a stranger remarked as he passed me on the Lady Bird Lake trail during my lunchtime walk. True. I don’t have a ring on “that” finger or any other finger as a matter of fact.
Does that preclude me from walking on the trail or should I throw myself at his feet and beg him to make me the happiest woman in the world and please pretty please put something sparkly on my finger?
I didn’t even know that men look for wedding rings on women. After a certain age it’s the first thing a girl looks for on interesting guys, it’s a crucial survival strategy to avoid getting into sticky situations. You also look for a ring tan line which is worse than an actual ring, and should send a girl sprinting in the opposite direction as if her life depended on it.
My response to this unusually observant comment… “Nope, just an umbrella.”

Are you trying to tell me you had an umbrella on 'that' finger? Because that... is well impressive. And no, men do not notice wedding rings on women. Although of course, I say that speaking solely for myself, and I wouldn't notice a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow on my front doorstep.
ok well maybe it was just the loop of the umbrella handle on my finger, but the full weight of the umbrella was hanging off of "that" finger so does that count?
Of course you wouldn't notice the pot of gold at your front doorstep you silly boy...you'd be at the top of the rainbow contemplating the universe.
I always check for the one ring on women now.
You should have had him make you the happiest woman alive. that sounds pretty good.
