I went out to help H clear the snow for a bit. It was so cold I didn't stay out long at all. I helped some though. I think we have at least a foot if not a foot and a half. It was up to my knees. I remember early summer thinking I would not have to help H clear the snow this winter since I would be inside with a baby. I think I deserve a glass of wine now...
When I went on the roof to help shovel with H I had the same thought Hugs peaseblossom55 .
I'm on my 2nd bourbon on the rocks. If you have a glass of wine you're not alone in the world
This tattoo talk reminded me! I really want a tattoo connected to my loss. Our local radio station has this old dude who does a little segment early in the morning about the constellations and astrology/astronomy. I remember around the time we found out about the pregnancy he went on a long time about Orion and something unique about the way he was rising into the sky. Around the time of the loss he said something about Orion again. I've pored over the transcripts of the show and can't find the ones I heard, so who knows whether or not he was really talking about Orion or some other constellation. Either way I've created a strong association of Orion with my angel babe. When I see Orion in the sky I absolutely love it and it makes me feel so good.
And thought maybe I could do a subtle tattoo of the constellation, sans lines. Just the stars. It would look just like moles/freckles probably, but I would know what it meant so whatever.
I love this idea, but again, wouldn't necessarily want the lines (I know that's not Orion in the pic)
I'm making chicken enchiladas for dinner; the very same recipe that was the first meal I ever cooked for DH. I haven't made them in quite a while, but I'm looking forward to them. Yum. Here is the recipe if anyone wants it. Easy and delish.

mosdub that is so pretty. H has wanted to get a tattoo for Anneliese and I've started to want one too, I think we are both stuck on what to get and how to honor her. I love your idea.

I think when you see the right design you'll know.

I think so too. I've mostly been thinking about doing her name DOB and her footprints, then it comes down to where to put the tattoo also.
I've already decided that if our foster sons end up returning home to their bio parents then I will get some type of tattoo for them, symbolizing that they will "always be with me" in my heart. I'm thinking something with birds or I might incorporate something into my other tattoo idea that I've had for a while.
Hi ladies! Snowed in here. I had a meeting this morning and now I'm home, laying in bed and watching Kardashian reruns. I'm debating wine because....Saturday...and snowed in.
I thank God for the foresight we had moving this summer to our new place, because on the corner is a liquor store to walk to in these situations. Sorry you're in a bind about getting wine, they should invent a way for it to appear in your house on command.
I have one tattoo and it was one of the last things I did with stepdad #1 before he passed away. The writing looks awful (barely readable) now, but I don't want to remove it because of him. I don't know if I could handle another one or not.

BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
All this talk of snow, I'm jealous. I'm in Colorado, and it's so warm today I raked our huge lawn, and got a sunburn. To be honest, I'd rather have the snow...
Plus side, I burned all my calories, took all my steps and made all my miles by noon today. To sidetrack that, I'm making cinnamon rolls.
Yes! It's so crazy in CT! I was in Hartford all morning, where it wasn't snowing and then drove home to new haven where it's a blizzard and roads are treacherous.
That is crazy! I'm glad you make it home okay! I'm in Enfield and there has been nothing but a few flurries. I'm not complaining, mind you.
We're currently in Monroe at my in-laws (while we renovate), this morning at 7am when we left to go to the RE there was nothing going from here to Fairfield, but as soon as we hit exit 42 on the Merritt there was about 6" already there through Norwalk. Now back in Monroe we definitely have a good foot +
Please DNQ because maybe I'll actually do this and I don't know if I want the pic floating around
Made a little sketchy-poo. Not 100% on placement, but maybe upper arm? Also not 100% on the art. I've never gotten a tattoo and it feels like a big commitment to make. Can't take credit for the lovely lady- it's actually a copy of one of Alphonse Mucha's pieces. I adore his style. The woman/flowers are from one of his pieces called "Primrose" which is another significant symbol I have connected to my loss. I could explain but don't want to bring the board down. Any criticism is welcome! I mean, it could end up on my body forever so.... don't be shy Right now I like it a lot but I might need to put it in a drawer and look at it again in a few months.
eta: I apparently can't figure out images without tinyurl/tinypic...brb. eta2: here it is! contained in spoiler because it's huge. sorry.
All this talk of tattoos makes me want one (don't currently have any). I've always wanted one below my armpit on my rib cage area.
In related news, my very conservative, old school polish MIL went with her sister in law to get their eyebrows done at a salon on Friday. They were going on the recommendation of their friend who said that its makeup but lasts a long time. You guys it's a tattoo. My MIL got eyebrow tats and she had no idea that's what it was until she asked us why they used a needle and it hurt.
Crap I forgot to rub off the masking fluid on the bottom so just pretend the stars in the bottom are actually white and not some weird green color.
H thinks the top looks unfinished and I agree. Maybe all it needs is more stars? But I also thought maybe a moon in that part would be nice. H and I got married on a full moon (not on purpose, just how it worked out) so I thought that would be a nice touch.
