...which is why I was so heartbroken when I lost one.
I know, I know, it was foolish of me to take them back to South America. It was even more reprehensible that I wore them on a three day river trip down the Rio Napo, on a tributary of the mighty Amazon. I deserved to lose one, some might say. I have no excuse, other than they were my favorite earrings, and they looked great with my turquoise necklace. I mean, there is no reason not to be accessorised, even if you are roughing it in the Amazon basin...
So anyway, I was really really really sad when I realized that one of my earrings was gone. I probably lost them one of the many times our rotund guide Tomas tackled me out of our boat. I also knew that my boyfriend would never ever again buy me anything from the wonderful Sundance catalog again if he knew that I had lost one while roughing it in the Amazon. So I did what any red-blooded American woman in my tragic situation would do: at the next Internet cafe I encountered, I ordered myself a brand new pair- even though they cost more than I have ever spent on a piece of jewelry. I had to- I loved those earrings- and plus, I wanted more presents from your catalog. Little did I know that by doing so I would contribute mightily to global warming and perhaps to the destruction of the very Amazon basin I was enjoying so very much...
By the way, I have never mentioned any of this to my now-husband. Like I said, I didn't want to give him any reason to never buy me anything from Sundance again. But I guess that doesn't matter much any more... since I am never going to buy anything from Sundance again*...
Although I am wearing the Frida earrings as we speak. I mean, they are still my favorite earrings and all...
