My engagement ring paid for my new ring, but it will also help me buy a couch and TV whenever the hell I move out. Should I have anything leftover, it'll go in my savings account.<br /><br /><br />And thank you for your kind words. You are not alone! There are tons of us.

A baby blue mustang convertible. Yes. This car screams divorce. Yes. This car is used and as a result is providing me with some headaches. But to me, my car is freedom. There's no feeling in the world like putting the top down, hitting the open road, and feeling, well, free. After feeling like I lived in a cage, for years, there's nothing better.<br /><br />Thank you also for starting this blog. My divorce has been in the works for more than a year (the state I live in has very old-school divorce laws) but it will be final, hopefully, any day now. Your blog makes me feel like I'm not alone.

It's really funny, my next novel, (being released this summer) is about a divorced woman who doesn't know what to do with her engagement ring so she sells it on craigslist for 99 cents! The catch is, SHE gets to pick the buyer, and starts interviewing all these guys getting ready to pop the question. <br /><br />I would love for you to guest blog (post this blog) on my blog. Please let me know if you'd like to do that! www.divorcedgirlsmiling.com. <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733955230049348499noreply@blogger.com
