A Really Lekker Weekend!

Wow!

Did I get spoilt this weekend or what!

On Friday, the display case for my dragon collection arrived, and on Friday when I got home from work I unpacked my collection- which I hadn’t seen in a year!!

My Glugs’ was getting a little worried as I unpacked- he didn’t realise my collection was as big as it is, and the display cabinet is full! It looks so beautiful…

And, when my Glugs and I had a date day on Saturday, strolling around Sandton, he bought me a new pair of Nine West heels and a matching handbag! Are they not exquisite? They’re killer high… but I will wear them only on special occasions.

And on Sunday, the knucklehead and I had a mom and son date-day. :) I try and spend a day with him- or most of a day- every other month, where we mall-crawl and watch a movie and eat junk and talk crap and shop a little… like we did when it was just the two of us. Its great fun. And I love how he is still up for it no matter how old he gets! I love that he still wants to spend time with me like this. And yesterday he even told me I was cool! And yesterday he wore his Korn T-shirt and I wore my Guns ‘n Roses T-shirt! We must make an interesting pair when we go out together like this… And yesterday, the two of us went for tattoos as well! I now have Damien’s name in binary code, with each set of numbers seperated by a tiny little heart- bracelet style around my left wrist. He got a tribal dragon design done on his upper right arm. Its his own design, and he’s very chuffed with himself. He did admit though… that it hurt a LOT more than he thought it would! I think he figured that if his mom could do it then for him it would be a breeze! We went back to Cathy at Kevin’s Kustom Tattoos in Cresta. Cathy also did my strawberry and my cupcake, and I like her work. I got some cool shots of him being inked, and I’ll put them up on my photo blog.

I love the shoes and bag and I think you both made gorgeous choices on the ink. I like the both a lot. Timeless and classly. Glad he didn’t get something icky. I really like it. I really mature pick for his age. Yours is pure geninius! Are you going to use those shoes for dancing?

Cool tats! I finally saw my dream tatt on Miami Ink done by Kat. Exactly what I planned in my head so re inspired!
Thats a very Angel - Damien kind of bond, dig it!

Very jealous of those hot shoes!

zola: we did! And thank you!

Jeanette: are they not mouth-watering!!?!?

Malicious Intent: I am impressed with his choice too. Though we have spoken a lot about what bad choices can be made i.t.o. body ink.
:D
And no- I will definitely not be dancing in those shoes!

Brigitte: methinks!

Melany: thank you!

Katy: I love our dates too! And trust me- the shoes will most likely only be for special occasions, like dates and maybe year end functions or weddings.

Laura: tell me about it!

Gilz: why thank you!

Tanya: I am very lucky indeed!

JaneW: :P

t: thanx.

Dynagirl: I did see it! Someone mailed me a link! It was incredible!

Jo: thanx!

Bobbi Janay: he’s wanted his first one for a while, and I thought it might be fun!

Mel: ooh really!?!??! I always keep my eyes open for something I think you’d like after you told me your idea!

Tamara: he’s been designing tattoos for a while. I’m hoping he can turn it into a bit of an income.

Ydnic: heh heh

cybersass: thank you! I am so spoilt its quite ridiculous! I often think of you if I see animal print.
