Two days left. 2006, your on notice!!!!!

Hi Guys!!!!

My tat is done!! She looks great! When the whole thing is over with, I will have to post a pic of my back. With all details, faeries, and background pulled together, this back piece is gonna rock harder than anything you will ever see on Miami Ink.

Today, the second faeries was put on my back. She gorgeous! Well in my sick little world she is. My faeries are tattered and torn and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Next, the background images will be put on. A crooked and creepy New England tree will be added to include a peeping owl who will be sitting in side the tree, a stack of skulls , and of course, the ground. Maybe will throw in a couple of wilted rose petals. I wish I could show the designs so you can gather an idea of what will be pieced together. I'll work on that.

I also asked about covering one of my other tattoos. It was one I got while in AIT in AZ. It is a Western Midevel dragon who is sitting on a moon. It was cute at the time, but now it is hardly recognizeable. It needs an intervention. So, I am having it covered. A large dragon head ( W. Midevel) will cover it. The body of the dragon will wrap over the rest of my left hip, around my left side, and the tail will travel under my back tattoo and curl up to the right side of it. It will tie in beautifully. This guy at the tat shop is a thinker. I like him alot. So if you are ever in my neck of the woods an you won't some skin art, I will hook you up with this guy. I plan on getting the rest of my back done some time in late Feb. Right before I start Massage school since my evenings and Saturdays will be filled with class. The dragon I plan to start this summer around August. He will be done by this time next year. From there, who knows. I am open for ideas so send 'em.

So Hammerhead or the bathroom dude showed up today. He arrived shortly after I left to get my tat done. When I got back two hours later he and Hubby had gotten the cabinets for the bathroom wall. (We are having in-wall cabinets placed for more storage in the bathroom) It's the most work he has done in like a week and a half. They left 40 minutes ago to look at the sink/cabinet thing. There was some discrepancies about the size, whether it would fit, and if the hot water pipe has to be moved since the cabinet has drawers. Maybe they will come back before it gets dark. Doesn't matter. I'm typing and I will start me B-day cake after I'm done writing this entry.

Last night I started the third book in the Aisling Grey, Guardian series. I don't want to finish it because I don't know when the next will be out. This one, Light my Fire, is good. Real good. So far, I am 150 pages into it and I am in HEAVEN! After I finish this book, I will be starting one called Must Love Dragons, by Stephanie Rowe and then I Only Have Fangs for You, by Kathy Love. Both of these were recommended by Katie MacAlister who is the author of the Aisling Grey series so, I'm gonna go with that. Also a fellow Wiccan from work is bringing me the Nora Roberts' Circle series. She said I'd like it. I have time before Katie releases the next book so, sign me up. I also want to read some of Katie's other books.

Omigosh! So Hubby's back and he bought the sink cabinet-thingy. You know, the thing that WE were suppose to look at and get. Right. This is just so typical Hubby! He never lets me help make OUR decisions. It's like I'm just a fixture in this Goddamn house! Arrrrrrrrrr!!!! Breath Yokai. It's okay. Remember your Zen breathing. I don't think he even got the right color. But that's okay too. I'll just accept this. I need a drink. Anything but something named after a National tragedy. I got some Vodka in the fridge.

Hub's parents (another entry for the blog at another time) gave us a gift card for the resturant Pub 99. I hate that resturant. I hate the food, the service, the menu, the drinks, and the assholes who eat there. So maybe will have dinner there. Life is better through gin glasses. So maybe the food will taste better.

Anyway, I will say good evening,

Last year changed its seasons
subtly, stripped its sultry winds
for the reds of dying leaves, let
gelid drips of winter ice melt onto a
warming earth and urged the dormant
bulbs to brave the pain of spring.

We, loving above the whim of
time, did not notice.

Alone. I remember now.
