollipops" which was too overused.) Unfortunately, everything I thought of was either used or bugged me too much after a few times of saying it. So to help me think, I went and polished my wedding ring. I love my wedding ring. A lot. And I thought to myself, I like diamonds, let's try something with diamonds. It got a little formal though, so after being very frustrated I thought "I just need something silly to balance out the diamonds!", so I settled on my new title.

You see, "Diamond Rings" represents my marriage and my love of my husband. He bought me this ring against all of his better frugal judgement, because he saw me lose my breath when I saw it. I told him to go with a more simple, inexpensive ring (yes, we went ring shopping beforehand, but I liked it that way), but he got me the one he knew I loved. He is the most frugal person on the planet I think, so that was saying a lot for him. :) And also, I love him. Even without this ring, I would love him forever, but this ring is a token of that, which is a token of me now, so I thought it fitting for my blog title. Plus, diamonds are pretty, and I like pretty things too. :)

Then the "Silly Things" part. Well, our whole life is just a bunch of silly things, really. My daughter = endless silliness. I think we laugh more at her than anything else in life. Also, Jon and I are always teasing, tricking, and playing jokes on eachother. We're a pretty silly bunch, and no matter how old we get or how many kids we have or however stressful life gets, that will be a constant. So the "Silly Things" represent every other aspect of our lives.

So there you have it - my new (and hopefully improved!) blog title and address! If you hate it, well I don't really care because I like it, and if you love it, then thank you! :) Happy blogging everyone!
