A Little Sparkle For My Day

I finally took the plunge a few months ago and got my nose pierced. I love having a discreet little sparkle on the right side of my face! :D It was rather uncomfortable while healing, but now it only hurts if I accidentally bang it---which for clumsy me is a daily occurence. Sigh.



I've heard that it's almost the most unpleasant thing in the world to have a nose ring and a sinus infection at the same time...SO: I've started figuring in extra multi-vitamins into my monthly budget.


It's a great incentive to stay healthy! Everyone should get one......

The Little Pit That Could

"Mmm."

"Good guacamole!"

"Yeah, this is really good."

"Maggie, this is really.......Maggie?" They called into the kitchen, surprised that the guacamole monster herself was not loading chips as fast as everyone else.

Maggie was, in fact, carefully inserting toothpicks into the sides of the avocado pit and balancing it over a cup of water.

"What are you doing?"

"One man's trash is another man's treasure--or in this case, agricultural experiment." Maggie said, confidently.

They called her crazy and jeered at the little avocado pit. They told her to leave the growing of fruits and vegetables to farmers and people who belonged in overalls. They told her it couldn't be done.

But it could. And it was. And in 20 years I will have my own avocados.
