Losing My Cool Points

Sniff...sniff....I had to take out my belly button piercing tonight. I originally had a ring, and then bought a "pregnancy" belly button barbell. These are made from medical grade plastic and are supposed to make your piercing more comfortable as your belly expands. Unfortunatley my piercing irritation did not go away with the new barbell. In fact, it made it even more irritated. So I decided that since my sleep was actually interrupted every time something rubbed against the barbell, it was not a good idea to keep it in. I didn't realize how attached I was to this thing until I took it out. I've had it for 12 years! The hubby told me not to be sad and that I could always get it re-done (and this time professionally). I'll have to see how much damage this kid does to my belly. I may not want anything accentuating my belly. LOL.
