The Treasure Hunt

Just a little news that really isn't news but I will pass it along anyway. I am now into a planned 96 hour liquid fast: but, I'm also wanting to see how long I can go beyond that set time? Of course this isn't a particular healthful fast as I'm not ruling out wine or beer... if it tastes good and it's liquid I will drink it :) This time I'm just wanting to see how many days I can keep this up.

I got in from Missy and Brian's a little while ago where I had been smoking a good cigar (Maker's Mark -- bourbon infused) and drinking a (Shock Top) chocolate beer... good stuff! BTW, smoking cigars during this fast is also allowed! So, I guess there really isn't anything healthy about this one at all? Perhaps this time I'm just wanting to test my willpower about staying away from solid foods :)

I open in a few hours and after I get off work this evening I am scheduled to (finally) get my next tattoo as I've been waiting for this particular day to have it done. If everything goes according to plan then sometime before midnight tonight I will be able to add another picture and this one will be of my anchor tattoo.

I hope any and all who reads this has a great day today!

You know... I have a confession to make: evidently I'm a "weenie" and I only pretend to be tough? I swear, this one HURT! HAHAHAHA I'm very glad it didn't take him long to do this one. The rose was nearly 3 hours and my beloved friend Virgil was about 2 & 1/2 hours. Tonight though... just a little more than 30 minutes. This one bled more too... so, I'm not sure if it was just the area that was more tender? But, I'm happy it's done. Okay, enough bellyaching: I have three pictures to upload for any who might like to see them :)

Once it heals completely it will look even better. The last picture I am in the bandage he placed on me after he was done and had taken the picture.





A long time ago someone taught me a word I now use and think of often... "bittersweet." All day today was like that for me :( I used my whistle many times today to mark certain passages of time... both so very, very wonderful and yet very, very sad :( I can explain it no better that that.

Well, on a lighter note I have a colonoscopy scheduled for Tuesday morning. HAHAHAHAHA That is true and maybe (after today) I'm not even kidding about it being on a "lighter note." The only thing I don't like is being put to sleep... I think it's because I feel like I have no control during that time. Besides, what if my doctor is queer and he takes certain "liberties" with me while I'm asleep? You never know... right :)

One more thing. I carried a picture with me tonight and asked Darin if I decide to have this tattoo done (over my heart) how long did he think it would take him to do it? He looked for a bit and said, "Maybe 6 hours?" OUCH! Oh well, when I make the decision to do it I will just have to 'man up' and once again pretend I'm tough :)

Well, I hope all who reads this has a very good night tonight!!!!!!!
