I can't believe I actually did it....after spending close to $4000 for a new a/c for my house, I decided to buy myself something. Yes, I was selfish and I admit it!
I met some Clack friends at Amanda's the other day, and a fellow teacher had some rings. No, they were not hot, but he does have a friend who buys out bankrupt pawn shops. Marty bought some rings to resell. Well, since I have helped him daily with computer stuff at school, he let me buy a ring from him for $175. Yes, at first I felt guilty. I mean, I had to get a loan for the a/c, so what possessed me to think I could spare a couple of hundred for myself. This is the woman who wears the same underwear for years, just to save money.
Last year, my favorite aunt, Helen, gave me a ring she had made back in the 50's for herself. She decided that would be a perfect 50th birthday present for me. Well, I had yet to get it appraised and put on my insurance. I did this week.
Guess what my $175 ring is worth????? Sit down, PLEASE!! $1600.00 YEPPER, you heard me!! Now I know I deserve it!! Woo HOO!! I feel good!!!

Good grief! That's better than playing the stock market! (And prettier, too.)
Well, that $1,600 should keep you in gas money for a few months.
Hey, how much did Aunt Helen's ring appraise for? (The only thing I inherited from my aunt was a nervous disposition! LOL)
$1750.00 I feel rich!!
/That is wonderful. The ring is even grander in person! Of course the person wearing it is grand too.
