Wild And Crazy!

Well today was an interesting, but fun day. I got my first ever Henna Tattoo! The 6 girl summer interns and myself ate lunch together in town and then we all got Henna done...this was their idea but it was fun! And contrary to some in my family that said, "Wow Charity this must be the craziest thing you've ever done!" No, it's not. Playing hide and seek in McClellan Hall late at night at Ouachita was, thankyouverymuch. Espcecially when we got caught and my roommate and certain other people left me to explain. You know who you are.

I walk on the wild side.




And no Mom, it's not permanent, only lasts about 8 days, or so they say! The sweet ladies that did this for us were super fast, mine was done in less than 5 minutes- not kidding! All 7 of us were out of there in 30 minutes! The lady that did mine was telling me all about it and she's been a Henna artist for 7 years. They mostly do Brides a few days before weddings and they will often do complete arms, hands and feet. This place we went to uses a safe, herbal henna and it took about 20 minutes to dry.

You never what we'll get up to in this city! :)

Hide and seek, huh? I was always too spooked in any of those buildings at night! = )

Ooh, pretty! It's becoming a trend to get one's belly hennaed during the latter months of pregnancy. But I was way too much of a wimp to do it.

Thanks for dinner! The Amersons brought us On the Border (a favorite!) tonight on behalf of you guys :)
Can you email me your address? I'd love to send you a thank you note and a picture of Koren.

Looks like you guys are having a great time!

Alicia said...

Seth and I got Henna tattoo's in Rome....probably not as guaranteeable to be so safe, though, looking back. LOL

Alicia said...

I see your toes now. Wow, I am blind!

5 minutes? That's amazing. I like it...and yes, I think that would probably be one of the *wildest* things I've ever done (if I ever do!). :)

I remember playing a game or two of hide and go seek McClellan Hall. Have not thought of that for a while.
