OK, so I see that I'm not all that exciting to anyone. Maybe no one will EVER read my blogs..owell, their loss, right? Well today's topic is another one special to me, but keeping with the same theme of course.
What about normal housewives who like abnormal hobbies? Well I happen to have one of these "strange" hobbies that most other Christian Conservative Stay at home Mom's are usually repulsed by. Yes, tattoo's. In fact I just added to my already existing tattoo today. But I'd like it said that I am not trashy. Not by any means. In fact most people don't even know I have tattoo's until I go swimming with them. I don't have Harley Davidson's scrawled on myself, I don't have a big Pirate ship across my back or anything. My tattoo is something that is important to me. The artwork is important to me. The meaning behind my specific tattoo is important to me. "Peace, Hope, and Love" are words that make up my tattoo...along with a Chinese symbol meaning "joy" and butterflies that are each different and are colored in my children's birthstone colors. There are two "igthus's" meaning that our home is built on Christ, and two stars that stand for my husband and I. Overall it has a very "Asian" feel to it, which has always appealed to me. So, am I again grouped into a "genre" of people? Yup, I am. So again...I don't really fit in with the group that I should fit in with...you know who I'm talking about...those stay-at-home mommies...and working mom's think that I am wasting my life away by staying at home (according to a Washington Post reporter who is an avid feminist) oh, and the tattoo people don't really accept me either because my tattoo has a "Christian" theme to it...oh and the church people don't really condone tattoo's! So again...exactly who am I? Will I ever know? Not today.

Well, Sarah... all I can say is this: must we all be defined by categories? Why must we feel the need to limit ourselves to such strict boundaries? I learned this long ago... if you take away the boundaries, if you call yourself YOU and not them... it makes everything just a bit easier. Your not limited by society that way. Because if it all comes down to it, does any one human fit into one category perfectly?
