On a side note- I'm finishing the 4th Twilight Book "Breaking Dawn" and it's the best book I've read in a while. Now I understand what people have been obsessing about. Stephenie Meyer knows how to captivate readers from cover to cover. You won't be able to put it down!!

Topaz Cocktail Ring Kick

I'm on this kick to find a Topaz Cocktail Ring for my soon-to-be fiance to buy me a wedding day gift. I know it's a little early to think about, but we should be engaged in the next couple of weeks. I've already picked out my engagement ring and matching wedding band. :) I'm not one for surprises and I wanted it to be perfect.

Anyway here is the current Topaz Cocktail Ring that I've been stalking on bidz.com.

The link is below if you want to bid on it. I'll be stalking another ring in precisely 6 hours, 1 minute and 35 seconds.

Millionaire Matchmaker

The Millionaire Matchmaker is a must see reality TV show on Bravo every Tuesday at 10/9c! The host, Patti Stanger, is a 3rd generation matchmaker and is extremely entertaining. She takes male, female, straight or gay millionaires and attempts to find them the one.

Her millionaire clients are unique in their relationship problems and personalities. Patti has to fix many of their problems with people or habits before she can set them up on dates. Watching Patti tell millionaires like it is and what they need to do to be success in love is hysterical.

Apparently I've loving Matchmaker shows with my previous post on Tough Love Couples. :)
