Anyone else who can't stomach Christmas commercials?

Diamonique! Big bling - little money.

I was out shopping with my RBGF and we walked by a jewelry counter/store.
She stopped and told me she wanted to look at the earrings. Naturally, I went to the real diamonds and started to browse there.

She told me that she found a pair! I said I'd put money down on them and pick them up later. She got this weird look on her face and said, "down payment?" I said, 'Yes.'

She started to laugh because the pair (diamonique) she picked were about 30 bucks, they were huge honking stones but she didn't care. She told me later that she didn't mind that they were cheapos.....she knew I loved her anyway.

I remember last year on Valentines day we saw someone up in a hot air balloon... oh yes FEbruary 14th and some whacko was up in a hot air balloon. it must have been FREEZING up there. and I said to Brian "You KNOW there is a proposal going on up there right now" Man I can think of much better ways to propose than in the middle of winter 100's of feet off the ground. I like winter but come ON haha.

And not a bow in sight?

I read that some idiot rented a balloon to propose to his sweetie and he hid the ring in a camera case?

He dropped the package over some orchard and spent the next week, with a buddy, trying to find it. He eventually did, so I guess he got engaged after all!
