Ok, do you know how hilarious this would be from an outsider point of
view? An unschooling conference and a bunch of parents are planning
TATTOO night for crying out loud!!! I can just see the looks we'd get
at a traditional homeschooling conference.

When Jon finds a place, we might need to make appointments. Ask him to
book Sunday night, as I don't want to be in pain through the entire
conference.:)

July 2003. San Fransisco. La Leche League Interntaional Conference. 12
Leaders packed in a limo head to a tattoo parlor where 3 of them get marked
for life. The guy thought they were the coolest moms he'd ever met. :)
There was even show and tell where others in the group shared their tats and
piercings. A fun time was had by all.

ROFL, I was thinking the same thing!! Yesterday my mom (who will be
coming with Tristan and I to the conference) said that she wants me
take full advantage of being there...not feeling bad about going to
any/all presentations, heading out to dinner with a group, etc. She's
basically attending to hangout with Tristan.

I could just imagine the look on her face if I told her "Hey, we're
all heading out for tattoo night!" LOL I've told her the weekend will
be busy and FUN...but I don't think she'd be expecting something like
that. ;o)

Better yet say, "Hey, we're all heading out for tattoo night. Wanna come?"
You might get surprised. My mom is looking for the "right tattoo." She
knows where she wants it (on the arch of her foot - I personally think it
would hurt and heal slowly, but it's her tat, her foot). She just hasn't
found the right one yet. I already know what 2 tats I'm going to get ......
eventually. One is my mom's signature. She always signed all her letters
"OXOX, Mom" The other is a sparrow for my dad. But these are both "memorial
tats" and I obviously don't want them until my parents have passed away (I'm
hoping I will be a REALLY old fart by then LOL!) I almost got a hurricane
tattoo after I made it through Ivan alive, but decided I was going to wait
and do it for my 40th birthday. That came around and we were so busy that I
just never got around to it. Now I'm thinking that I still want to remember
that horrible experience in someway, but not sure if a hurricane symbol is
the right sign. Maybe I'll figure that out after this hurricane season LOL!
