it did hurt. because i am a wimp it really hurt. when she pierced it with the gun i jumped really big and the gun got stuck with the earring in my nose! lol she had to use tweezers to get it out. i am such a chicken when i heard the gun go off and the pinching i jumped pretty bad.

i wore a bandaid over it last night to bed to be sure it did not fall out. but it is secured in there well today. and looks better. if i can figure out how to post a picture link i will show you guys.

have a happy day

not a fan of facial piercings....

my daughter keeps threatening to get one....
quite a lot of her friends have the nose or eyebrows -- or the one I hate the most -- the tongue.

but if it works for you...more power to ya!

i don't like the tongue or eyebrow...

lol -- mlhb -- I DID do the belly button.
Had it for a year or so, but it was downright annoying.
I would catch it on stuff...clothes etc.

got it caught on stuff huh lexxxy?
too funny.

i changed my nose earrring if that is what you call it, to a nice small one. well, last night i tossed and turned a lot, i just could not sleep at all. when i finally did fall asleep my hand went up to my face grazing my nose and ripping the earring out! ok, THAT woke me up! it is sooo tiny but i did finally find it. i put it back in than layed in bed for over another hour before i could fall back to sleep. ugh.

i hate pms. that week right before for me, i am an emotional mess. every little thing, and i mean EVERY LITTLE THING makes me cry. i have a short fuse that week as well and i over analyze everything when i am in that emotional state. it sucks.

today i am not working and kids are with their dad til tomorrow night. i desperately need to catch up on housecleaning and i will work out as well. almost down 25 pounds... woohoo!

gekko and i are supposed to get together for labor day weekend, hopefully will get the tickets this week. meeting up this way, on neutral ground. we are both working through a lot of stuff in therapy and have decided to start with a clean slate. working through stuff brings about many emotions and feelings. it is hard to be dissected emotionally but good at the same time. i have many things i need to look at as does he. we still don't talk every single day and that is hard. clean slates are good and new beginnings are good. but i do still miss the talking every day. but that would be going too fast right now with everything else going on. i get that. slow and steady hopefully.

i'll feel better though when those plane/hotel tickets are ordered! see, the emotional pms talking.

ok, nuff of that little blurb. this is my happy thread darnit!

have a great weekend. i sure miss my kids. wish they were with me this weekend :-(

Ouchie!! Glad you found the nose ring though. I don't have one myself but I have seen how tiny those are.

Congrats on the weight loss! Good for you. I am going for my run later.It's too hot out right now but less humid than previous days.What do you like to do for exercise?

I vote for no man talk on this thread. It usually leads to the dark side,don't you think? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> lol

for exercise i love walking for miles and miles... i kind of like taebo too, i have that dvd.

i really love going to the gym. i would stay for like 2 hours a day when i could go. when i worked out of town i went to the one there every day. BUT, i work in my town now and we do not have a gym. i will be honest, i totally miss going to the gym. it made me feel so good to go.

i wish i liked running, but have never liked it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

p.s. no man talk on this thread, AGREED IN FULL!

I hear you. I once went to a gym too and we had an awesome high impact aerobics class. The instructor, a cute guy, had a great routine and great msuic so I was anxious to get over there every day. Then he left and we got some drab woman with bad music so I left! lol I've never tried taebo but it looks fun.

Now I'd rather do my own thing. I also like to rollerblade. Have you tried that? I like to go really fast to burn those calories.I love to swim too. Mixing it up makes it less boring I think. Hiking and walking are fun too.

i love hiking and up here in the adirondacks we have some beautiful trails, especially in the fall they are breathtaking.

ok, i have to add some "not happy" stuff into my "happy thread"
i am feeling VERY emotional today. i have cried quite a bit off and on all day. i know a lot of it is pms but i think i just have so much on my mind right now.i have a big college assignment coming due soon and a test, one of our dogs needs to be put down (i am saving it for the end of the month. it is our german shepard. having to do this is killing me but it must be done. i am not a big animal person but my ex left these dogs here when he left and my kids love them so i didn't have the heart to give them away. now one of them is really sick and it is just going to be hard to do. i have the dogs scheduled to be boarded over labor day weekend if gekko and i do our weekend. i plan to have the vet do it then. so i will bring 2 dogs and only come home with one.), i miss my kids because they are with their dad more than normal this month with him using one of his weeks of vacation with them, going back to my therapist, altho much needed, is causing some emotional stirring. and a few other things as well thrown into the pot.

so, i am sure all of this mulling in my head mixed with pms is just doing me in today. i will be fine and next thing you know, the tears just start and i can't stop them.

i rented some dvds for this weekend knowing i would not have my kids. i guess now would be a good time to go and watch them and to write in my journal.

ok, back to happy thoughts.

I'm game too! mlhb, I'm right nextdoor in the Berkshires. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I don't mind driving either so...I guess we'll see who else jumps in.

Sorry you're feeling down. I hope you have some fun movies to watch to take your mind off things.

i'll start a new thread for a get together.

dvds... well, i didn't choose any humorous ones, stupid me.
i love history so i am watching a movie on nero right now.

also got some good action ones like the manchurian candidate, that flight movie with jodie foster, one on king arthur, and another one i don't remember.

it is pretty sad when you cry during a movie about nero!
but this is what happens to me once a month right before that time. once that time gets here, i am fine. so i only feel like i am crazy a few days out of every month! lol

mlhb,

Not to stereotype but a lot of men start dating before they are ready. No problem for them, but they hurt a lot of nice women along their way to wholeness. AGG told Gekko way back when on the "divorcing board" that he wasn't ready.

I too went out w/someone who was "too fresh". It hurt when it ended. It's hard for you to see through all the pain right now but you will look at this someday as one of "God's greatest gifts". Your kids too might thank you. No matter how much of a cheat and a terrible husband your ex is,and no matter how great Ga. is and so on, it may have been hard for them to understand why you took them so far away from their dad.

You will be stronger because of this. This is a learning experience. From now on, you will be able to spot the ones who aren't ready from a mile away. The guy I fell for early is a super nice person. We had a great time together, and I enjoy chatting with him when I bump into him around town. But I look at my life right now and can't help but look to heaven and say thank you for not letting that one work out. It's not so much "what was I thinking?" as "wow, the person I am now is so much better matched to the person I'm with now" if that makes any sense.

mlhb, you took a risk (good for you). It's hard to give your heart away after being hurt by the one person who was supposed to honor and protect you. In the long run, we all know there are worse ailments than a broken heart. Keep yourself busy and keep lookin' good. And yes, do it for you. Because you are the one you can always depend on no matter what.
