August 01, 2007 | False Start (or a Pause, If You Will)
You were expecting shoes today, weren't you? I was totally planning on showing you some shoes, and telling you all about them. Where I bought them, why I bought them, and why I love them (or maybe don't love them but can't part with them). But I have no shoes for you.
Instead of coming directly home after work and taking a photo of shoes, I went to Target. On my way home from Target I decided I should get my nose pierced. This is not as whimsical as you might think it to be.
I've been contemplating the nose piercing for a while now. I even attempted to get it done a couple weekends ago in Santa Cruz (and failed miserably - one place wasn't doing piercing anymore, and the piercer wasn't in at the other place). I had done a little bit of research on where to go locally to have a hole put in my nose, and as I was driving home from Target, thinking that the piercing place was only a slight detour on my way home and I could just go now and get it over with, my car sort of steered itself there. About an hour later, I was heading home with a sparkly little bit of jewelry in my nose.
So, In light of today's spontaneous decision, I think tomorrow would be a better day to start writing about my shoes. Unless tomorrow also seems like a good day to go get a tattoo...
Ah! You totally have the most perfectest nose for piercing!! It looks so great on you :) :) As for me, I would never get anything pierced.. but I'd love to get at least two or three more tattoos.
For those interested, there is a photo of the nose bling here.
Could never do it myself (boring librarian that I am) but I'm sure you look as cute as a button with it! Can't wait to see it.
I'd totally get a tat, just not the nose piercing. I've been thinking long and hard about a tatoo. I just may do it...or not...who knows.
Wow! That is amazing. I'm too old now, but I'll live vicariously through you - o-kay?
Thanks everyone!
Amy, it did hurt a little bit, but it wasn't that bad. The guy who did the piercing was great and told me exactly what he was going to do before he actually pierced, so I kind of knew what to expect.
Wow, I admire your bravery as well. Did it hurt?
I would kind of like to get a nose piercing. I think mini diamond studs on a nose are beautiful. There's one big problem for me, though... I am *always* rubbing my nose. Doesn't matter if I have a cold or not, but I always seem to have to rub or scratch it. That doesn't bode well for a nose piercing, methinks.
Although, I can just imagine the look of horror on my in-law's faces if they saw their son's wife with a nose piercing... that would almost be worth it. ;)
You have the perfect look for a nose ring! I admire your bravery.
Delurking to say... awesome.
Call me if you do, I've been itching for my fourth tat.
