I Want Wednesday...

I guess if I'm going to be keeping this blog up I need to keep with my set patterns.

So my "I want Wednesday..." is the silver and gold star Pandora bead.  It's the last bead that I want for this bracelet.  I only have enough room for one more bead and maybe a spacer.  I've wanted this bead for quite awhile but it is one of the more expensive ones.  Hence the Christmas timing (hint hint Chris)  So here's a picture for your enjoyment!


So maybe I'll be getting this for Christmas and then I can start another Pandora bracelet!  I'm thinking of doing a Alabama football bracelet.  

Well you guys have a good night and I'll do my very best to keep this updated :)

I'm crazy, I know...

So I'm going to do something that I've tossed around doing for about 10 years or so.  I'm going to get my tongue split on Dec. 11th!  Yea I know I'm crazy!  We established that years ago haha.  I thought that I would keep track of the progress on here.  I've found the lack of experience and progress blogs/videos a little disappointing.  There will be some info that I have to be vague with to protect people.  Some state's laws are a still a little behind the times on modifications.

I started really thinking about getting this done back in the summer.  I contacted B, who also did my snowflake implant in my hand, to ask what I was looking at price wise.  He got back to me with a few details and a price that I definitely could work with.  I was still a little too nervous to go through with it at the time though.  Also we really didn't have to time.  I have to be able to talk for work and burlesque haha.  So a couple of weeks ago I found out he was going to be doing a guest spot in Ohio and contacted him about an appointment.  December is the ideal time!  The burlesque is on break and we aren't too busy at work.  So Chris and I will be driving up a week from this Saturday and it will be happening on Sunday at 5pm.

I'm so excited and sooo nervous all at the same time.  I know that everything will be fine and it won't be too painful (I hope).  I'm getting mine sutured on the insides to give a more rounded look.  I'm going to be surviving off soup for the first couple days.  I've got to see if I can have a protein shake each day.  If I can then I'll be good.  The only problem might be the dairy that's in it.  I don't know that it will interact well with the fresh split so we'll just have to see.

I'm including a picture so you can see what I hope mine will look like when all healed.  I don't know who the pic is of so if it's you let me know.




So if anyone has any questions hit me with them.  Please leave the rude comments at home though.  This is my decision and I'm fully happy with it.
