I'm going to try it

Look at this cute dress! Isn't it adorable? My MIL and SIL gave me my birthday presents early this year and this was one of my gifts. I'm always up for cute new clothes.

Here are the earrings that go with it. They are just as cute and match the dress perfectly. And though they may not look that big to any normal earring-wearer, when I put them on, I feel like they are as big as my head.

That's because the ones I wear every day are tiny silver balls. Every time I put on big earrings, I take them off within minutes because I feel like I look goofy.

I feel safe with tiny earrings.

(My daughter saw my gifts before I did, and she told them that I was going to freak when I saw how big those earrings were. She was right.)

But this weekend I will be celebrating my birthday with some friends while I listen to my brother's band for the first time live. (I have the cd, I've met the band, but I've never heard them live.) I am very excited about it!

So I have to wear my new dress, and I promised everybody I would wear the earrings.

And if all goes well, I will even wear the other pair they bought me that goes with another fancy shirt, when my mom and aunt come to visit in a few weeks and we have a girls night out.
