12 on 12, April 2012

I'm doing my fourth "12 on 12". Can you believe I've stuck with something for so long? ;-)

All pictures were taken with my iPhone 3GS. Click the images to enlarge, if you dare!

Created by Chad Darnell and picked up from a number of random bloggers who then link back to him and vice versa. Chad stopped doing the 12 of 12 links in December of 2011, so I linked to Blobby's Blog as Blobby is the one who inspired me to do it. And someone should get some credit.

I have a difficult time figuring out when to start my "12 on 12". Since I work odd hours (compared to the rest of you humans), the 12th starts on my 11th. So I'm going with that for this round of "12 on 12".

1:34 AM: Unwinding from a day of tattooing. Listening to some BS:G while reading blogs.

2:08 AM: Bedtime. Seriously, that's how dark our bedroom is.

10:13 AM: The stack of magazines in the bathroom. The Husbear likes to read. Unfortunately he doesn't get rid of the magazines when he's done.

10:18 AM: Sophie waiting outside the back door for her morning breakfast. (And yes, there's a bathtub on our back deck... for now.)

10:21 AM: A picture of myself that resulted from a comment made on this post on Voenix Rising.

12:07 PM: Can you tell I live in Razorback country? I wonder if that's Jessica Dorrell's vehicle?

12:45 PM: I bought a new clock today. I have a thing for funky clocks. I think this one qualifies.

7:32 PM: Don't you hate when your zipper flap doesn't stay down? I'm not one for ironing.

10:31 PM: Running a new security camera cable in the Husbear's salon. Because sometimes these things just have to be done.

11:20 PM: Lost Highway, Bentonville to Pea Ridge style.

11:31 PM: Toe damage. I was repositioning my tattoo chair tonight and somehow managed to kick it. HURT LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER! I didn't take my shoe off to check, but I wasn't sure if I broke my nail or toe. Looks like it was the nail. Ouch.

11:46 PM: Apparently the Husbear purchased some new chicks today. More mouths to feed....

And the lame baker's dozen: 11:50 PM: Watching an episode or two of "Chopped" before I go to bed in an effort to get the hang of the emcee thing for this Saturday.

Until next time...
Erik

I'm doing my third "12 on 12".

All pictures were taken with my iPhone. Click the images to enlarge, if you dare!

8:59 AM: Breakfast. Kind of. I'm just too lazy to take a vitamin. Plus I like the flavor.


20120313-095646.jpg
9:00 AM: The Husbear's banana trees. These will be transplanted outside here soon. To grow and grow and grow.


20120313-095717.jpg
9:06 AM: A big pile of artwork to work on for upcoming tattoo appointments. I'm booked out about a month at this point. And I'm entirely okay with that.


20120313-095745.jpg
11:20 AM: Fresh out of the shower! The Husbear's bathrobe hanging up behind me makes me look like I have a mullet.


20120313-095837.jpg
12:36 PM: And as of today, my tattoo studio is now open 7 days a week! I had to scrape off the old closed sign on the door and put this sign up temporarily until the sign guy can come put new stickers on the window.


20120313-095852.jpg
3:18 PM: The lady ahead of me in line at the Post Office. She had her hand down the back of her pants. Digging. I just missed capturing the magic. And then avoided touching everything she did.


20120313-095908.jpg
4:20 PM: It's Beveraging Monday! For those of you who follow me on Twitter and Facebook, you are well aware of the awesomeness that is Beveraging Monday.


20120313-095938.jpg
4:38 PM: Ashley, the bestest bartender ever, brought me a rubber ducky! A light up rubber ducky!


20120313-100014.jpg
5:10 PM: Look who shows up for beveraging? It's Mike! It really wouldn't be Beveraging Monday without Mike.


20120313-100100.jpg
8:15 PM: And then we were joined by both the awesome Sheila and MAG! This is what happens when you leave your phone unaccompanied at the table.


20120313-100116.jpg
8:15 PM: MAG also got in on the unaccompanied phone action.


20120313-100204.jpg
8:54 PM: If only the beer glasses were that large....


20120313-100423.jpg
Bonus picture: 10:48 PM: And then things got all wibbly wobbly.

Until next time...

My duck’s bigger than your duck!

Mysterious package with no name arrives in the mail. But there's a rubber ducky sticker on it. Good sign that it's not an explosive device at least.

20120123-174329.jpg

The contents are well wrapped. I think there's an entire package of that paper in here.

20120123-174402.jpg

Lo and behold, it's a cute rubber duck!

20120123-174417.jpg

But wait, there's something printed on the bottom of the package.

20120123-174430.jpg

Well hello Mr. Ducky!

20120123-174452.jpg

Thank you Mr. Anonymous. ;-)

Until next time...

Duckin’ Anonymous

I had a surprise delivery for me in the mail today:

20120105-120703.jpg

A bag of rubber duckies!

20120105-121100.jpg

Thank you, whoever you are. There was no info in the box.

But the warning label on the package made me laugh:

20120105-121218.jpg

Again, thank you!

Until next time...

The Box of Awesome

Normally I would reserve that title for the TARDIS, but this also counts.

I received a package in the mail today from a certain blogger buddy, Sean of Idle Eyes and a Dormy!

20111230-115024.jpg

I had to open the box from the bottom, because it was securely closed with duct tape (or duck tape, hah!)

20111230-115043.jpg

Two sets of rainbow-colored rubber devil duckies!

20111230-115142.jpg

And a note!

20111230-115212.jpg

You bet I will, Sean! Thank you so so so so soooo much.

I need to find a shelf for half these guys. The other half, I have an idea for....

Until next time...
Erik
