The Ceremony

There wasn't a ceremony! But I did get a good deal. I told the guy at the store that I had seen it $50 cheaper on their website, and then he knocked it down another $25 off that. Awesome!

I am officially trying to be nicer to myself.

Oh, and I have another date tonight. Unfortunately, I have not heard from #4. I am very disappointed!

I'm marrying myself!

Yes, it's official. I proposed and I accepted.

Okay, so it sounds weird, but here's my reasoning: I am much, much kinder to and more accepting of a man that I am dating seriously than I am to myself. So I want to commit to treating myself as well as I treat them. And in exchange, I get this nice ring for my right hand.

Maybe it's partly an excuse to by myself a $329 ring, but it's also a serious commitment. I am too hard on myself (as so many of us are) and I've got to learn to be loving to myself. They say you should try to become the person you would want to marry, and I want to marry someone who is nice to me! That's not generally who I date seriously. Hence the being single thing.
