I love it so much! I’m over the moon.
No photos. Not sure if I’m going to post any photos anywhere, because I don’t like the idea of it ending up on Pintrest. But let me tell you, it’s the kind of beautiful tattoo that people pin on Pintrest!
Hurt like hell though, way way way more than I remember the original. But the original was like 15 minutes and this was 4 1/2 hours. The pain doesn’t ease with time and I never got used to it. It gets worse as the artist has to manhandle the freshly tattooed areas. After 3 hours there were enough wide-spread broken skin that she could use the numbing spray. I honestly don’t think I could have made it all in one session without it. 2 months ago

My tattoo is in a little less than 2 weeks. Nervous as hell because it’s going to be fairly big and hard to reach to clean by myself and the boyfriend is out of town. 3 months ago
Stupidly, I just now realized that the problem might be my ears, not my speakers. 3 months ago
Must organize my music once and for all so itunes stops losing it and I don’t have to spend hours each month finding it again.
Perhaps move to cloud based system? 4 months ago
I can’t tell if this is never going to happen, or is done.

Read this one with some friends and had some incredibly meaningful thought and amazing conversations. I’ve thought about it every single day since. 6 months ago
I read about how Benjamin Franklin had a very similar scheme to this. I’m doing this again, using his format.
This is a vegetarian/mostly vegan week. Easy peasy because boyfriend is out of town. 7 months ago
What I want is not possible. She said “if someone tells you they can hide the old tattoo in the branches of the tree, you will end up with a shitty tattoo”. Reconsidering leaves. But now the artist has a 4 month waiting list again. Reconsidering artist choice. An artist with a reputation in cover-ups and a 4 month waiting list? Or other? there are plenty of highly talented artists in town. 8 months ago
I made my very first extra mortgage payment. Now only $48,500 underwater! Whoo de doo. 8 months ago
I have Eustachian tube disorder and my doctor says that a hearing is most definitely influenced by it. I have to wait until this situation is resolved before I can get a meaningful hearing test. 8 months ago

Walking = good
Standing = bad
And here I was avoiding walking. 8 months ago
So, I have this problem with my ears. Eustachian tube dysfunction. Inversions, including touching my toes, and sometimes just sleeping on my right side, make my ears fill with fluid. Currently trying out new allergy meds, but going on 2 weeks with no progress. Yoga is out indefinitely. 8 months ago
that yoga makes me feet worse, not better. 9 months ago

Amazing how things can be so outdated and yet so relevent.

Did not finish. Won’t bother.

Why don’t I do this all day every day.
Wait, you don’t need to tell me. My sore sitting bones, skinned elbow and dozens of bruises are reminding me. 11 months ago
I was really stoked on this latest studio. I’ve been wanting to go there for months because my fave teacher goes there.
Finally they had a groupon. And I went. I went to fave teacher’s class even… And no. This is not my place. They do hot-humid classes there. Even though the 2 classes I’ve taken so far were not officially hot-humid, the HVAC system just doesn’t keep up. Way too humid. Walking in the door just made my skin crawl.
Clammy yoga is not for me. Add in overpowering incense which makes me sneeze, and it’s no fun at all.
And to top it off, fave teacher is going out of town for a month and so I’m not likely to go to any more of his classes. I’m going to try to use up this 10-pass ASAP and find somewhere less sticky. 11 months ago
