Vanity & Sin

Joy, Oh Joy!

Well it has been a few days, hasn't it? I spent the weekend with my mom and had such a blast! From shopping, to more shopping - and then tattoos! Yes, my mother got a tattoo...and once I figure out how to upload a pic onto this darn thing, I will be able to show the public that yes, my mom got her first tattoo. Why is this amazing? Considering that I have a very conservative father and a heavy metal hippie for a mom - it's about time she did something she wanted to do! We went out to tat ourselves in memory of my husband. No names, or epitaphs...just something to symbolize him...and yes, I got one too. Initially, we were going to get hummingbirds (and I still am) - but I really wanted an angel...and I found one, modified it and tattooed the biggie onto the middle of my back. It's beautiful and freaking sore...My mom got a hummingbird on her ankle with a yellow rose - it's so pretty!

So for all my 'vanity and sins' - I am still a rough around the edges broad who likes to tattoo myself. I am only up to 4, for the time being. We'll see what happens next!

My best buddy Dave is coming into town Thursday, so hopefully we'll behave..as best we can. He's been my Super Trooper for about a decade, and it's gonna be great to see him again. Its been almost 3 years - and I am looking forward to it like a crack addict about to get a paycheck. It's going to be fantabulous to see him, drink coffee, smoke cigs and brainstorm for hours about things that mean nothing and everything at the same time. Or at least do something stupid to laugh about for years to come - we've been working on a coffee 'date' for years! I am sure I will have tales and plenty of thoughts in the near future...

Until we meet again!
