mid-life crises


Welcome to my new blog. Most likely you know me if you are visiting. If not, welcome!

I'll start the ball rolling by admitting to something: I finally capitulated to that little voice in my head that's been murmuring over the past 23 years and gotten a tattoo. Not a small one, as you may see. The outline is in place, and I'll update as further work is done. I must admit to being a bit sheepish about the expense ('cause it sure 'aint over) but I am very happy with it. I'm also a bit self-conscious at my new amped-up vanity about the whole thing. There's a bit too much flexing, and checking things out in a mirror, and lotion application for me not to feel like a bit of a poseur. Ah well... what the hell. My next three hour session is two days after my boy's 11th birthday. That comment sums it up as well as anything.

Dinner tonight? I've bought a decadent, massive chicken pot-pie from costco because it's gotta be easy due to karate wrangling. We'll add mixed salad greens with low-fat dressing and Hey Presto! Usually I actually MAKE dinner but tonight I'm copping out.

Welcome to my navel-gazing.

jeee=zus! once upon a time I was going to get Stravinsky's Dancing Bear theme tattooed on me somewhere, and chickened out thinking about the needles. Going full colour with that?

Hell, yes. I resolved to , er, "go big or go home". Sadly... I'm thinking about the next one, already.
