\"The<\/p>\n

I really and truly did! And what better time of year to get an engagement ring!<\/p>\n

And no, you don\u2019t need a boyfriend to get an engagement ring! I just felt like making you curious with my deceitful, yet half-truthful, post title.<\/p>\n

Actually, here\u2019s how the story goes\u2026<\/p>\n

About a month ago, my Mom and I were going through some of my Grandma\u2019s things and we discovered this special engagement ring. My Mother thought I should have it! I can\u2019t tell you how precious it is to me to have such a priceless family heirloom.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s my Great-Grandmother\u2019s engagement ring!<\/em> And it fits perfectly! When does a random ring fit like it was made for me?!<\/p>\n

Pardon all the exclamation marks, but it was such a special gift. It means so much to me…<\/p>\n

My life is perfect. Diamond ring, but no boyfriend! It\u2019s a great deal. Yup. Lots of benefits.<\/p>\n

Speaking of being single on Valentine\u2019s\u2026when I was decluttering my closet<\/a> a couple weeks ago, I found this old, random article from a magazine. It\u2019s title \u2013 \u201c101 Ways to Be Your Own Valentine\u201d. Maybe you\u2019re single on Valentines, or what I call, \u201cSingleness Awareness Day\u201d\u2026if so, you might want to try a few of these ideas from the magazine article. (smile)<\/p>\n

\"101<\/p>\n

This list kind of cracked me up. There were lots of crazy ideas like\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
