Weekend Mini-Blog

     New ink is DONE!! Looks killer!! Took just over 4 hours and my artist did a great job. I showed her the drawing my friend Matt did for me and she really liked it!! This will be number 11 & 12 actually :-) I told her about my idea to mirror the image and told her she could do more cherry blossoms to bring the entire piece together. She kept the drawing which is fine since I can print out another and Matt is going to send me the original which I am framing and hanging up in my craft room next to the cross stitch fairy a lady from my old job made for me. These are treasures that have no price-tag. As for my newest tattoo, the lotus blossom, it stands for strength. The lotus will grow and bloom in the murkiest of waters. That's the strength I need to keep me on my fitness path. I can and WILL be strong.  Thing is yesterday, I was supposed to have a 5:30 appointment. I woke up late since I had not slept to find a message on facebook asking me if I could be there at 1:30. I jumped into the shower and left. No breakfast, coffee, nothing!! Now they tell you you should eat when you get ink because you can get dizzy or even ill (never has happened to me knock wood) and as I lay there I felt fine, when I got up I felt tired actually, fine but tired. I mean Stacy said of course you are your body was being attacked for over 4 hours but I know it was because I hadn't eaten anything. So when I left the shop to head home I stopped off at this fab BBQ place called Chubbys (cute I know) and got some pulled pork for dinner YUM! It was wrapped so well I couldn't sneak a bite to hold me over. It was now 6PM and I needed something but all there was was McDonalds or Burger Kings and the like. So instead I grabbed a root beer, yes it had sugar in it but I needed that little jump and I felt so much better after I drank it. So by having the sugar boost after the ink I got home and had the pork for dinner which is perfectly South Beach legal and NO CARBS still.(not counting the soda)  I swear I could have really eaten crap but no I stayed true to my course. I only pray I can do that 3 or 4 months from now. LOL

     It's a lazy Sunday here at home. Hubs is upstairs watching something on Sci-Fi channel and of course I'm here watching porn....LOL KIDDING!!! Did that earlier..whoops!!  wink wink  You never know with me - hahahaha.  Still working on trying to get back all my music and photos from my computer crash. SO that's my plan for today. Laundry must be done as well for the coming week. So like I said short blog today, no major revelations, or witty stories. Sorry guys, I'm sure I'll have some fun things in the days ahead. So peace out darlings.
