Bonding with Jill

So you are gone...and I have no one to email with daily. Jill has stepped in. I emailed you just before you left about her asking me if I had a tattoo and where and what and when I got it and where I got it done. So I answered her back and highly recommended Tru at Ink Haven. She said that she was going to go someplace on Marshall St. in Syracuse that John felt comfortable with. So I sent her to investigate his website and told her about my whole experience. Being turned down the first time...being sent away very frustrated, only to soul search and come up with something I absolutely now LOVE.

We kind of went back and forth and she claims to have never seen my tattoo. I don't remember where we were the book club of Oct. 2006 where I would have shown it off. But I am betting that Jill was not there.

So she decided after seeing his website and hearing my testimony, that she would go to him for a consult. She wants a monarch butterfly. Something about her aunt. Anyway, she got stuck in traffic trying to get there on Tuesday only to be turned away because his consult time ran out. She was really set back. So she headed back today, getting there 15 minutes before they opened as I recommended.

She emailed me this afternoon and was successful at meeting with him. She has an appointment to be inked on August 4. She is very excited. I told her about my blog on the correlation between sex and tattoos. Then I found it, cut n pasted it and sent it to her. I told her she could wait till after her tattoo if she wanted to have her own opinion. She said she was going to wait to read it, but only could wait 3 hours before she caved and opened it.

I began to worry about sending it to her. Like, was it too personal? But she wrote back that she loved it and was printing it for John to read.

So this has been passing the time along while you have been away, too. Ebaying wallets, acclimating dogs, analyzing libraries and shopping here and there. It's all been great, but, can't wait for you to come home!!!
