Visit to Santa Fe

Cloud • Jul 11, 2008 11:08 am
So, I'm going this weekend up to Santa Fe, to take Beaut. Daughter No. 1 to visit Dawn Purnell, my tattoer there. I've been promising her for years to take her to get a cover up on a crappy tattoo she has on her shoulder.

This will be the first time I've seen Dawn since my back piece was finished, and I'm kinda nervous. Kinda embarrassed, since I gained weight back after it was finished. Which was part of the point of the tattoo, so --yeah. Kinda embarassed. NEVERTHELESS! I have embraced my phoenix and know that we are constantly reinventing ourselves. So. Still want to do tree imagery on my side. But -- don't think I'm ready yet.

Yes, I'm driving, and yes, me and Cicero plan to meet for a drink on Sat. night. Hope it works out, I'm so excited! We're probably also going to the International Folk Art Festival--it looks awesome, and it's something I'm very interested in.

We won't try to one-up Misses Dana and SG, but we hope to have a few pics for you.

Of Cicero--not me! :p
Cicero • Jul 11, 2008 12:34 pm
Oh no! I thought we were getting bigger drinks than Dana and SG?!?How about a pool size margarita? Where in the hell am I going to get a pool-size margarita?

You have to get in a photo with me! I still have to prove I'm not you clouder! If it doesn't happen, this will look like an elaborate plot to prove that I am not your puppet, or vice versa! Oh well.

Hold on to your hats! Clouders driving into my town! This makes me nervous. Sounds fun, yet dangerous.
:p

I'm bringing masks and sock puppets to confuse the masses!

Yes, that does sound confusing. And a little kinky. Woa! Freak!

I know you know it's apples and oranges.
It's a different place, different people and a completely different setting.

Have a wonderful time - can't wait to see the pics!
Cloud • Jul 11, 2008 1:10 pm
that will be me-with the bag over my head and the huge ass . . . beer.

:beer:
Cicero • Jul 12, 2008 7:28 pm
Oooh! I hope clouder shows up!! I'm so nervous! It's almost like a blind date! More like a blind, friend date! I'm also excited to see the difference in my internet perspective of people, and how they really are....How exciting!

I'm going to go see if Clouder shows up! Yea!!

I have to get ready!

Cloud, who hates conflict, and Cicero, who thrives on it. Good match. :D
monster • Jul 13, 2008 1:19 pm
What? Sunday afternoon and nothing? Pics, already.....!!!
bluecuracao • Jul 13, 2008 3:54 pm
It's only 2PM out west..they could still be sleeping it off!
Cloud • Jul 14, 2008 12:57 am
Made it home. Hope Cicero did! Had fun! More later.
Cicero • Jul 16, 2008 10:32 pm
:) OOhh...we have photos for you! Later!
zippyt • Jul 16, 2008 10:36 pm

Shawnee123 • Jul 17, 2008 9:13 am
Pic tease!

:)
Sundae • Jul 18, 2008 12:54 pm
At least write it up for us, even if the pics are to follow!
When was this trip again? 1997?
Cloud • Jul 18, 2008 4:16 pm
um . . .
TheMercenary • Jul 18, 2008 6:34 pm
How about it ladies. Love to hear the narrative, well the parts you can put on here anyway, you can pm me the nasty bits later. :D
xoxoxoBruce • Jul 19, 2008 12:08 am
It's a hoax.
Undertoad • Jul 19, 2008 9:10 am
Something went wrong, I just know it.
Cloud • Jul 22, 2008 1:32 pm
Everything's fine! I've not been feeling well, and haven't downloaded the pics. Cicero and I are coordinating which pics . . . or will be. Soon! Sorry!
Undertoad • Jul 22, 2008 4:34 pm
It is strange how some people find every photo of themselves to be unflattering.
Cloud • Jul 22, 2008 4:37 pm
not strange . . . when you're fat and ugly.

srsly
Undertoad • Jul 22, 2008 6:28 pm
But I do know, because in the new office building we've moved my company to, the elevator doors are mirrored. Great, I get to start every day feeling shitty about myself... and yet, still not motivated enough to take the stairs.
Cloud • Jul 22, 2008 6:32 pm
We're working on it!
Cicero • Jul 26, 2008 9:27 am
Looks like clouders sick......

I guess the visit went worse than I had thought.


I'm going to post a photo if she doesn't get on top of this soon. It's the one where we both look good...heh.
:)

We had a good time and drank and laughed at you all....bwuahahaaaa! Clouder is very pretty in person and has these gorgeous eyes! It is as I thought however, I am a bit more cockier than her, and outgoing. I didn't embarass her and call her "Clouder" even once! (I don't think, I hope not!)

I'll put up a full story with a photo if she doesn't get off her poor sick duff soon, to at least tell her side of the "story".
skysidhe • Jul 26, 2008 5:47 pm
Can't wait!


Get well soon cloud!
Cloud • Aug 10, 2008 1:47 pm
God, I am so crappy with pics. I'm sorry, guys, I'm still working on it, but here: proof!
Undertoad • Aug 10, 2008 2:06 pm
Most excellent - thanks!
Cicero • Aug 10, 2008 2:07 pm
Cellar gossip while Cicero smokes on the patio. Like a train! Choo choo! :p
:headshake lol!

Bout F'NN time you 2 !!!!
Clodfobble • Aug 10, 2008 3:39 pm
Cic, you have a surprising resemblance to staceyv, that I don't remember noticing in any of your earlier pictures. Thanks for sharing, ladies!
bluecuracao • Aug 10, 2008 5:08 pm
Great pics you guys!! Where in SF were you having drinks?

I'm a little homesick for New Mexico now.
glatt • Aug 10, 2008 5:16 pm
I was sure we would never see a picture. I'm happy to be wrong.
Cicero • Aug 10, 2008 5:22 pm
I didn't know I'd look like the joker in these photos. Dressed a little early for halloween this year I guess....:(

We are at "2nd street" blue! I had a fantastic time! :) Thanks clouder! I had fun!

;)
skysidhe • Aug 10, 2008 6:49 pm
Cloud you put yourself down so much I wasn't expecting to see such a beautiful normal looking woman. I mean it. You have a very attractive and warm appearance.

Cic, you look squirrly and fun just the same as here.
I think you both look like nice gals.
Elspode • Aug 11, 2008 1:59 pm
Lovely, both of you. Glad you had a good time.
jinx • Aug 11, 2008 2:00 pm
You look like sisters having a good time...
LabRat • Aug 11, 2008 2:31 pm
Awesome!!!
Cloud • Aug 11, 2008 8:41 pm
normal-looking--that's the key!
DucksNuts • Aug 11, 2008 9:27 pm
Woo Hoo

Good going ladies :D

Cloud - you do look lovely and ...err....younger than I thought :blush:
Cicero • Aug 12, 2008 11:26 pm
Yea. She's prettier than I thought, (Clouder) with all this internet cloak and dagger, I assumed she was ugly or something. Did I tell you how beautiful her eyes are? I have the perfect photo to demonstrate how very lovely Clouder is, I wonder if she'll let me post it?

Yes, normal "looking" is the key to getting away with stuff. :)

Sky called me squirrly looking.....Although true, I regret that she said that. Whatever. I had fun. No regrets. Not even about my looks.
skysidhe • Aug 13, 2008 12:55 pm
I am sorry cic.


No insult intended. I like who you are. You keep your smartness checked by humor. I like that!

I like squirrels. I was thinking of their behavior and not the dictionary definition which I had just looked at. No I wouldn't have used that word if I had known.:(

(edit)
ps. The your dictionary.com is insultive but the American Heritage[SIZE=-1]®[/SIZE] Dictionary of the English Language definition isn't so bad.


I'm sorry.
Cloud • Aug 13, 2008 5:40 pm
I'm really wondering just what I've said that led youall to believe I was a troglodyte or something.

Just a fairly normal, normally pretty, middle-aged woman on the heavy side.

Really.

Don't you guys ever look at the profile pics?

And Ms. Cic is very pretty!

1.) You have mentioned multiple grandchildren, so people are going to assume older rather than younger, and 2.) I maintain that your profile pic looks very different from your picture with Cicero.
DucksNuts • Aug 14, 2008 6:02 am
Your profile pic is very grandma-ish to me. You look fun and friendly in that pic, but if definitely doesnt show off your good looks :)
Cloud • Aug 14, 2008 10:10 am
but it shows off my septum piercing. which I don't have anymore.
Sundae • Aug 14, 2008 10:18 am
My opinion of your looks, Cloud, was based on the jokey comments you have made about yourself. It turns out they were very self-depracating, naughty girl.

How about a write up anyway?
Lovely to put faces to names but I'd like to get more of an impression of what you did and what you thought about eachother?

Want, want, want - that's me.
Cloud • Aug 14, 2008 1:54 pm
Obviously, Cicero and I are far more vain than you guys!

oh, write up. I can do that. This weekend! I'd like to post some pics about the Folk Art Festival, too.
