Who got engaged on Valentines?

by

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?






Pro Dunk Basketball hoop

by

Have you ever thought of putting a basketball hoop up at your home? A number of people do this so that their kids have a safe place to play at home. Rather than worrying where your kids are you could just look outside and see them playing a game of one on one with a friend and not worry that they’ve wandered off somewhere.

Not to mention the fact that the kids get a little bit of exercise rather than staying indoors playing video games. I don’t have kids but if I did I’d want them outside playing for an hour or two each day, getting exercise, socializing with friends and making life long memories.

If you don’t already have a basket ball hoop or if you’ve been thinking about getting a new one you should check out the ultimate home basketball hoop. It’s called The Hoops Pro Dunk Diamond and it’s a high-end residential basketball goal system. Most basketball hoop systems only have a 4′ extension arm, but this system has an 8″ x 8′ pole, and a 5′ extension arm, plus an NCAA grade rim and backboard.

Here I am talking about kids and saying I don’t have any. My husband is the biggest kid of all and he used to have a basketball hoop at one of his former workplaces. He’d love one of these systems if we could find a place to install it. I wonder if they can be installed on the side of the house with an angled arm or something since we don’t have a garage or anything that you could attach it to. Hmmm I’ll have to think about this idea. Maybe Chris will have a fantastic birthday gift in a few months.
