Guess what I got today
| Wed, 11-12-2003 - 3:18pm |
Ok, since I'm getting close to getting more "mature" I thoght it was time to do something fun. Time to break out of that rut we've mentioned.It was a toss up between the tatoo and the belly button ring.I told Dh, jokingly, I was going with the BB ring.And he said "I hope your 2nd husband likes it!!!!!".Was that a dare or what????
So I got a belly button ring!!!!I did however settle for a clip on one.LOL Going to wait for just the right moment to spring it on DH.And then I'll get to work on picking out DH #2.......

I look at it like wrapping a present,doesn't change what's on the inside.
No offense meant to anyone but sometimes I think things get way over thought.I'm not looking to change the world or myself, just finding a smile in the ordinary day to day things.
Oh, yeah and I'm looking to razz DH a bit while I'm at it!LOL

About 2 years ago I had, another, hole put in my ear, ya know, one of those high ones. It took over a year to heal, was quite painful because of the cartalidge and I've heard that the belly button thing is very painful.
But, the way I look at it, if it makes you happy, brings a smile to your face, go for it.

Your comments and make me realize just how far removed I have become from today's world. It's been years since I've even cared about being a function of culture and society, or cared what it thinks of me... and even when I did care (back in college and shortly after), I never fit in anyway. I don't do so many of the things that most women do to fulfill today's ideals: don't color my hair, paint my nails (I do my toenails in sandal weather), don't have many "fashionable" clothes, have jewelry that doesn't see the light of day, often don't wear makeup, my hairstyle is one that requires minimal fuss. Even my fitness, when it was solely about "looking good", failed because I was focused on something my heart believes is superficial. Since my heart believes that, I've found other ways to feel good about myself which have nothing to do with looks.
LOL, I really am a sour note in the orchestra of today's culture ;^), as is my husband. It's a note we don't mind playing, standing aside watching others pursue something, whether it's body art, big cars, designer clothes, or the latest electronic gizmo.

As for fashionable clothes...I have a few tops that I thought were cute but I don't wear those low rise jeans. Not a pretty sight. I rarely wear make-up since I discovered I'm allergic and well, I never wear it much anyway as I don't like the look much anymore. I change my earrings in both sets of holes about once a month or when I lose one and don't have a set anymore.
I find body art to be mildly amusing in the least and fairly objectionable in the extreme. I can't believe the things that some people will put permanently on their bodies. It's just crazy although my step-son had his baby daughter's infant footprint tattooed on his left shoulder with her name around it. I thought that was kind of special and very sweet.
You're lucky to have come to love yourself as is. Not many women can say that. I don't think of it as being a 'sour note' but more like being comfortable being myself....FINALLY! I've finally come to the place where I don't worry about what other people think. It's been a long, strange trip and I wouldn't go back for the world!
As for the electronic gizmos, I let DH worry about that stuff. I have no idea what a Blackberry is and I don't really care. I'm pretty sure it's just another electronic leash that attaches to your cell phone.
