Pierced Princess
This weekend was an adventure ..
"J" and I headed into PG at 8am on Saturday morning to go get our noses pierced .. I was talking a mile a minute on the drive in .. I dont' think "J" even got one word in .. why was I talking so much ???.. well I was really nervous about the piercing .. you'd think that a person that has had 4 total hip replacements, kidney transplant, shoulder replacement ..etc .. would be thinking this was a piece of cake BUT not this girl .. I was shi**$#g my pants .. we end up getting to the salon 20 minutes early but good thing we did .. we walk in .. check in and then the lady at the desk gives us a info sheet about cleaning and what you can and can't due for the first month and then we get a test .. yep a TEST .. another thing to think about and stress about .. well we passed with flying colors .. did I mention that you could just look at the info sheet and then write the answers down .. anyways this girl got 100% .. feeling good about things .. we walked into the BRIGHT white sterile room and get a talking to about the same things we just read about and did a test on .. well then we get a verbal test .. I was thinking to myself .. is this that dangerous or scary .. like why do we need to go over and over and over this ...then I notice that this guy has no piercings ?!?!? "J" asks him "will this hurt?" .. he looks at her with a funny face .. it's not really a hurt but more of a sting .. okay if it's not that bad then why don't you have any visable piercings?? I'm really freaking out .. "J" and I decided I would go first .. well I basically told her I was going first .. I DON'T want to know if it hurts ... finally it's piercing time .. "J" has to leave the room .. I'm by myself .. the heart is racing .. welllllll to make matters worse the Piercing man tells me that I have to take off my sweater .. ummm excuse me ?? Did I mention it was my NOSE (which happens to have no clothing on it ) that I'm having pierced .. I'm a bit confused but I do as I'm told .. after I tell him I have nothing under the sweater but a bra he LETS me have a hair dressing cape .. now my blood pressure is through the roof .. he then continues on with these silly games .. he puts an ice pack behind my neck and then a big one under my knees .. "What the hell am I doing .. have I made a big mistake?? This is worse then getting ready for major surgery .. THEN ... yes it continues .. he starts telling me to take some deep breathes .. OH MY GOODNESS ... I wanted to phone my family and friends and tell them all that I loved them just in case I didn't make it .. ??????????? After all the breathing ... which happened to be more then when I delivered Linden ... he says okay here I go ... then a bee sting .. a little adjustment and bang it's over .... This guy makes me go through hell and back for a bee sting .??? What I'm trying to say is it didn't hurt ME ... yes it was "J" turn .. she looks at me with trust in her eyes .. "Did it hurt .?" I repy with a quick "no, nothing like I thought it would" ... poor poor "J" .. she was in there for 1/2 hour .. I started to worry .. did she faint? .. is she getting lucky with the piercing dude ?.. was she kidnapped and taken out the window ?.. the waiting room started to fill up with others waiting to get something pierced .. still no "J" ... I just about went up to the front counter and asked the girl to go check on her .. well after ANOTHER stressful event .. "J" comes out of the room .. she is alive! .. not looking like she got lucky ?!.. not kidnapped! .. live is good .. until I see her face .. it's mad ... she says .. "You said it didn't hurt" .. I say " well it didn't" .. "J" continues .. "try having it done 4 times!!!!" ... Unfortunately "J" had to go through the process 4 times before the guy finally got the stud in .. I think to myself POOR POOR "J" and then .. "THANK GOODNESS I WENT FIRST!!!!!!" It was quite an eventfull process but I couldn't think of a better person to go through it with .. thanks "J"
The day did get better .. we got to have Starbucks .. those "London Fog" are pretty good .. although I did get the look of death when I asked for a "London Fog" .. and then a " you mean a misto?".. nope actually I seriously want a London Fog! Oh we did some solid shopping ... ate a great lunch and totally enjoyed our day .. thanks Mom for looking after Linden for me .. it's been a super long time since I went shopping without the big guy .. who happens to HATE shopping !?!?

Congrats! That does sound like a major process worse than my tongue that's for sure. So what does linden think about it? you will have to post a picture of it when it turns a normal color. PS. Yeah they really don't like you calling it a london fog...I would stick with Misto from now on
Linden keeps saying "Bug Mom" and trys to pick it off .. then I say "don't you like it" and he replies .. "pretty!" I will take a pic soon .. it's not even red!
you are a very brave girl!
That is more than I go through for my tattoos - and I sit in there for hours under the needle! An ice pack for the back of the neck might be a nice touch though - I think I'll mention that the next time I'm in there...
