Super-talented Mary (aka: the gifted woman who guided me through sewing the curtains on the front door) painted henna on my belly during our weekly unicycle potluck dinner Sunday night. Awesome fun!

About Cold Spaghetti
Untitled Document You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

Holly, Hey. Its Gwen’s friend Caroline. I am dying to know if it tickled. I am EXTREMELY ticklish the thought of sitting there while she painted makes me giggle. 🙂
It looks great!

It was great — I love henna and it was super fun to watch. It was also fun to get to sit still and not be expected to move for awhile! Because my belly is so darn big, I could only see a small stretch of the top and had no idea what it looked like until I saw a mirror after we were done.
No tickles at all — I promise! Although it was fun to watch the Baby react to Mary’s hand. Lots of rolling around and kicking…!
