The Big Three-Eight


I started this blog to document my (odd) fear of turning 37. In less than a month, I will be 38. Did being 37 suck? Sometimes. Not a lot. I've had worse years, to tell the truth. Don't tell me that all of my angst was for nothing!

With thist post, I uploaded a picture of a bulletin board in my bedroom. It's getting crowded. It documents some of my best days/nights in my 37 years. I've added to it since this picture was taken, but looking at these photos every day reminds me of the fact that I have a wonderful life, full of good friends, close family, and happy memories. Now, I need to get out there and make more! Thank goodness I will not be 37 when I make them, cause really...I cannot wait to turn 38 and be done with being 37!!!! There really is something about the "7"s that freaks me out.....

Henna Fleur- de-Lis


Walking down Frenchman's Street in New Orleans, I finally found him.

Who, you may ask?

A man-an artist-who was freehanding henna tattoos. I sat down and in no time had a temporary fleur-de-lis on my back.

A conversation starter, I learned the next day.

It is hiding now under my t-shirt, but knowing it is there makes me smile.
