Should I Get A Nose Ring?

I’ve been joking that if we actually get a minivan, I’m going to get a nosering. Not the kind you picture on Ferdinand the Bull or a Mongolian Yak, but the simple diamond kind ala Kelly Clarkson. (I think that sentence might land me at the top of some really weird Google searches.)

Now, before my father-in-law starts freaking out, I don’t think I’ll really do it. But I have to say that I was considering it today...sort of.

Why? Well, we currently have a minivan in our garage. No, we haven’t bought it yet, we just saw one we liked, pulled out our Slim Jim and Voila - Minivan in the garage. Actually, the nice folks at our local Hyundai dealership let us borrow it for the day.

So, just to bring you into my world and the level of uncoolness that I’m currently feeling let’s recap my day/current stage in life:
1. Test drove a minivan...and I liked it.
2. I’m 4 months pregnant and in that wonderful stage of - “Clothing Purgatory” - pregnancy clothes don’t fit - my old clothes don’t fit.
3. Getting dressed and ready for the day consisted of putting on a jogging suit and putting my hair in a ponytail.
4. My excitement for the week is the fact that we have carpet cleaners coming tomorrow. Woot!
5. I have no idea what “Woot” actually means.

There you have it. I don’t know if this is a 1/3 life crisis or just a growing rebellion towards conformity or a natural response when faced with having to purchase a minivan. Whatever the reason, if you spot a pregnant 31 year old 1/2 Filipino mom driving a minivan and wearing a stick-on nose ring.....say woot (I won’t know you’re not using it properly.)
