Wheeeee! The next 72 hours should prove very interesting. I leave for the Blissdom conference on Wednesday morning and will be home Sunday night. I'm a Community Leader in the Special Needs/Parenting group, and I've been assigned to facilitate some great sessions. I'm looking forward to seeing my friends, room sharing with one of the best friends a girl could ask for, and missing the hell out of my other best friend. Conferences are very important to me - not just for the networking and the knowledge, but mainly for the time with some of the nicest people I've ever met.
So, today, Sunday, and the next two days are chock a block full of prep work. Are you going to the conference? Let me know and we can be sure to connect.
I'm feeling pretty blah right now. I spend a great chunk of each day cooking, cleaning, folding clothes - and although there's value in that (or so I keep telling myself) - there's not a lot of excitement. Today, for example - I baked a chicken and smashed new potatoes for dinner, made cookies, 3 loaves of English Muffin bread, mini muffins and planned meals for while I will be away. Not a lot o'excitement there.
There is, however, the Christmas episode of Downton Abbey to enjoy tonight. Which I will. While I'm ironing. GAH.
PLEASE tell me you have something exciting on the horizon. Otherwise, I'm afraid all of us will soon doze off.
OH! Wait. I've got something. I want to get a tattoo - this saying. dodi li va'ani lo - Which is from Song of Songs, 2:16 - My beloved is mine and I am his. (Loosely) I am going to do it in the Hebrew, in script. BUT. I'm unsure where I want to get it. I've toyed with it in a heart shape on my shoulder, in script on my inner wrist, or on my side. I also plan to get a different tattoo of script on my shoulder that says M'aimer pour qui je suis - Love me for who I am. SO. Input?

You should do the Song of Songs quote in the Hebrew script - would be beautiful. But then that is just my nosy opinion. ;-)

I agree with Sharilyn - love the idea of the Song of Songs tattoo in Hebrew.

Songs tattoo maybe on your side near your heart - if that isn't too corny for you. The other tattoo in script on your shoulder would then stand out. Make sense?

I'm jealous of people with tattoos. Would love to have a couple but I'm too freakin' chicken!

Like the idea of the hebrew script! Hope you have a great time!

I like the Song of Songs script in Hebrew too and I especially like Addy's idea of having it on your side near your heart. Romantic, not corny! Have fun at blissdom! Our excitement: two funeral visitations in three days, one was five hours away. Tired.

Do you have a picture of what "My beloved is mine and I am his" looks like in Hebrew? I love that idea.

Love the tattoo ideas, go for it, will cheer u up a bit. I got two new , small script ones back in the fall. For our 20th wedding anniversary I had "more' in script done on my left foot. Silly but something hubs and I have alwasy said to each opther for 22 yrs, engraved in his wedding band. And "beso" ,Spanish for kiss,in script on my rib cage. Seems to be the new popular spot, and acutally not really painful there.
