I'm sad that I won't get to see the bean as small as he is in that icon. I LOOOOOVE that age. They're so soft and smooshy then!

Say, what's the likelyhood of that artist kid of yourn hooking me up with a tattoo while I'm there? What if I give her total artistic liberty to do whatever she wants? Like-on a calf or upper thigh or something? I'm talking maybe 3-4 inches square, no bigger (and not necessarily that big). What will the cost be like?

Crap, she won't be nearly done with school. She's gonna be in town in April, but gone by May. School finishes in November or thereabouts. I think she'll learn about pricing then. Man I wish I had any of her art to post, its sooo cool. Biased? Yes.

If you take many trips out of state, we should see where she's gonna be next time you're in a travellin' mode. Personally, I think she should put up a website asap with flash and examples of actual work so she can build a clientelle.

Aww dang.
My tat lady said that there is some site you can join that's just a big networking site for tattoo artists. I'll get that info on Sunday (if I remember).
They have listings of shops everywhere that take guest artists so she can travel and be a guest artist at shops wherever she ends up. My tat lady is going to NC for a wedding but she's also guesting at a shop, so she's able to write it off as a business trip!!

As long as I live my children will be free to dance awkwardly, sing off key, draw stick figures and dangle participles in run-on sentences describing hackneyed scenes as long as its what they love.

Awwww... thats awesome. If I dwell on this post too much, I might cry!

When he was 8 years old, my oldest had nightmares that woke him regularly. I finally got him to tell me what they were about. "I had to grow up and leave and I didn't want to." Whoa. I informed him that he would grow up but that he didn't ever have to leave. I then told him he would WANT to leave, and that would be okay, too, but since he had a long time until that happened, it was okay to not think too much about it and to just be a little boy for awhile longer. A couple of talks like that and the nightmares went away. I wonder who told him he had to leave home...probably the same idjit that told him he was going to hell for cheating at a game (which he did not do; his disability makes it almost impossible for him to lie because lying is wrong, though I expect by the time he's a teen he will have figured out how to do it without ruining his paradigm...). Ah, the drawbacks of living in the third notch on the Bible Belt. It was sort of fun explaining that many people, including me, don't believe in hell. I didn't tell him ( ... )

Why do we make our kids so neurotic? Like growing up isn't traumatic enough...
