2 tattoos in 4 days
it's been a fun filled vacation so far. first on tuesday, jack and i went to cherry bombs and both got tattoos. i had josh do a killer sugar skull with CASCOS over it. Jackie had jamie do 'walking on broken glass' with shards of glass in the center of the words. they both came out really well and of course mine took forever!
Wednesday we went to dr spoor so jack could get her steroid fix and some vicodin cuz her head and neck aches were too much. it was the fastest appointment we ever had with him. we sat in the waiting for 15 minutes and in the room for 10. it was a nice change, but he wants her back in a month or so to do some testing.
Once we ate something at Andary's, we went home and started making peirogies with ma from scratch. we made about four dozen and they were amazing! ma was the stuffer, i was the forker and jack was the blancher.
Yesterday, friday, we started with a house showing in mt clemens with laura tagging along. it...was...gorgeous! my dream house! we want to show ma and then get together with Craig and get the ball rolling asap. i want it...
After that we went back to cherry bombs so laura could get a tattoo of the cross of st benedict on her forearm. took forever and we were starved by the time we got home. we only had time to get ready before Chris came over and we were off in her new car to greektown. we ate at the pegasus, had a pitcher of beer and then rode the people mover to the ren cen where the tattoo convention was. $20 bucks to get in and we roamed the stalls for a little bit. every other artist was working on someone and it was like a humongous tattoo shop with no doors. first jackie started getting her tattoo of a psuedotumor cerebri awareness ribbon, then me and chris went in search of someone to do something on us. I found a guy right opposite of jackie that did crazy cartoony weird art and he drew up a D for me. Chris wanted to get our lady of guadalupe on her arm, but the artist said it would take too much time, seeing as we got to the con at 9 and it closed at 11. So she ended up doing the sacred heart of jesus on her pointer finger. it was black and white and it really came out nice.
once both of them were finished, of course the guy was still working on mine and it was the worst tattoo pain i've ever felt, and i have quite a few. i could barely keep my composure, grabbing jackie's hand over and over, asking her to talk to me to keep my mind on something other than the seering, raking agony my back was experiencing. she also gave me the digital camera to look though to keep me from crying. it was only a few tears that i let slip out. the D came out nice though.
only three more days of vacation. trying not to think about it. today is gonna be a whatever kind of day.
