Snoopy and Purple!

This has been an adventurous 10 days for me!  According to my uncle, I have sort of gotten myself ‘stuck’ in a rut, and I have decided to climb out.  So, step one and step two, accomplished!  And even a pre-step before that! My first big step was that after 10 years of longer hair, I got my hair cut, about shoulder length.  I really like it shorter, and the style is much easier.  Whew.  On the right track!  For even longer than that, however, I have been ‘threatening’ to get a Snoopy tattoo.  Just a very small one, I said.  On the back of my left shoulder, about quarter-sized. 

Well, Nathan has been getting a few tattoos, and finally called me one afternoon and informed me that the appointment was made, the tattoo was paid for, and the two of us were both getting Snoopys!  My part in this part of the adventure was to pick out the Snoopy picture I wanted and print it out.  He’d send it – along with his picture choice, to Johnny at Unique Ink in Greensburg, and we’d be all set.  I picked a simple, Snoopy-hugging-Woodstock picture, and fifteen minutes after arriving, Snoopy – about 2 inches tall – was tattooed on the inside of my right ankle.  I figured if I was going to all that pain and trouble, I wanted to be able to see him! 

For 10 days I gave Snoopy a soft-soap bath and rubbed him gently with a clear cream.  He and Woodstock are happy and healthy – and it was not as uncomfortable as I expected.  I’d much rather get a simple tattoo than go to the dentist (Sorry, Dr. Lane!).  Too bad that’s not a life choice.  Nate got a Harry Potter Snoopy on his left bicep.  Both Snoopys are doing well….  

Tonight after work I stopped at Julie’s Hair Salon and got the purple stripe put back in my hair.  So, I’m all set.  I have a class reunion-picnic on Sunday, and I feel pretty confident about that!  My only concern is, what adventure will I find and conquer next????  🙂
