Are you a Feminist struggling to make sense of domestic life?

One new thing

I have often said over the past few months that I feel very constricted by my current life. After talking with Emily, it became clear that part of this may be how conservatively I present myself. How weird.

Anyway, she challenged me to try one new thing everyday for a month, even if it is small. I'm going to give it a try.

Today's new thing was wearing earrings for no "reason". I've had pierced ears since two weeks before my 7th birthday, as I convinced my mother I should be able to wear new earrings for my party without sore ears. However, in my post-adolescent life, I rarely decorate myself with jewelry. I went to my favorite little shop after class, picked up some a neat little sterling silver pair, and only had to tell my son "No" about them once.

Even my husband noticed. :)
