When I was 18, I made a decision that brought a certain something into my life...
For the past 16 years, this thing has been my constant companion through all the ups and downs of late teens/20s/early 30s. It has traveled to Asia, South America, Central America, Europe and throughout North America with me. It has been witnesses to puppy love, break ups, moves across states, new friends, weddings, and moves to other countries.
It saw high school graduation, college graduation and law school graduation, 2am nights out on the town, and 2am nights stuck at work.
But, due to a minor procedure that I have to have done tomorrow, I finally had to say goodbye.
So, goodbye dear belly button ring. Goodbye my rebel youth! Thank you for the memories...
PS. Upon removal of the ring, hubby's first comment was, "You have a really deep belly button!" So, I put down the carton of double fudge ice cream and got on the treadmill....
