What should I do with my ring?

I've been thinking about my ring and what to do with it.

The way I see it, there are a few options:

1) Sell it. Get the money. Not that it would be a lot, but hey! Or save it for bartering durring the Zombie apocalypse...

2) When I first took my ring off, I went back into the jeweler that we bought it from to get it cleaned. The jeweler told me to brink it back if I ever get re-married and they will add the value of the ring to whatever new ring my future husband and I buy.

3) Save it for my kid? Though that is a little weird...

I don't know. Thoughts? Thoughts? What did you do with your ring and why? Are there options I'm not thinking of?

Did you know that I am divorced?

It's true. I'm divorced. 

And still I run into friends who don't know. All they remember is that at some point I got married.Who can blame them, really? It's hard enough to keep up with really good friends, let alone friendly acquaintances or friends that you haven't seen for years.

It makes for some really awkward reunions. 

There have been a lot of awkward things in my divorce. And, for that matter, in my marriage. 

What about you? Have you had some awkward divorce moments?

If so, know that it is normal. You wouldn't have had a divorce in the first place if something awkward hadn't happened.

You want a "matchless match"

Not just any guy or gal will do! You want to find someone who shares the same values and the same goals as you.

This scene from Fiddler on the Roof starts out with a couple of girls who just can't wait for the town's matchmaker to find husbands for them. They are desperate for matches! Then, throughout the song, they realize that they want a good guy, someone that they can trust and depend on. They get scared that leaving their matches up to fate will get them in bad situations.

By the end of the song they realize that "Playing with matches a girl can get burned" and suddenly their new goal is to find matchless matches. Safe, reliable men.

I love this! Besides, didn't our parents always teach us not to play with matches?

FYI, my favorite line is "You've heard he has a temper, he'll beat you every night! But only when he's sober... so you're alright!"
