All things new and exciting...

I subscribe to a few different blogs, and my typical morning routine {while still in bed} is to read all my blogs that are emailed to me and to delete as much of my junk mail as possible.  oh, hello friend posted a blog about tattoos today, and now I REALLY want another one.  I have been thinking about it before and trying to figure out what else I should get.  I love my first tattoo, and I think tattoos {when done right} are beautiful.  You have to check out her blog - there are some gorgeous images on there.  These are a few of my favorites that she posted as inspiration...

I love written text, I don't know why, but I'm just drawn to it.  I had the idea to eventually have my kids {don't get too excited out there - we are in no way near ready for that :o) yet} names tattooed in their kiddo handwriting.  Just planning for the future - doing what I do best.  So what to get???  I have no idea.  I thought it would be neat to have meaningful dates put down my right side.  I think I have a hard time with images because I might eventually hate {insert whatever you want} birds, owls, etc that I might think is cute now.  But words that have meaning for me now, I don't think they will become less important as I grow old. It's a thought....

D always kept talking about getting me a Kindle because I love reading books.  He laughs at me, but I do.  A good book can completely capture my mind, and I seriously will not stop reading it until it's done.  The funny thing is most of the good ones I have to read again because I missed half of it trying to go so fast. Guess what the boy surprised me with yesterday?   

I am really excited about it!  It's so small, and although I love the feel of an actual book in my hands, I really think I'll like this as well.  It can go anywhere with out being bulky and literally weighing me down.  I just finished a series I was re-reading, and I am excited to start a new one he put on there for me.  I also have decided that I can only read at night.  If I start reading in the morning - there goes my motivation to work or do anything for that matter.

I also had to share the new little family that is outside our front door.  Sorry, these pictures are HORRIBLE, but all I have is an iPhone 3GS.  I noticed a nest outside our door about 2 weeks ago, and there were little birdies chirping away!  I check on them every day - they are so cute.  Even though they make a huge mess on our sidewalk, I'll still think they are adorable.

The view from my kitchen sitting area - where I peek at them every morning! 

 Trying to get a little closer, but they just hide from me...

I have also been really productive lately - rock on me.  Happy Thursday !
