Always great to hear from you Papmom!

I am in a better frame of mind these days. Only going to continue forward. Alot of skaters are artists as well. I guess thats who is drawn towards skating as it in itself is another creative outlet.

I'll try to get around to getting the picture up today. I'm always kinda shy about showing my stuff to people. My birthday is 6/16, no need to make a big deal out of it. I never do. Just looking forward to it this year as a symbol of a new start. Looks like rain again here today. Gonna try to find something to do.

You sound good, sk8. I love watching recovery, and am really enjoying watching yours.

Thank you Doggygirl. I'd like to say thank you for the story from AA you posted a few weeks ago. The story gave me a sense of hope in a bleak time. I really feel that time was a turning point for me. I'm with you on the one day at a time. I've learned that works in a lot of aspects of life. Not just drinking. So thank you! And thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement!

Afternoon SK8, glad you had a nice day with your son, I can imagine it is difficult to let him go.
Regarding birthdays and other landmark days, these days can only as difficult as you let them, my anniversary is tomorrow and it's fathers day on Sunday, I can choose to be sad on these days or I can choose to be happy for the memories they provide me.
I have some meeting this week which will hopefully bring some good news and I will ask her solicitor if it is possible for me to bring my son out to dinner with my father on Sunday - if he has a heart and sees I am not the vicious monster he believes I am then maybe just maybe he will do this - besides there are no legal bounds for not.
Had a good day, bought 4 dvd's, cushions and a throw-on so I can watch dvd's snuggled on the couch tomorrow night to keep my mind off other things - on my birthday I went out and bought cans of beer cause I felt sorry for myself and of course I drank them and made an ass out of myself, lesson learned, no excuse is good enough - none.
Happy day to you.

Hey Wanna, hope everything is going good for you. I wish you the best for your meeting this week. Oddly enough I don't think my birthday is going to be a rough day at all. Her's and my son's have the possibity to be though. Probably because those days mean more to me than my own. But like I said I'm treating mine as a new start to life.
Be strong tomorrow Wanna. I know it could be hard. At least you have a good plan to occupy your time. Have a good day.

Hey Sk8! I have a tat too!!! Got a nice vine arm band at 49! I've had many compliments from young and old and of course some lifted eyebrows. lol One young gal stopped me in a store to tell me how cool it is. She then showed me all her tats that she had self designed. She brightened my day. Good reason to keep my muscle tone up too eh.

Beautiful day here and off to cut the lawn with my new mower. Old one bit the dust. Oh well it didn't own me anything. Well I have to assemble it first. Shouldn't be a problem--I hope.

Still looking forward to seeing that interesting artwork. I'm sure your son's Mom will be touched by your time and thought put into it. Later Sk8er!!!

Here's the art I did for the cover of the photo book. Not my best work but not bad considering its been years since I've drawn.

Didn't get my first one until my mid 20's. Most of mine I drew up myself. I think I only have a couple that are from Sailor Jerry flash art. Tattoos are everywhere now a days. Funny how I still get dirty looks from some people though. Oh well can't please everyone.

Your artwork is phenonamal (crap, can't spell this word!!). It's awesome SK8!! I will be shocked if you don't get a positive response from her. Fingers crossed. I think you should get back into the art work-it certainly will take care of "Looking for something to do". Maybe drawing for tatoo parlors? Just a thought.

Thanks Papmom. I'll be happy with any response from her at this point. I think I'm going to try to get back into art. I really enjoyed doing that book.

I LOVE the artwork...it is really beautiful! My guess is she is gonna be over the moon with the photo book..she may not say it but she will treasure it, I am sure of that.

Hi to all you tattoo owners - I have nothing against tattoos, but I accompanied my young friend to have a rather big one done, and then watched her scream and moan and cry ,it was very painful to see. It must have heard like hell. So I decided that I'll skip that for myself.

Lmao Jessie...It does hurt. I got a big one on my hip going up into my tummy..it hurt worse than childbirth..but I would not give in to moan lol! I smiled sweetly and bore it....too embarressed to let a squeak out!

Felt shite afterwards tho!

Thanks Oney. I'm sure you're right, she'll be thrilled but won't say anything. Oh well. I enjoyed doing it. It feels good to do something nice for someone.

Yes tattoos do hurt. But I never found it that bad. I get asked if they hurt at least 8 out 10 times someone asks me about them.

It sure does feel good doing something nice for someone, good for the soul.


I think because I am a skinny bint and it was on my hipbone that is hurt like hell..she did warn me beforehand it was gonna hurt.
Other half has 2 full sleeves and his chest done, he is thinking of a backpiece now..he never really complains about the pain.maybe coz he works out..I dunno.

Also the photo book will be for the little man when he grows up, imagine how proud he will be that his dad did all this wonderful artwork when he was a baby and made this special album all about him....bloody priceless!
