Who got engaged on Valentines?

by Tricia

Ok, so tell me … Did anyone get engaged today? It is Valentines after all and I believe that this date, and New Years are the two most popular days for popping the big question.

No, I didn’t get engaged. Uh huh. Nope, back when I got engaged – 13 years ago, it was New Years Eve. I didn’t even get an Engagement Diamond Ring that evening since we were both jewelers at the time. Yes, believe it or not I had a rare disorder known as “Jewelry burnout”. I bet that you don’t even know anyone else who has that disorder do you?

I still don’t have an engagement ring. Maybe it’s time to get one, although I have no idea what would go with my custom made concave diamond and emerald wedding band.

Hmmm let’s see. If I was going to get a Diamond ring I think that I might like one like this Diamond and sapphire engagement ring, but I’d see if I could substitute the sapphires for emeralds so that it would go with my wedding band.

Which engagement ring would you chose if you were looking?

Biggest snow storm of the year

by Tricia

Well, if this is the biggest snow storm of the year – it is so far- it hasn’t been too bad.

I think we got about a foot of snow here in Toronto. I haven’t been listening to the weather reports so I could be off one way or another by an inch or two, but looking outside I’d say a foot is a good estimate.

Perhaps the fact that it’s so cold here kept some of the snow from falling? It’s -13 Celsius at this moment and I believe that that’s close to 1 F. Pretty cold!

I’m not complaining. We’ve had very nice weather this winter if you exclude this month. However I do hope that Spring hurries up and arrives. I want to get outside for walks and with the weather this cold I just can’t convince myself as to how good for me a walk would be. Brrrrr!

Funny animal videos and pictures

by Tricia

If you read this site, or any of the other sites that my husband and I write then you probably already know how much we both enjoy funny pet pictures, and funny animal videos. Well, I must tell you, I was very happy when I visited PetHumor.com just now.

The site is full of funny animal videos and pictures, pet jokes and it even has a funny top 10 list of pet cartoons. The site is updated daily with new items sent in by pet owners and pet lovers.

You can probably guess that I’ve already bookmarked the site, and I’ve also subscribed to their RSS feed so that I can know each day when the sites been updated with new humorous material.

If you enjoy funny animal pictures and videos be sure to visit PetHumor.com.
