Tattoo!



Yay!

So, as you can see from the pictures, I got my tattoo.  It turned out fantastic, and well worth the wait.  Thaddeus, the same dude at Electric Dragonland that did Kerry's tat, was a stand-up guy with an obviously large amount of talent.  It was a fun experience.

Obviously the new one is bigger than it's little brother from 10 years ago.  Hee hee.  Still, there's a balance between the two, in the way that they're standing and whatnot.  I've always been happy with my dragon, but let's be honest.  The Jabberwocky kicks the crap out of it.

Rhyno came to the tattoo shop with me, and was there the whole time.  He took pictures with his iPhone and sent 'em to Kerry, who was at home with the kid.  We had a good time hanging out, talking to Thaddeus, and just shootin' the crap about music, video games, motocross, comic books, and all manner of stuff that I would talk about normally.  It was a good time.  And to those of you who are about to ask the inevitable question, "Did it hurt?", well it didn't feel good.  Tattoos hurt.  But it's sofa king worth it.

So, the rest of the weekend was also pretty eventful.  We went to Megan and Kristian's house on Friday night for another blind beer taste test -- this time the subject was American Lagers.  Surprisingly, Grain Belt Primo won with flying colors.  The delicious blueberry hints pushed it over the edge.  It destroyed other brews such as Budweiser, Miller Genuine Draft, and Stroh's.

Today is Easter, and my girls and I went to my grandparents' house.  We saw a bunch of my family, and it was a lot of fun.  Gwenner was basically running on empty by the time we left at 3:00, but she slept the whole way home so she managed to get a little nap.  When we got home, I set up an egg hunt in the back yard, and she had a blast.  She's just so fun to interact with these days.

Tomorrow it's back to the grind.  Blech.

You have weird-looking calves.
Also, the Jabberwock is totally LOLing at the dragon. So now your calves sound weird, too.

And thirdly, I'm hugely jealous of your awesome tattoo, because it rules times a billion.

LOL. Thank you! Don't be jealous, yours is awesome as well.

My calves totally do look all weird in every one of these pictures. Not sure that they look that weird in real life, but I acknowledge the possibility. Hee hee.

I think it's mainly the pictures. Meghan pointed out to me that you're bending over in at least one of them. An observation I somehow failed to make. LOL
