A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Girls' night out took an exciting (and semi-spontaneous) turn. Before dinner, Meredith, Suzanne and I made a stop in Bucksport for Suzanne to add a new "accessory." Suzanne needs her friends right now, and what better a way to show our support and love than escort her to a tattoo parlor? That's what friends are for. I know Suzanne's mom reads this blog. Jan, I hope you'll forgive us, and I'm sorry if you didn't want to see the action shots :).


checking out the design one final time.


"I promise not to be mad at my friends if it hurts more than they say"


The artist. The design on screen. The meaning: Choku Rei indicates strength, power, action. It represents energy with a direction and purpose. (perfect!)


Ready?


"Remember, Suzanne, you survived natural childbirth"



Ta-da! (upside down). We can't wait for yoga to see your cute feet from across the room!

And now for a drink. Yep. We ordered the volcano bowl. And it is indeed on fire.



We have another very similar date planned soon for someone else to get another accessory. Stay tuned!
