A Rainy Afternoon Cup





Sipping an afternoon cup of tea and discussing tattoos...

Okay. Not JUST tattoos.

And what is it about passing 50 and leopard print anyway?

It started innocently enough...on eBay looking for deep cocoa brown satin pajamas...when these popped up from Victoria's Secret.


And yes...now I own them. They are by far the silkiest...most amazing pajamas...ever. They are pajamas to take a day...read a book...and sip tea in.

 But leopard print is insidious. It's like "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" for grown-ups.

Then, you have to have the matching Scrunchie. And, who knew, how many variations on a theme of leopard print there actually were? The next thing you know you are looking at your newly gold polished nails and reaching for the leftover black polish from Halloween thinking

                  "...hell I saw this on Pintrest...how hard could it be...". 



                                                     Totally nailed it.

Until, at last you are looking at things like this...



...and this.

And talking to your son's tattoo artist...


                              

                                    Seriously, what is it about leopard print?
