The perfect ring.

I found the perfect ring today. A jewelery store in our fair town is going under and has a "last 4 days" sale going on during which most of the stock is 90% off. 90%. That like NEVER happens. All during our engagement I looked and looked for a ring that I was happy with. I suppose it's a simple ring, solitaire, preferably princess cut. My only stipulation was it can have no huge jump-out-at-you-flaws in it. It quickly came to me that this ring doesn't exist in my budget. I got a plain band instead, and decided I'd magically happen upon what I wanted later (knowing full well that what I wanted would NEVER be in my price range.)

UNTIL NOW. I found it. Perfect - clear stone, 1/2 carat, princess cut, beautiful setting. Regular $1500, now $153 + tax. Do you hear me? I mean COME ON! HOW OFTEN DOES THIS HAPPEN? Not often enough, I can tell you that. The timing sucks ass. However, I can tell you this - I will have that ring, come hell or high water, if they still have it tomorrow afternoon when I get off work.
