My Tattoo Adventure

So I started out bored on 01-20-2012, thinking I do want a tattoo I should draw one. So this is what I drew.

I texted Valerie and this is how that conversation went...
Me: Val what are you doing tomorrow?
Val: Nothing why?
Me: I am thinking about doing this and sent her the above picture.
Val: Hold on.
Me: Okay.
Val: You have an appointment tomorrow at 11:15 am.

And the whirlwind of getting a tattoo started.  Where to put it?  Will I do it? It was quite exciting. 

And of course my twitter family blew it up...love that. 

The hubs was excited and said he couldn't wait to see it.  And of course wanted to make sure that I was sure it was what I wanted.  (What a sweet guy.)

So the morning seemed to drag and after working for a bit I was on my way with Valerie to get my first ink. 
I love my sister...
So here is the process...

Picking the right spot...


Getting started...

Doing the outline...


Outline done...

Then the garnet...

And then the gold...

All DONE!! 

Whew I survived.  

Getting a tattoo was quite an adventure.  I was so blessed to be so supported.  I am glad that I love my tattoo and I am glad that my husband also loves the tattoo.  

The tattoo is two hearts.  One open to always give and receive love.  The cross in the middle to represent my faith.  The colors are representative of my golden Micah and my garnet Liberty.  (And of course to represent the best college football team ever Florida State.)

Why?

Why do most Gator fans always feel the need to rain on everyone else's parade?  (Note I said MOST!)  Seriously.  It gets a little old.  We get it you had a great run. Most schools do have a great run somewhere in their history.  Wow!!! I will celebrate my teams victories even if you did it first.  Get over yourselves. Believe me everyone knows at least one Gator fan who just doesn't get that you like the Seminoles (or whatever other team) and is always trying to convince you that you are stupid because of this. Plus, the only way to right your stupidity is to become a Gator fan.  I think not.  ERGH! I LOVE MY SEMINOLES!!  Don't ever forget that!!

Still Healing

Today I sat down to have lunch with fellow professionals. 5 women and 1 man. We all work in the child protective services. We were enjoying ourselves talking and getting to know each other a little better. One of these professionals says that she was born in New York. The one man at the table asks her exactly where and she said Manhattan. He tells her that he is from Brooklyn. Once this is said we all know what the next question is going to be...here are their stories. The guy from Brooklyn said he was at work and was sent home after the second tower was struck. He said the entire ride home the thing that stuck out to him the most was the deafening silence. In a city where it is never quiet he couldn't hear a bus, the subway, sirens, or voices. He said that as he drove people waved at him. "In NY if you look at someone too long it starts a fight and now people are waving at me." When he got home he went to the roof of his building where he watched the twin towers crumble...
