shoe-less day

today is the day where you're not supposed to wear shoes, in support and recognition of people who don't wear shoes everyday.

Kristen Bell made a super cute video about it. she's going shoe-less.

so is Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas. so is Demi Lovato. AND all the Hanson bros.

i'm sure more people are too, but those are the celebs i know of. because i follow them all on twitter. except for Demi Lovato. but, i found out she was participating via Joe.

anyways. so far i haven't left the house. so it's been pretty easy.

i'm going through a debate right now. a debate over my earring. MY ONE PIERCING. which is constantly giving me problems.

it's infected again. i think the last time it was infected was just before the one-year mark. mid-march. now it's the beginning of april.

i've been online for a while this morning researching all the methods people go through to help the cartilage piercings heal and whatever.

sea salt baths.
chamomile tea hot compresses.
tea tree oil.
hydrocortisone cream.

i don't know what i should do. i like having the piercing, but how much longer until it stops getting infected? for real. will it get infected every month for the rest of my life?!?! it's been OVER A YEAR!

COME ON!

one guy was like, 'i poured sea salt into a mug with a chamomile tea bag and let it brew for a while. then i used it as a hot compress on my piercing three times a day. within two days it was better and never got infected again!'

i suppose i could try something like that. because i already have the sea salt from right after i got it pierced. kara's friend kate told her that sea salt worked better than what they gave you in the store. so, i alternated between both cleaning methods.

and right now i'm once again back to cleaning it three times a day with alcohol.

it was bleeding a lot again the other night. it seems to be bleeding more now when it gets infected then when it would first start to get infected.

i don't know. i'm kind of sick of it. but then there's the part of me that likes it. especially with my teal stud. and now that i have my teal streaks, it's like a super coordinating awesome mix.

anyways.

in other news, Netflix is sending me Zombieland today. i will get it tomorrow. i texted kara yesterday asking, "zombieland is at the top of my queue...what's your final word....is it too scary for me!?"

and she replied, "i think you can handle it. there are more funnies than scaries."
and i said, "what about grossies?"
and she said, "more funnies than grossies."

SO - i am getting it. and i will watch it. and i will finally hear 'It's Only Wednesday' in cinematic form.

also, last night i had a dream about the iPad. i had a dream i was typing on it. i typed, "i wonder..." and then i stopped typing.

let's see. what else can i tell you since i last blogged. oh, i don't know. i guess maybe that's it.

today is my big NAIL ART day. i woke up and realized that i don't have any toothpicks. and ideally, i would need toothpicks for NAIL ART day.

i guess i could go to the store and get toothpicks and chamomile tea bags.

maybe instead of blue nails with yellow stars, i want hot pink nails with black stars. or, black nails with hot pink stars.

i can hear babies outside right now. they are playing in the daycare lawn. it's very sweet.

i might take a shower. and then head to the store. but i think i'll wear shoes because i think you're supposed to when you go into stores.

i'm listening to the Twilight soundtrack again, and i really like the song, 'Slow Life,' by Grizzly Bear with Victoria Legrand.

alright. i suppose i'll talk to you later! after my big nail project.

i might watch Almost Famous too. i feel that watching it could maximize the chance that Crash Kings would want to be my best friend and let me tour with them in Ol' Blue. research purposes, ya know.

OK. have a great sunny day. i think i will. it's not as hott as it was yesterday.

take care!
