I can't believe I did it! =O

I got my 2nd holes done! :) Just 6 weeks of cleaning them left to go. ;)

Well this week got off to a bad start back home and trust me I clouldn't wait to get away from my parents. Two weeks away will fly by, but at least it won't be torture being at home with them.

So yesterday we met up with my aunt over in Albemarle, which is basically an hour away each way. So we ate lunch and let the dogs stretch their legs and potty and such. Then went our own ways. ;)

On the way to Gastonia, my aunt asked me if I still wanted to get my ears pierced and I was like yeah. I was told by my other aunt that I wouldn't do it probably because I hated needles as a kid. Ok, that was when I was a KID! I was 4 the first time I got them pierced, gimme a break! So she was like well lets go get it done today. I was like alright!

So we unloaded the car and dropped KoKo off at home. We told my grandma that we were going over to the mall, but we would be over. Hah! ;) So we went over to Claire's at the mall. I wasn't sure how BADLY it was going to hurt. Everyone told me it wouldn't hurt as bad as the first holes did. Well lets re-wind a little bit...

I got the first holes done at age 4, after I asked for them. They got infected, and I was probably allergic to the post also, so the first holes were messed up anyways. Well they closed up and so when I was 17, I had them redone and kept them open for the past 11 years. I wear earings in them daily.

But back in HS I wanted to get my 2nd holes and have been debating it on and off since then. Well finally this year I said to hell with it, I told my aunt she could take me to get my 2nd holes for Christmas.

So flash-forward to yesterday, the lady that did my piercing had gotten her 3rd hole done like last week and she said it hurt! I was like GREAT! What I needed to hear! :shakes head: But she then said her 2nd hole didn't hurt as much as the 1st and 3rd. So I felt better. ;) hahaha She also commented about my ear lobe and I didn't catch all she said, but I was like are you trying to tell me I have big ears?! LOL No apparently I have good piercing ears or whatever. So she made me laugh, which got my mind off of the impending pain. So she was like you want me to count or just do it. Initially I said just do it and then I said count. LOL

So the first ear is done, and it honestly felt like some one just grabbed my skin and pinched it lightly. NOTHING! Second ear, it hurt a little more than the first, but it was also on the side that hurt to have the 1st hole re-done. So it was NOT bad at all.

Marci you need to take Julie and get her first one done, and you need to get your 2nd holes. hehehe

So that's that. I hate the cleaning part. They are a little sore today, but not bad. I slept comfortably last night and tried not to lay on them. Kind of hard when you prefer sleeping on your side. hahaha

So that's it. Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate it! :D Christmas is in 15 days! Yikes! I still haven't 100% finished my shopping......
