Ode to my Agnes Scott Ring

Sometimes you can't catch a break. In short order: I was super sick over Christmas, in January I worked my regular job plus my new job in transition (exhausting), my wonderful old Toyota died with 15 years and 210,000 miles, there was massive chaos getting new insurance as Missouri has a backlog in putting new driver's licenses into the public database that insurance companies use, the day after I got my new Corolla my old Corolla was broken into and ransacked.

The funny note to this break-in was the theft of 2,000 condoms from my work with Planned Parenthood. As new-Mama Sister in South Carolina said, "Well, perhaps the hoodlums won't reproduce." It was entertaining filing a police report for 2,000 stolen condoms.

Alas, my Agnes Scott Ring was stolen. These rings, as any good Decatur grrl knows, are the pride and joy of alumnae. So sad. I comforted myself knowing that the ring has a lifetime warranty. However, theft and loss are not covered in the policy. New rings cost AT MINIMUM $455. Since I have a new car payment and a much higher insurance payment, I won't be getting an Agnes Scott ring anytime soon. April is my 5 Year College Reunion. Soooo sad.
