Accessorizing !

You won't see any pictures with this post... for fear of my life... but I HAVE to share this story! A DEAR friend of mine, who happens to be great at accessorizing, went one step further than normal this afternoon. I'm going to try to keep this as vague as possible so that the people involved will remain anonymous (her), and protected (me)! SO... this afternoon, my friend was chatting away on the phone when her child was trying to "pierce her ear" with a purple bead. Well, something went awry and the bead ended up wedged in my friend's ear! I'm not talking about wedged where you can grab it and pull it out, but WEDGED "IN" her ear!!!! :) I called to ask her a question amidst the chaos, and she asked for "Dr. Lawson's" help! :) When I showed up, her child was bouncing around as though nothing was happening, and my friend came out of the bathroom with a red ear... and from the looks of the bathroom as I walked in they had already been doing a little "surgery" with the tweezers and VACUUM CLEANER!! :) I got a flash light, and looked and looked, and NO PURPLE bead! She kept saying she could feel it right inside, so we gave the good old vacuum cleaner another try. Just picture it. I was sitting in the floor, she was hanging over me upside down, we were both pulling her ear as I wedged the vacuum cleaner so far on her ear it created a seamless suction!! :) She said she felt like it had moved, so we took another look (my sister-in-law Jamie was giving her assistance at this time... as Maclain stood at the door with my friend's mom and child giggling!) Okay... so I was the continued start of the giggles, BUT I COULDN'T HELP IT! Anyways... Jamie finally spotted the bead, and I caught a glimpse as well, so we tried the tweezers. I could hear, and feel when the tweezers would tap the bead, but it was wedged SO tightly, I couldn't get the tweezers around it! I then tried a bobby pin trying to just get under it and pop it out, but I think I was causing more pain that it was worth! :) SO... my friend who is quickly approaching her 30's as am I, is going to be heading to the Dr.... to get a PURPLE BEAD out of her ear!!! She HAS to hold the record for the oldest "kid" to get a bead stuck in the ear and end up in the Dr.'s office!!

SO... I'm thinking in true "accessorizing" form, she'll go for an outfit with purple tomorrow! :)

I LOVE YOU, "FRIEND"! :)
