A long time ago, my sister and I discussed getting a tattoo. Together. Perhaps 3 years ago now. I keep putting it off, saying I want to “lose weight” first – my sister being a skeleton, and me being slightly more “curvy,” shall we say. But I’ve been putting her off for 3 years. She found a design, which I like (although our plan is to thin it out a bit, make it a little wispier than pictured). She’s getting it within the month, no matter what. I’m about 85% certain that I’m going to join her.

She is getting it at the base of her neck. I believe I will get it on my left shoulder blade. I don’t like the run-of-the-mill base of the neck place as much, and I don’t want it to show at inappropriate times. She is getting dark green ink. I am not sure what color ink I will get. i am sure either green or black.

That is one of the things I will do while in California next month. Another will be holding my friend’s 3 month old baby. Another will be coordinating with my kids’ friends’ parents so that my kids get to see all their friends. Another will be eating at Pho 84 (see previous post). For their very delicious eggplant chicken with fish sauce, onions, and so very much black pepper. We will also shop at our favorite kids’ consignment shop, Laura’s Closet, where my kids are often able to dress themselves like the hippy-children they are for a very low cost.

I want to get a tattoo once Gabo is weaned to celebrate that rite of passage. I will miss that bond.

I am much more chicken than you. Mine will be in a place that virtually no one will see it. I don't want to wear a sun dress and have it seen by everyone.
