    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I still haven&amp;#8217;t gotten the hang of writing blog entries on the iPod Touch.  It a seems my entries are full of typos since I don&amp;#8217;t pay attention to the predictive text.  Anyhow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As many of you know, I&amp;#8217;ve had a love/hate relationship with my engagement ring.  One of the diamonds kept falling out if I looked at it funny.  And several months ago(I told you I was behind!), yet another diamond had fallen out of it.  So we went back and I explained again about the ring and they called corporate and they figured out some convoluted way to replace my ring with a different on.  We had to send it to regional where the manager would then decide that the ring was irreparable and them from there, they would get me a new ring to my choosing.  It jus had to be as much or more as the ring Chris had paid for it.  So we searched their collection and I picked one out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The problem is that I already had my wedding ring at that point and I needed to find a ring that didn&amp;#8217;t look too bad with it.  I didn&amp;#8217;t find a perfect one, but I found one that was good enough.  Here it is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wasn&amp;#8217;t originally in love with it, but three months later, its grown on me.  So far, none of the diamonds have fallen out and that makes me very happy.  The next time I have to go back is for the six month check up and cleaning.  Hopefully, that&amp;#8217;s the only reason why I have to go back!&lt;/p&gt;
