Sleeve Tattoo?

Sleeve tattoo?
Uhmm, yes please!!


I have decided that I want a black and grey sleeve.
So I started designing one. Which is kind of weird because I haven't drawn anything in the last four-ish years! Oy vey

I only have the upper arm (and probably not complete either) drawn out, and I love it.

So far what is  incorporated : cat skull (my favourite animal, skull because I love skulls), and a pointillism golden ratio swirl of circles increasing in size from the centre.
What I want in it: a crystal formation (because I fucking LOVE crystals!!!), and lysianthus (my favourite flower).
There will have to be s bit more to tie it together, but I haven't decided.

I am a paranoid asshole, so for fear of my idea being stolen, I'm not sure that I want to post it until I have the ink in me. So, that will take at least until bonus time, which isn't until April.


Now to find out if I can actually have a sleeve tattoo at work.
They have no issues with my arm, neck or finger (the ones that are most on display almost all of the time)... but a whole sleeve might be a different story. I can't afford to get a full sleeve AND a whole wardrobe of long-sleeve shirts.



I'm excited!!!!

Six Year Anniversary, Bad Ass Grandpa, and a Busy Summer

Holy shit!

As of yesteday, Chris and I have been together for six whole years.
SIX YEARS
And as Chris said yesterday, "Not over by a long shot".


Last week we had our first vacation time together in nearly two years!!
So, we went to Drumheller to see dinosaurs and eat the best burgers we've ever had, and Banff where we bought tons of candy. We have never been to either of these places together.

And at the end of this month we will be going on our first camping trip together in Elkwater.
His brother invited us, so now we have to scrounge up camping gear because we don't own any, but we are really looking forward to it. I haven't gone camping since the first summer after my dad died.

We are also going to try and go up to Edmonton this month to visit my "godfather" (not religious, my dad's best friend and an uncle to me growing up).
And the second last weekend of this month we are going to see LION KING!!!

This is the summer of us doing all of these things that we have never done before, and they are all AWESOME things!!!


During our vacation, my grandpa was hospitalized with a minor stroke and pretty severe brain bleeding. So he ended up with 50 skull staples after TWO brain surgeries! I visited on Friday (with a batch of his favourite cookies that I baked) because he was sent home only four days after his surgery, and you would not think that he had just gone through so much.
Seriously. My grandpa is such a badass.


Not much else has been going on...
I am super excited for camping, but I don't really want it to hurry up and be here because that would kind of mean the end of summer, and I'm really not ready for that yet.

I could never move away from my home to somewhere warmer... and -no offense to Americans- I have zero interest in living in the states, where the weather would be nicer... but I really do wish that summer was longer in Canada.
