I'm FREE!



My working life is officially over for now. Long story short -- they basically told me I didn't need to come in anymore and they would pay me through the week. FINE-O.

So, yesterday I had my first official day of FREEDOM!!!!

I felt the need to do a little Etsy .. so I listed some newbies. But then ... I went out.

I drove around looking for something to do and saw the tattoo parlor -- so I got a tattoo! I was originally planning on setting up an appointment for this bigger piece I want to get, but I also said I wanted to get a smaller one, too. So, we went ahead and did the smaller one!

It's a little hello kitty head on my back/hip. (don't laugh!!) It's totally cute. The tattoo guy said "Kitty what?" when I asked if he was familiar with hello kitty. hehehee

Anyways, today I'm trying to get sort of organized and into the swing of things .. plus beefing up my vintage shop! Eee!

ALSO- bought a book!! I went to the bookstore with some of your all's suggestions .. but saw "The Swan Thieves" by Elizabeth Kostova when I first walked in and HAD to get it!

She also wrote "The Historian" which I looooovvveed. So, I figured this was a pretty safe bet.

Phew!!! OK. Back to business. :)
