What I’ve Been Up To: Saturday 28th July 2012

Posted on July 28, 2012 | Comments Off

Hi guys! How have we all been this week? Did you watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony last night? This here is my favourite picture of the night:

Hehe – I kid, I saw it this morning and found it quite funny. I loved The Hunger Games film, the book series is next on my list to read! (I’m on the last 100 pages of Larsson’s “Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” – It’s taking me a while but I’m enjoying it.) What are you reading?

What’s all your news? I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to? I have been left in charge of the family house and two pairs of guinea pigs whilst they all jetted off to Portugal for two weeks. I woke up on Tuesday morning to find these:

Yep – Two extra guinea pigs than I agreed to pig-sit, making that now three pairs!
Then, My temporary wardrobe decided to collapse, leaving me with piles and piles of clothes everywhere. I’ve seen a simple one from IKEA which I can add my own handles and decoration to, but for some reason, the website doesn’t want me to buy online?

Then of course I’ve been catching up with True Blood and Once Upon A Time. (It’s all happening in these two if you like your series!)

I’m going to go and make some lunch I think now – Bacon & eggs is good enough? And I’ll be experimenting with my hair later! Lots of lovely Directions colours!
Enjoy your weekend guys, there’s lots of lovely things coming up next week!

Tattoo Tuesday: 26th June 2012 [Tattooed Bride Blog]

My “Mirror Of Erised”

Yes, That is me in a work uniform! I thought I would start a regular post to share your, as readers, tattoos on a Tuesday! I’ll start off my posting my favourite one on my 3/4 sleeve that I got in January of 2011 (The heart was from May 2010) by friend Laura at Legends Tattoo Studio in my town of Hindley.

For those who don’t know, I am a HUGE Harry Potter geek. Seriously.. Every Christmas/holiday get together, my cousins & I play the special edition of “Scene It?”. I know, we’re geeks. The Mirror Of Erised, for those who have never read/seen the series, is a mythical object. When you stand in front of it, shows the “deepest and most desperate desire of one’s heart.” (Hence why I had it tattooed around my heart).

It is said that on the mirror, reads the inscription: “Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi” which when reversed and correctly spaced reads “I show not your face but your heart’s desire“. The Mirror shows the greatest desire of the one looking into it upon its surface, often with them having achieved some goal or ambition. However, since each person is unique, only they can see it from their point of view.

You should watch The Philosopher’s Stone if you wish to see it in action! (*Note* The tattoo is just a representation of the mythical object, which is why it is oval rather than rectangular)

I would LOVE to hear your tattoo stories! Feel free to email them in to marrymeink@gmail.com or using the Contact Me page at the top. I look forward to hearing your tattoo stories!
