piercing

So... I may come home one piercing less.
I lost the earring in my cartilage and... so I hope it will not seal up. It is actually a rather funny story...

Crystal, asked if I had lost a little hoop earring, and of course I responded, "no."
I had no recognition of the tiny hoop. it looked like it belonged to a little girl. and so when Margaret got back, we I asked her if she had lost an earring and she said no...
So... the day goes on... I come back from eating dinner out, the first time out in Spain--ridiculously expensive--and that is when I realize that I am missing an earring... a small hoop from my right ear.
I then informed Crystal that it was my earring and that I hadn't recognized it before (because I never take it out) and then she said she threw it out and so she starts looking through the garbage! oh boy... I felt rather bad.
If I am lucky, and my hole does not seal up before Monday, I'll buy an earring to replace that little hoop!
