I got a couple new pairs of shoes, taking advantage of Payless's Buy One Get One half off deal.
And then I got a second earring in my left ear (I used Photo Booth to take the picture, and it takes a mirror image, so it really is the left ear).
I know it's random. Some people get tattoos or plant a tree. I guess I felt the need to do something, since we didn't get to bury Friday, and there's nothing to say, "He died. Here is where we remember him." And I'm sure I won't think of Friday's death every time I look at it, and I won't get a new piercing every time I experience loss, but this is my marker. (And yes, Jon was there when I got it done--Holly's first question when I called and told her I was doing it.)
That's better than what my students do when they experience a loss...they get a tatoo of a tear drop placed under their eye.
ReplyDeleteCool new earring! And you gave me flak about my nosering. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the shoes, too.
Oh, I like the shoes, too!
ReplyDeleteDid the piercing hurt in that cartilege?
@Momma: Well, yeah, it hurt, but I don't think any more than a normal piercing. It felt like a hard pinch. Kinda still does, actually.... :)
ReplyDelete@Karen: You know how you felt like you were going to pass out when you first changed your nose ring? I felt kind of lightheaded doing the required cleaning and twisting the earring around. Such a weenie am I!
It looks great with your short hair and your artsy self. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, Lydia...what a goof.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat way to remember Friday! It looks great, too. And, I love the shoes...especially the ones on the right. I might have to get some of those!
ReplyDeleteThey are cute shoes! That earring makes my ears hurt! :)
ReplyDeleteI love my cute artsy ghetto pirate pilates pal. You make my mornings (and days) better. See you tomorrow!
