going to the highest bidder

recently I've had the chance to look at several wedding rings and I've found the one. not for now, but for whenever that someone special comes along. it is a michael b. 3 sided princess ring I'm quite convinced that this is the one and my mind won't change which is fortunate because it will make the ring part easy, however, it's a little unfortunate because it also comes with a pretty price tag. I don't even know the full price of the real michael b. but the setting alone is a mere $4500 and that 2 carat radiant cut diamond can't be cheap.

now, I have been looking for substitutes and so far I've found one for only $15,000. at this point I may have to marry for money, not love. but isn't it pretty?

the lunch date

last night i came to the conclusion that i really like the lunch date. it's low stress, casual, and it doesn't have to last for 6 hours like evening dates around here can. evening dates are great, but i just think the lunch date is too often overlooked. some of my lunch dates have been the best i've had. they are just easier, so i would say throw one or two into the mix to keep things interesting.

i thought i'd post an update on the job hunt--i still don't have one. so far my tactic of having the perfect job fall right into my lap hasn't worked. it almost did, but then they decided that i didn't have enough of a technical background (i haven't quite figured out what they meant by that, but i wasn't thrilled by the email-telemarketing job i was offered instead).

my goal for this coming week--send out some resumes.
