Today is the first time I am celebrating my Name Day. I am aware of St. Joseph’s Name Day because that is a big celebration in the Italian culture, but people with other names never seem to have a feast or celebration in honour of their names and I would like to change that. What in carnation is a Name Day? Name days are a tradition in some cultures of attaching personal names to each day of the year, and celebrating the association of particular days with those for whom that day is named. This is common in many parts of Europe where where parents name children after saints, perhaps in the hope that the saint will offer protection to the child.

How do I celebrate. I am celebrating today by getting an airbrush tattoo. I thought I would shock you all by saying that I got a tattoo and posting a photo of it ;-), but I do promise to post a photo. Honestly, I got the tattoo to support some fund raising initiatives at work Where is the tattoo? On my right ankle. What is the tattoo? A fairy. Why a fairy? She has wings. I want wings. What colour? Black…there were no choices. How long will it last? I hope long enough for you to see it.

I will celebrate by going for an Indian buffet with my friends. There will be two Diana’s in the group, so we will have double the celebration!
