So, I'm going this weekend up to Santa Fe, to take Beaut. Daughter No. 1 to visit Dawn Purnell, my tattoer there. I've been promising her for years to take her to get a cover up on a crappy tattoo she has on her shoulder.

This will be the first time I've seen Dawn since my back piece was finished, and I'm kinda nervous. Kinda embarrassed, since I gained weight back after it was finished. Which was part of the point of the tattoo, so --yeah. Kinda embarassed. NEVERTHELESS! I have embraced my phoenix and know that we are constantly reinventing ourselves. So. Still want to do tree imagery on my side. But -- don't think I'm ready yet.

Yes, I'm driving, and yes, me and Cicero plan to meet for a drink on Sat. night. Hope it works out, I'm so excited! We're probably also going to the International Folk Art Festival--it looks awesome, and it's something I'm very interested in.

We won't try to one-up Misses Dana and SG, but we hope to have a few pics for you.

Of Cicero--not me! :p
