Welcome to my April 2023 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

I’ve revealed my theme (My life in first drafts), but this year, instead of pretending there were ever plans, I am unashamedly blogging my theme letters on the fly.  So, here goes nothing!

So, without further ado, E is for Earrings.

I love earrings. Dangly earrings, hoop earrings, little tiny earrings. Love them all. But I never used to have pierced ears. I didn’t get my ears pierced until I was, well, I guess in my 30s.

I remember getting them done one day on a whim and then showing up to teach my class that day or the next day and regaling my class with my adventure in later in life ear piercing. I think they were in awe, or maybe just concerned that I would put a question on the exam about it.

I didn’t wear any of my fun earrings for over 18 months while we were in lockdown and then while my workplace was closed for in person work. Then for awhile after that while we were still wearing masks cause masks kept pulling my earrings out. I lost a couple of nice ones before I smartened up.

But then once we didn’t have to wear masks, I began showing off the danglies whenever I went to work or eventually to concerts.

Here are some of the earrings I’ve been wearing lately. Note that I have a lot of amazing earrings, some given to me by mom and dad, but a few months ago Oliver trashed my jewelry box and while I have since purchased a more Oliver-proof case, I have not taken the time to move everything over. While I was taking some pictures today I was going, wow I forgot about those, and those, and those. So I’m looking forward to changing things up in the next few weeks!

Guess I’m kind of a rebel too…although I do like using the “official” letters…
