It's been a few busy days around here with 2 inorganic chemistry lab reports due, 1 test and 1 final exam, 2 all day fashion show rehearsals+shows, and most importantly of all Tim's mom being in the hospital... I ended up forcing Tim to go sleep at my place instead of watching my shows since he really needed some rest. Thanks to all of you guys for the positive vibes/thoughts sent toward her recovery. At first everyone thought she fell and hit her head on the way down, and then in the middle of the night at the hospital she had a major heart attack... and then the doctors finally realized that those two events weren't unrelated and she's been having mild heart attacks that went unnoticed/untreated for the past 2ish weeks now. The reason she fell was because one of such attacks. I've been trying my best in between my to-do list to distract him in numerous ways, like getting him the far right spiked skull ring in the picture above. Collecting different skull rings have been kind of "our thing" since the beginning of our relationship; we've always found cool skull rings for each other at garage sales, secondhand shops, and online.  I've never seen a ring so spiky that it should really be classified as a weapon. I saw it while shopping at Buffalo Exchange and it successfully cheered him up a bit. BTW, sorry to the reader that wanted to chat with me while I was at Buffalo; I didn't mean to seem so aloof but  I just spent the past hour crying under all the stressful situations and was out shopping for some distractions. I looked like complete crap so I was super embarrassed to be recognized... 
PS. Congrats to Kristy Elena for winning the Amrita Singh giveaway. Once the hellish days are over (monday will be the end of it) I will send the ring over to you. Sorry for the delay!
PPS. These are some of my recent jewelry acquisitions... you guys should check out charlotte russe right now since they're (surprisingly) carrying some badass chain pieces, perfect summer shorts, and lacey tops. I totally caved and purchased a whole bunch of costume jewelry from them.
