A coworker who's been living with her man for a million years is now sporting a 'gagement ring, so I said something like, "Apparently you're engaged now."
She: "Yeah, it was bound to happen, we've been living together so long."
Me: {{bon mot about her casualness about it}}
She: "It was either this or a plasma TV."
Ohwhuh? She wanted a teeny engagement ring instead of a plasma TV? wtf is wrong with chicks? "It's what HE wanted," was her excuse. Come on. Like she never watches anything. Or maybe she only watches "Monk." I'm still boggled.
She added something about "six months of paperwork." Nah. Still boggled.
Now if it were a choice between our own version of the Yankee Workshop or a plasma TV for my engagement thingie, that would indeed be a tough call.
