My elderly father, always against tats. Finally, I revealed mine and he continues to be mystified by them. Back in the day, he would have beat me, disowned me and berated me constantly about them. Now, he just looks in wonder. But it brings to mind all the things that people hide away inside, their little sins, their errors. In the course of taking over his ~life~ because he could no longer do it himself, I discovered many things about my dad, some of which I suspected, some things new and heart breaking. Not for me but for my mother. If she knew or suspected, she never said. That was the way of that era. So I got tattoos, big deal. marks me as a sinner? Big deal there, too. So what!? I am not ashamed to say I am a sinner and here are the marks of my deeds. These images are mine, they 'mean' to ME, they to not 'mean'to anyone else. Well maybe one or two people whose names are on me...so to me they are a part of my journey through life, Can't go back and change it - or remove the presence of the ink either. Well, you can, but you get my meaning.
Heavy sign. intarnetz is sick today, so slow. Digital Bridge, great company. I'm rural and in a fringe area, so I cut them the slack. But its a great product. Even if it makes me crazy because I haven't been able to update my blogs n tweets like I want to.
Guess I'll clean house for my memorial day bash on Sunday. Friend is having baby #2, so we're giving her a SPRINKLE! No shower, just a sprinkle!
Yesterday was my 50th birthday. My friend Pam calls, and wants to take me out. But first, we're gonna stop and pick up Gay so she can go too. Gay happens to be at Pizza King for a grad party, so we're gonna swing in and get her. Do I suspect anything? NooOOOooOOoOOooo! and walk RIGHT INTO a full on surpriiiiiise party! Holy Moly am I gullible or WHAT?
Yeah yeah, or what is the right answer...that was May, this is July so maybe I'll actually get the pix from her to post.
