Man, this illness certainly is lingering. I haven’t been feeling well for a little over a week now and it really doesn’t seem to be getting any better. I haven’t really done much of anything these last few days except for laying around the house. I feel so bad today that I’m not even going into work tonight. And… I never call in work sick. So I really must be feeling like crap. There was so much that I wanted to get done this past weekend like sorting through the kid’s urban clothes and seeing what I need to buy them. But I wasn’t able to do any of that. Oh well, this thing can’t last forever now can it?? Hopefully soon I’ll be feeling like my good old self again.

It really has been a rough couple of days. I don’t know if I’m coming down with the flue or if I have a Thyroid imbalance again. I really don’t want to go to the doctor as if it is the flue they can’t do a thing for me and I will have to sit at the outpatient for about six hours. But if this feeling keeps up I think I’m going to have to just in case it is something a little more serious. So I guess I’ll wait it out for a couple of more days. If this feeling doesn’t improve or gets worse, then I guess I’ll have to go sit at the hospital for six hours.

Well it’s a typical Monday. I have a crap load of work to get done today after the weekend. I have a lot of computer work to finish up with and have so much housework to do that I really don’t even know where to start. It’s days like today that I really wish I wasn’t the only one in the house that does anything. The rest of the family has no problem making messes, they just have a problem cleaning them up. Oh well, I guess I shouldn’t be so surprised. This usually happens to me every week.

Well as you can all tell, I really haven’t been online that much these past few days. Well that’s because my computer is seriously acting up and I honestly can’t deal with all the problems. So I just get done what absolutely needs to be done on the computer and then I shut the thing down. It’s times like this that I really wish I had gone to school and got qualified for some tech jobs. But since I didn’t, all I can do is fight with this thing day in and day out. I know I really need to replace this computer but I can’t right now. So I guess I’ll have to do what I’ve been doing at least for a little while longer.

Man, it has taken me over an hour to get online on this stupid computer. The kids had no problem getting online with theirs and my husband had no problems either. But for some reason my computer doesn’t like me today. I don’t know, maybe it’s paying me back for not being online very much this past week. But, I’m on now. So I’m going to finish all my work as quickly as I can and then shut this thing down. I think I’ll have to do a little cleaning up on this computer and hopefully the next time I try to go online it will treat me a bit better.

How to Compare Diamond Weight from Two Different Designs
When you are trying to get the best deal on a diamond, carat weight is one of the biggest ways to compare two different diamond purchases. It is hard to compare one diamond engagement ring with a center stone and various small diamonds surrounding it with another design that may offer a solitaire stone that is larger. People think they can use carat weight as an accurate appraisal of the amount of diamond in each, but that’s not true. There are differences in color, cut, clarity that can affect the value of the jewelry, also. Also, the carat total weight (CTW) of diamonds can be a bit misleading when the center stones are not weighed separately.
Clarity, Cut, and Color
The other three C’s of clarity, cut, and color can have a dramatic impact on the price of a diamond. Smaller diamonds may enhance the visual look of an engagement ring, but they may not be a valuable as an Asscher cut diamond or a high grade diamond of unusual clarity or color. Don’t assume that carat weight is the end all and is all of diamond grading, and don’t be fooled by the carat total weight that may be advertised.
It’s Legal
If you have a bunch of smaller stones in a diamond design the vendor is allowed to list the CTW of all the diamonds, instead of listing the center diamond stone separately. What this does is it can inflate the diamond carat weight of the center stone, even if the smaller diamonds are of poorer quality. It can also inflate the price, based on carat weight alone, if you do not ask for the carat weight of the center stone alone. Only by knowing the true carat weight of the main stone in the diamond ring can you accurately compare it to another ring that may not have smaller diamonds surrounding it.
