One last thought

I did something this morning that some may consider monumental/blog-worthy.

Drum-roll please... I took out 4 of my ear piercings (for those not-in-the-know I took out my second and third sets).

When my sis-in-law inquired about my motives, I paused.
"Because you are going to be a teacher...?" she hypothesized.
Well, yes I suppose so.

I just don't think they are doing anything for me anymore. (Which makes me wonder, did they ever?)

As I venture boldly into the realm of adulthood, I would like to reassure my parents...

Don't worry mom and dad, I'm still you're little girl. The nose stud and earth tattoo remain (one step forward, two steps back).
