A new piece of jewelry

I turned 51 yesterday.  Another birthday.  Another milestone in my life.  Ha!  My clock is certainly ticking. ;)

So, to celebrate, I went with two wonderful friends to New York City for the weekend.  Katie had never been there before and saw it through a newcomers eyes.  Asha had lived there for several years during college, and therefore knew all the hip places to go.  I've been once or twice ... but this visit was different and very very fun.  I can't wait to go back again.

The one thing I knew I would get while there will surprise you.  I can't believe I did it.  I've been admiring them for more than 10 years and wanting one for myself for more than 5.  But.. I was afraid to get one.  Really?  A Belly Ring?   Yes!  A navel piercing!   I did it.  As did my friend Katie.  Asha already had hers so she joined in and got a new beautiful jewelry piece for hers.  I did it.  Now... six or more months of healing.  So far, I love it.  I think it is so beautiful.  (I've always loved my belly and even fat as is is... I love the belly ring).   Silly me.  51 years old and piercing my navel.   Laughing out loud.
