I just got back from the Portland Pirates game. I'm beginning to think that I'm jinxing the team! The past 2 times I went they lost. Tonight they lost to Hartford 4-3. It was an exciting game as both teams were pretty evenly matched! This morning I took my boys to the "Skate for Kids" which was a 2 1/2 hour session (All proceeds went to the Barbara Bush Childrens Hospital at Maine Medical Center) It was the first time they had ever skated on ice! My 6 yo did wonderful and by the end of the session he was doing twirls on the ice! *grinning* He says " I think I fell like 39 times, Mom!" ( He learned how to get back up all by himself!) My 4 yo didn't do so well. I kept calling him "crazy legs" because he was all over the ice! We had a little accident as well. His skate got caught in mine during one of his "crazy leg" stunts and I ended up landing on my Lt patella. My knee is pretty swollen and it is getting difficult to bend it. So here I sit at my computer...knee elevated... on ice!

About my piercing...I went to get some new jewelry yesterday and while I was there I asked Randi about getting my VCH re-pierced.( I noticed it was migrating just before the new year, so I took it out *Grrr!*) She took a look "down below" and everything was healed up. We discussed the possibility of it rejecting again (which it very well could have) , and I decided to give it another go! Well...When she was positioning the receptor tube she couldn't get past the EXACT spot she had pierced before. ( She was trying to get past that particular spot so rejection might be slowed down by the scar tissue if it started rejecting again.) Anyway, I opted to go a different route. I got a HCH instead...err.... for a few different reasons:
1.) Chances of rejection of a VCH were greater because I couldn't get past the old scar tissue. I would be pierced in the exact same spot.
2) Apparently there is less chance of a HCH rejecting. You don't have gravity and weight of the metal pulling the piercing downward, essentially assisting the rejection process like a VCH does.
3) Different jewelery this time. 3/8 14g CBR.
4) I REALLY missed my VCH and I figured this would be the next best thing! Randi did tell me that the HCH piercing doesn't do much sensation wise for some people and it is often viewed as strictly ornamental. I figured I was Ok with that because I get really turned on just by looking at metal through skin. I am so happy that "strictly ornamental" doesn't apply to me. Her positioning was dead on! Mmmmhmmm!

As for pictures...
*ahem*
I might possibly be convinced to "show-and-tell..."
It really depends on how much you all beg!

I'm off to choke down a few more ibuprofin. Gray's Anatomy is on tonight. Then I'll be slithering off to B-E-D...ummm....that is, IF I don't fall asleep on the couch first! (I'm sooo tired!)
