I recently got my nose pierced - saturday to be exact. (yup, I really went through with it and LOVE it) Some people have given me funny looks and ask "why would you want to do that to yourself, isn't it painful?" not to mention all the questions about possible infection. My response to them... I did it for me!!
Throughout my life I am have always been doing things for others. Even going through the pain of childbirth is done for someone else. Not that I am complaining because, of course, I do reap benefits from that. :) This piercing was my expression of myself. (Back in the 'ol highschool days I was one of the first kids in my school to pierce the top of my ear LOL - seriously! Boy did I just age myself there or what!!??)
Over the course of the last few weeks I have been weaning Elizabeth from nursing. I think we have finally accomplished it. I have started dieting (once again) to lose all that extra baby weight from being pregnant. I am working on a whole new me. Not that I am miserable or uncomfortable with the way I am, but I want to regain myself - I want to be "Prudence" again, not Ryans mom or Anthonys wife. Please do not get me wrong. I love being those things too but I do not have to ONLY be those things. Once upon a time, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a simpler (and much thinner) me. One that was spontaneous and loved to travel and stay out late and do things with friends. Not stuck, staying home 24/7, nursing, feeding, bathing, cleaning and the such. I want a reason to get up, take a shower, do my hair and put on make-up.
So this is my goal....I will keep you posted on the progress :)

I think the piercing is adorable!
Bravo! Prudence, you know me, I totally understand where you are coming from. It has been so nice to finally "get myself" back since having Beau. Having your own identity aside from being a mom and wife is so VERY important. More power to ya!
Yea! I'm so jealous! I've thought about piercing my nose, but chicken out on a regular basis. I'll stick with tattoos! :) Hooray on your new goal---good luck! :D
Yes, we're back...Mr. and Mrs. McGarry! :)
prudence, i feel you so much on this subject. i wish i new where to begin. its like i am everything else to everybody else except me. i LOVE it also and wouldn't change a thing, but sometimes i wish i could be me for a few minutes. then again i think about it and i guess this is me; now.
