Bling

Caitlin, left, congratulates Steph last night on the big news of her engagement to Pete.

We went to The Melting Pot and paid money to stress about cooking our own meat. My cynicism is surpassed by how much fun we had. And it's true, the food was really good. Especially the cheese, Brooke says.

When the ladies started squealing about the rock on Steph's finger, Pete leaned over and shared a funny observation with me: A few days ago he was distracted by a Victoria's Secret commercial when Steph commented on how simple men are. As Pete repeatedly sees women freak out over Steph's long-awaited bling, he couldn't help but draw a comparison in how "simple" women can be about a little shiny mineral.

Women and their diamonds . . .
