not enough to kill me… but I’m feeling it now, and I feel anxious…

July 17: In celebration of my workmate's birthday I made her a Camembert Cake... Every Friday Rebecca and I have our own little morning tea together and, because we're both cheese fiends, we usually have cheese and crackers. Thus a Camembert Cake.

July 16: My masterpiece is (finally) complete!

Here are photos from my third and last tattoo session. It was a small session, only an hour, for touch-ups and the last bit of shading. Unfortunately said last bit of shading was up near my armpit and hurt like needles and knives! Not to worry, it's all done now and I LOVE IT!

Thank you to our tattooist, Tim of All Star Tattoo. Tim, it was so funny every time you giggled when I was squirming in pain. Not ;-)

July 15: Zanne's boss resigned on the same day as her - what are the chances?! Wednesday was T-Bomb's last day. Here are some photos taken at her farewell at Cloudland.

We were well on our way home before the debauchery began... Apparently T-Bomb vomited out of her nose the next day - tequila shots argh!!

PS. T-Bomb is the one with the long, dark hair

...and happily ever after

June 28: Our awesome, thoughtful, sweet friends threw us a champagne breakfast to celebrate our engagement. A delicious menu, beautiful place settings and great company made for a wonderful morning - thank you to Gem for being the perfect hostess!

We were also lucky enough to receive an engagement photo session from our friend Kristen - I've been on the internet looking for inspiration for our photo shoot ever since ha!

(We don't have pics of everyone here - sorry!)

June 27: Here I am with Tim from All Star Tattoo during my second session for my half sleeve tattoo. I love the pic on the top left - I believe this is the moment that Tim shared his Mount Everest adventure with us. He just casually mentioned it, because that's the kinda guy that he is, and I was like "wait, what??". People climb Mount Everest for reals, who knew? Anyways, even though this tattoo is proving to be quite painful, I had a good session today. I think being distracted by conversation with Tim actually helped the time (and pain) pass faster. I only have one more small session to go and it will be all over red rover - woot!

Isn't my tattoo pretty? I (luckily) think it's beautiful.

June 26: We attended Zanne's sister's (Sally, top left) baby shower - we will have a niece in a few short weeks!

I love the photo of Zanne's Nan here, she's laughing during the diaper-filled-with-chocolate game. I've already asked Zanne to put a booties-bonnet-and-cardigan order in with her Nan for our future babies - Nan is a knitting rockstar!
