She's back from London and had a wonderful trip, despite things blowing up.
She had a wonderful two weeks in London, saw many of the sights although she and her boyfriend were shooed away from Buckingham Palace because of a bomb threat. Unfortunately her boyfriend broke up with her on the last day because a long distance relationship just wasn't going to work, so she was a little bummed out when she got home.
I wasn't.
So of course, less than 24 hours after making me happy by coming home, and coming home single, she goes out and gets a tattoo and her eyebrow pierced.
I'm so proud. This is my oldest duaghter but she's still my baby girl, the one who looked like Cindy Lou Who who was no more than two.
Well, Cindy Lou has a whole new look, one that Tim Burton would approve of I'm sure.
I don't know what it is with kids today wanting to stick pieces of metal into places I shudder to think about; I suppose I should consider myself lucky that it's her eyebrow and not someplace much worse.
Yee Gods!
The tattoo?
Oh, that. It's a small one; on the inside of her right wrist. It's her sign, written in script. She and her friend had them done at the same time.
To be fair, while I was in the Navy, I considered getting a tattoo several times; I just couldn't find a design I wanted to look at for the rest of my life Sure, the naked chick on the bicep looks great when you're 18, but when you're 67, and that bicep sags, so does she.
Ah well, she's 18 and her own person, and I'll eventually be able to look her in the eye without wincing.

You got to love em.
Did I tell you my current 18 year old got a full honors scholarship to ETSU. I hope she can stick with it.
See yea later.
