I wore my rubber boots today! Thunderstorms have been rolling in and out, and I decided to do errands in the pouring rain - HEB, Walgreens, the post office.  It took me so long to wear them because they are too tight, so now I'm handing them down...but it's fun to take big steps into puddles.

One of the errands I did was another crazy thing that has taken forever for me to do...get film developed from pictures I took in 2002! - had no idea what pictures were on them, but they were pictures of my dad and grandpa before he passed away, my friends (the fab 5) from my first and only rave, and my dorm room complete with my Deftones and System of a Down posters.

As you can see, this post is marked with an * because I technically did not get a Henna tattoo.  Instead, I got a REAL tattoo!

A phoenix

There are multiple meanings.  I won't go into too much detail or mushy stuff, but it is mostly related to my fiancee, best friend, and love of my life, Eric. 

Other slightly less substantial reasons:
-Our high school mascot is the phoenix....ten year reunion anyone?
-Phoenix tears have healing powers, which somewhat relates to being a doctor
-Profound meaning of the cycle of death and rebirth from the ashes - the circle of life kind of thing is beautiful

Meanwhile, I will still try to get a Henna tattoo.   I have a few really good Indian friends who I am counting on to invite me to their wedding.  Maybe at that point, it will be appropriate to get a Henna tattoo.
