So this past weekend, i went with my boyfriend to VeloSwap. It's a giant yard sale full of everything cycling. He rented booth space to sell a lot of his stuff in order to afford to buy my engagement ring. What a sweetie! So, of course, I thought I'd tag along and try to help him sell stuff. I mean, I can be persuasive if I want to be. And you better believe in this case, I wanna be!
So as the day was winding to an end, Kyle turns to me with a challenge. There was a bike stem that had been sitting on the table for sale all day for $5. He said that if I could sell it for $1 or more, he'd propose by the end of November. (We'd already sold his road bike and knew he'd made enough to completely pay off the ring.) Up until this point, I'd gotten a promise of engagement by the end of the year, but it was looking like December 31 might likely be the day. So, hell yeah, I took the bet!
Needless to say, it doesn't take a whole lot to convince a woman to spend a dollar to help a sister out! That's right. It took less than 5 minutes to sell that bike stem to someone who had absolutely no desire for it. Take that, sucker! So, within a month, I should be posting some exciting news and a picture of a beautiful shiny ring. Can't wait!
