Cha-cha-cha-changes

I have retired my wooden pinky ring as of this morning, and like everything else, there is a story behind it.  Things come and they go, just like they do with everyone else.  I'm always buying jewelry and losing it, mostly things from the Ren fair, oddly enough, so I'm not blind to when something is "just not jelling" even if I think it's cool.  But my ring, I thought, was safe.  Not so.

My pinky ring is wooden, so it comes off for showers and washing my hands, then goes right back on again...
