Well, the grandparents can’t take the kids that weekend. Argh. It would have made life a little easier. Now I’ve just got to find a sitter for the day on Saturday, while my husband teaches. I’m still working on what design I should get for my tattoo. But I’m also debating on whether I should get a belly ring instead. What say you, my friends? ---

I second **AR**. Navel rings are _extremely_ sexy. ---

Oooh, belly rings… go for it, **Persephone**! I wish I still had mine. I got it done at [Andromeda](http://www.andromeda-nyc.com/andromed.htm). They were great. My best friend, who still has hers in, got it done there too. Now I wanna get something pierced… and I’m still looking for a good pic to describe my desired tattoo! ---

I am sorry to say that I might not be able to attend. ☹ I have all the time in the world, that isn’t a problem, but the following is a list of problems 1)My parents would forbid me to go 2)I could mereley tell them I am going back to school early (if I tell them it’s a fraternity thing, they’ll never know, but that, of course, requires lying to my parents.) 3) I would need to be back home the next weekend for an important event that Saturday (12.) And then leave that Sunday to go back to school for classes, that’s kind of a hassle. 4) Numbers 2 and 3 require me having a car by the 3rd or 4th of January, which might not happen. 5) No way in HELL would I let myself drive to/around NYC 6) I have no money for bus or train, though. 7) Again, the money issues comes up. I could not afford food/lodging/etc… Well, I think that’s about it. I’ll see what I can do, but don’t get your hopes up on seeing **bouv** anytime soon. ---
