I was awarded this prestigious Comment of the Week award from Joe at Club 166. Thank you so much for this awesome prize.

I am giving this award to Trish from Another Piece of the Puzzle. She has a six year old son with Autism. Trish is a regular writer for Five Minutes for Special Needs. She recently wrote about the difficulties of having professionals that help your child come in and out of your lives.

Last night Maizie and I went to see Mamma Mia. What a fun movie! Maizie was on the edge of her seat dancing throughout the film. I was moved to tears a few times and Maizie said she cried too. The coloring in the film was beautiful. Angelic lighting and beautiful blues throughout. Why do I live in Indiana when I could live on an island like that?

Interestingly enough I found myself slightly drooling over Pierce Brosnan. He was incredibly sexy in the film. I remember watching him in Matador and finding him captivating, but not hot. Half way through the film Maizie began asking me if we could buy the music to the movie. How could I say no? This was a soundtrack even I would enjoy listening too.

My hives are gone! Wahoo! That shot sure did the trick. Way worth the pain. Which brings me to my next subejct about something being worth the pain.

Before we saw the movie last night Maizie and I had to stop into New Republic so I could schedule a touch up.

Donny is a college friend and a talented artist. He gave me my first tattoo and is now working on a design I put together for Joe's tattoo. He will work with my rough outline and create an amazing tattoo for Joe. He is working on an idea for my next tattoo. I can't wait to see the finished work.

I went in a while back for a 'walk in' tattoo. It needs to be touched up badly. So, Donny is going to have to perfect it. There are a few aspects of it that are not pleasing. Sigh. That is what you get when you stray from your favorite artist.

Maizie watched a woman being tattooed for a few minutes. She said, "They are sewing that ink on there." Yup, that is about how it feels too. Gadz! Taking my young impressionable daughter to the tattoo parlor! I know. I know.

Maizie insists she will never get a tattoo. Her answer, "I never want a tattoo! My Mom has a tattoo and she is weird!"
