jewelry earrings


I have had pierced ears for a long time. So, wearing jewelry earrings is a daily affair for me. I take my jewelry earrings out every night. I don't like the feel of earrings when I turn from side to side in bed at night. Picking out and putting on jewelry earrings is part of my morning routine when I get ready for work or just for the day. 

When I got my ears pierced many, many years ago my Mother insisted this occur at the Doctor's office. Now, she and I had to get past my Dad's reluctance for me to have "holes in my ears" as he put it. When we had jumped that hurdle I did not push it about going to the Doctor's office to get them done. The Doctor pierced one ear, left the needle in the ear to go across the room and get the sanitized jewelry earrings. I saw the needle out of the corner of my eye and proceeded to pass out! The Doctor pierced the other ear while I was coming to. No problem!

Mom and I kept that tale of woe to ourselves. Dad need not know about the difficulty I had getting "holes in my ears." For many of the following birthdays and holidays I received jewelry earrings or gift cards to those types of stores. I have gone through stages of wearing big jewelry earrings, to more subtle earrings to posts. At this stage of the game I have a nice variety of jewelry earrings and go back and forth depending on my mood!
