Well survived the day ...me and the girls just goofed off and after awhile I for got the tons of work
waiting for me at home ... before we left I made up my mind on my gift ...should have thought to pick
up a new USB cable ...and I am also going to need to find that tattoo thread we have laying around
here somewhere
when we got home Bo was here ...I cooked and we ate and then the girls brought out the cake ...
Bo is like what is going on and I tell him it is my Birthday and he argues ... I just told him I am old enough
to change it if I wanted to and did ... it had a big 2 candle and he still didn't get it ... so we go on with
proceedings ...
the girls sing happy unbirthday to me ... I blow out the candle and then demand presents ... Bo was handed
a gift to give me since he forgot it was my birthday and forgot a gift
... he gave me a TY Buddy that is a
koala bear named Outback ... very nice of him and I predict Sarah ends up with it ...
then Hannah gives me a big bolster pillow to add to my collection of assorted shapes and sizes of pillows ... this
one has a micro fiber cover and is about a foot around at ends and about 4 feet long ...
then Sarah gives me her gift ...it is a dress with spaghetti straps ... I go oh how nice and say I am going to go try
it on ... I dash back to bedroom and put it on ... I come back to table and ask Bo how it looks ...he says it looks good ...
I tell him to watch how it flares when I spin (spinning was not a good idea...should have just turned) ... so I spin and
stop face to face with him wobbling a little and he is really red , almost purple but smiling and said you got the tattoo ...
I think he is recovered but we surprised him for sure ... he didn't think I would ...I have tried to get him to go with
me and he wouldn't and even though he said he didn't care if I did I wasn't sure how he felt
I got the picture that my then not quite 5 year old , now almost ten year old , drew that is my avatar picture... it is
about and inch and a half wide by 2 inches tall ...on my right arm just down from shoulder ... I had shrank it form
the copy paper size down to what I wanted and took it along with the full size drawing with us ... the guy looked
at it and said there had to be a story and so we told him ... he said it looked kind of dark when he first saw it but
understood for me it wasn't ... that a 5 year old drew that and told me it was me with a headache and did the
drawing 4 months before the tumor was found still amazes me ... she didn't know I had the tumor until about
2 weeks before eviction
Now let me tell you about my tattoo guy ... he was young enough to be one of my sons (around 25-30)... he
had the greatest accent ... he was born in in Yorkshire ... home of the James Harriot of All Creatures Great and Small
fame who as a 3rd grader I wanted to marry ... and he was cute to boot ... and my girls noticed
...Sarah oohed
and ahhed over him all day after we left ..they don't need to grow up so fast ... after reveal to Bo she informed him
that the tattoo artist was young and really cute ... and mom even said so ... his name is Matt
he was so nice ... showed me all the equipment and what things did what ... he showed me the factory seal single
use needles and said without them he would be out of business due to infections ... he made several transfers and
played with placement ... and then asked a million times if I was sure ... he was so sweet ... he told me he would
take his time and be gentle with me since it was my first time and I almost started laughing ... it just sounded funny
when he said it ... the tattooing didn't hurt much at all ... not nearly as bad as the fire ant that bit me a day or two ago ....
before we got there the girls were asking what if the people were creepy dirty, didn't have teeth and the bosses
name was Bubba...my kids are crazy ...they couldn't believe how clean and tidy the place was and that even with alot of
tattoos Matt was a clean cut guy ... neat trimmed hair , nice casual clothes , clean hands and appeared to have
all his teeth ... don't know where they are getting their ideas of what a tattoo artist looks like but going to have
to check in on it
it is almost 1 in the morning ... and this tattooed lady needs to go to sleep but have a bit of a rush going on ... something
funny happened ... since deciding a while back this drawing was going on my body somewhere at some point in time
told oldest daughter to design me something and it would go on too ...she hasn't got it down yet... but about 10 minutes
after he was done I was thinking I was ready for another
... if Hannah had her design ready I would have went back
and got it too
Good Night ... this party girl has gotta catch some ZZZZZZZZZZZZ s
PS... this was not an impulse ... been thinking about it for occasionally for 5 years and seriously for last few months ...
happy with my choice
