prodigal jewelry

wow.

after being so down on myself about losing jewelry, i am sitting here wearing both items (the ring and the necklace) once again.

who would have thought? certainly not me.

but apparently, i have the best boyfiend in the entire world. sometimes, i don't think i deserve him...

he spent the last 3 months searching, scouring, calling, emailing... and miraculously, in the final hour, was able to recover another necklace for me -- from a kind woman who also ran the race from which i originally got it, and who thought that what he was doing was sweet.

she has no idea.
