@jesusthepsychic - asked, "Hey CatInMist! Lovely profile picture. Do you have any tattoos to show us (like Blythe)?"

No, I do not have any tattoos.  I have never found any image that I liked enough to permanently stain into my skin. 

Blythe and Sweets, on the other hand seem to frequently find many images they want around forever. 

Blythe has many tattoos.  I may not remember them all.  The koi pond scene is the largest one, thus far, she has some gray scale scenes on her upper right arm that look like Dante's hell dipictations, she has an ICP hatchet boy silhouette running on her knee, Rosie the Riveter on one leg, a colorful fairy that is struggling to separate herself from a plant on another shin. On the calf of either leg, she has two scary looking clowns trying to rip their way out of her legs.  She has, her first tattoo, a little star on her chest.  And she has another gray scale portrait of a woman facing despair, which I designed myself when she was three years old.  I drew it when I was facing some pretty hard times and it symbolized my determination to rise above myself, but for her it symbolizes her survival of Hurricane Katrina.

Sweets has five tattoos, a Celtic wrist band, a large ornate cross on her back, a scroll piece on her lower back, and two Chinese words on the tops of either foot, which hopefully do not say anything that she did not intend.   She is waiting for me to design her next tattoo and I am waiting for the mood to strike me to get it done.

Maybe I will start on that today, on this holiday, which I am hoping will not bring me more work to do at my job.  I am also hoping to get around to visit some of my Xanga kin.

Happy 4th of July, and a wish for Freedom to you all.

Most of you know Sweets, whose beauty shines brighter with the happiness she is finding more and more each day.  And Timiko, my son's girl-friend, who calls me mom and also shines in beauty that is within and without.

 Still Alive and Kicking

I have been very busy with work and running the house lately, but I thought I would post some quick pictures.

My Dawg rode out to California on a ten day ride in May.  He said he wanted to ride out there, piss in the Pacific Ocean and then just ride back home again.

He camped out in the desert.

San Diego Trip 032  

Rode for 12 hours a day.

San Diego Trip 012  

He will tell you that he had a tooth knocked out by a Mexican, who defending his woman's honor because Dawg was flirting with her, but it was probably the just vibration of the bike that caused him to have to make an unexpected stop at the dentist in El Paso. 

He said, you should have seen the big eyed look  on those little girls' faces when he came thumping  in that office,  leathered up, with his chains and all grimey from the road trip.  He said, he stepped in their office, stopped at their looks, held up his hands and told them he wasn't going to hurt them because all he needed was for someone to look at the crown that had come loose while he was riding.

Finally, time to pee.

He also stopped by the Grand Canyon on his way home. 

I will share more pics later.

Me?
