Last week, a sister called me with an offer I couldn't turn down. She had a friend who was a jeweler make her a custom pendant of the Alpha Gam badge. It sat flat on her neckline and it was just GORGEOUS! Everytime she wore it, I always complimented her on it and wished aloud that I could have one in white gold so I could wear it everyday with my other jewelry.
It turns out that she lost her pendant (
) and decided to have her friend remake it. She she emailed me and asked me if I wanted to have one made in white gold with pearls and diamonds.
She told me it would cost around $250, so I debated telling Sean and asking for it as a Christmas present. Then I said, "What the hell? Why do I have to ask him for permission? I'll use my money and buy it for myself." So I told her to give her friend the go-ahead.
This week a package arrived for me at the house. Sean calls me at work and says, "Did you order a very expensive looking diamond necklace?"
I said, "what?!?!" (acting like I had no idea what he was talking about and secretly dying of a heart attack inside.)
Turns out he was kidding--it was a book that I had ordered for him, but he doesn't know how close to the truth he came.
So my question for you, sisters, is: have you ever done anything like this? Should I come clean and tell him what I did?
