Well, I got my ears pierced yesterday. And I got my hair cut. See?
It's a great haircut, because what you see is me in my jammies and I haven't even combed my hair yet this morning. And it looks pretty good, don't ya think?
And the earrings-- that's a long story. I had my ears pierced back when I was oh, thirteen, in the dark ages of the seventies, when ear piercing was done in a doctor's office for a fee. My girlfriend did it for me with a needle and a potato.
(Pause for shock and disbelief.)
Unsurprisingly, my ears got red and crusty and I had a long red streak down my neck. I'm a little surprised I survived. The piercings didn't.
So yesterday's ear piercing was a Big Event. (Done at Claire's for free with purchase of earrings. Times have changed, no?)
And you'll notice I chose to go a little radical right off the bat, with an unusual placement of a first piercing. Why? Um. There's this little dimple in my ear lobe that just begged to have a little sparkly stud put in it, and I thought, Why Not?
I'm (very) slow to jump, but when I do, I do it a little different.

I did notice the placement! They look wonderful and I like the new style.
something we have in common... my first ear piercing was also done by a neighbor (who happened to be a nurse) with a potato and a big needle. However, I still have my original piercing and no red lines happened!
You look great. :)
Woot! Pierced ears and a hair cut all at the same time!! Next it will be highlights and a toe ring?? :)
I was one who got the doctor's office piercing, but have a metal allergy, so for all the years I wore earrings, I had itchy, burning holes. (I'm a slow learner!)
Congrats on the progress to a new you. I am maintaining that life begins at 50, so we are gearing up, right? :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

I think it looks awesome!!!! Ya know there's room there to do a second set at the *normal* level...
My daughter got hers double pierced last year because she has that same little dimple and it looks so cute!!
I love the jump you made. Everyone gets their ears pierced, but how many have them in that position? I used to have 7 earring holes and I loved to wear mismatched earrings in all of them.
