Ow. What was I thinking?



So, on Saturday I was at this great big mall in Nashville. I'm not much of a mall shopper any more, but my sister had free premier passes to the movie "Penelope" and I walked about the mall afterward.

You see, I've been feeling the need for personal expression lately. Not sure why, perhaps its a 42 year old woman thing. I had a terrific makeover last week, cutting and coloring my hair and I feel marvelous! (see my flickr page for Extreme Makeover - Me Edition)
But it just wasn't enough. Honestly, it has come down to getting something pierced or tattooed. REALLY.
I love little delicate diamond studs in a nostril. I think it is the cutest piercing! Imagine walking into my workplace with a nose piercing?
I work for the FARMERS co-op, for 12 "good old boys" I really don't know if I would be able to wear it to work.
So then I thought, well, a little tattoo would be sexy and hideable. But where to put it? shoulder? back? ankle?
I couldnt decided.

so I pierced my ear cartilidge. I LOVE IT. its about 1/2 way up my ear. A little silver stud and I bought a hoop to put in when its ready.
Let me tell you I feel like a little rebel.
And oddly empowered.
WEIRD.
Must have been that Penelope movie. Which by the way was excellent girl power movie. Rated pg. but good either way!
