No excuses. But here I am. So just read and try and forget how infrequently I'm posting, ok?!
The week was full of the normal stuff... too boring to mention except for seeing the new Harry Potter movie last night (it was eh, the affects were great, but the books are SO much better!) with Sophie & Linda.
With my ex just back from her business trip late last night, I dropped Sophie off to her early this morning and am looking forward to a busy, but kid-free weekend ahead!
Tonight, aside from going to services, will be spent at home relaxing.
Sophie has been asking to get her ears pierced for a couple of years and after being told she was too young, this summer it became an all out NAGGING CAMPAIGN, since most of her buddies at camp had pierced ears! I have seen a lot of growth on Sophie's part as far as responsibility goes, so I pushed the cause with my ex and we agreed that she'd be able to have them done before her 9th birthday in August.
The past few weeks has had Sophie either coming up to me, my ex or Linda and pinching our earlobes and then asking if getting your ears pierced feels like that or asking us to pinch her ears to show her how it will feel! It sounds funny, but after the first 50 times, it gets a bit annoying! Trust me on this!
So, what she knows that it'll happen sometime before Aug 7th, but not a specific date.
Well, it's going to happen tomorrow!
I'm going to meet them at the place at 10am when they open. That should provide good blog material! (This is a child who hates needles and pain! Perfect candidate for ear piercing, right?!)
From there, Linda & I are heading up to Massachusetts for her college sorority reunion picnic! )No I don't know which one!) She hasn't seen any of these people since college graduation, but has recently caught up with some of them in F*CEB*OK.
On Sunday afternoon, we're going to check out the GBLT Wedding expo up in the Hartford area. Kind of looking forward to talking to some vendors and getting some ideas and contacts for our big day.
Shabbat Shalom.
Chuckling at the ear pinching! Enjoy the weekend!

OH BOY!! She's gonna be shocked!
Can't wait to hear the details.
That's pretty cool.

David was the resistant party. He specifically asked me to play up the discomfort (both during the actual piercing and in the maintenance during the healing period). So when Miss Ari asked if it would hurt I told her, "you might hit the ceiling."
When I took her (Gili was with us) to the Piercing Pagoda on the lower level of Trumbull Shopping part she was still determined not to let fear get the best of her. Imagine my surprise when Gili urgently tugged on my shirt, his head thrown back as he looked at the ceiling in terror, yelling, "OH! Ima! DON'T let her do it! She'll get hurt!"
Hope it went okay! Also hoping we get to see those pretty bedecked lobes!
(Just wait... now that she has one set, it's only a matter of time before she asks for a 3rd hole....)
XO,
