Getin’ Some New Bling

Last night my watch battery died. This was ironic because of the story behind my watch… My husband had been planning to propose (unbeknownst to me) on our one year anniversary of dating. When he picked out the ring he made some changes, like switching the center stone from a round to a princess cut diamond. When he went to pick up the ring it wasn’t ready and wouldn’t be ready in time for our anniversary. He haggled with the jeweler and ended up getting a Bulova watch for free, which he gave to me on our anniversary rather than the ring. I wear the watch every day and have never once replaced the battery in eight years. Funny now that my marriage has “died” so has the watch battery!

I took the watch into a jewelry store today after work and while they were changing the battery I asked one of the sales girls if they every bought back wedding sets. She explained that they have an exchange program where individuals can “trade” their sets in and get credit toward newer/better sets. To this I responded, “Oh, well we’re getting a divorce so there would be no need for that.” She then started laughing and said, “Oh! well yes, bring your set in. You could get a beautiful right hand ring or diamond earrings, whatever you’d like!” So, needless to say, I’m going to get myself some new bling! Anyone want to go shopping?
