Project Bucket-List-to-40 update

July 19, 2011 filed under Me | 16 Comments

OK, so we’re starting to get somewhere with this project.  If you recall, I’m going to do one thing from my bucket list every month until I turn 40.

This is how the planning of the bucket list is panning out so far…
1. July – Tattoo
2. August – ?
3. September – boudoir shoot

I have finally decided, well almost, on a design for my tattoo. It’s going to be similar to this image I found on Pinterest.  I want an infinity curve, with love on the one side, and the kids initials on the other.  And I was going to have it on my wrist but I don’t think it’ll fit there because I have really thin wrists, so I’m thinking at the top of my back, in the middle.

I’ve also decided on 2 options for tattoo artists and I’ll be contacting them tomorrow to decide which one I’m going use… and then hopefully I can get it done.

And then… I’ve contacted a boudoir photographer for the shoot in September, and hopefully she can fit me in.  I’m just waiting for some costing.

As for August, which is where I have a hole… maybe the learning to ride a horse?

Anyway, I have to tell you this.  I was telling the boys about my bucket list project  this evening, and explaining that I’m going to get a tattoo.  Bradley seemed a little dumbfounded at first, he couldn’t get his head around the fact that I wouldn’t be getting a temporary tattoo, but now he thinks it’s kinda cool… albeit too sore for him to contemplate.  LOL!

Then I spoke about the other things on my list.  Bradley was concerned about the Madagascar trip to see the lemurs because of the Somali pirates!! LOL! And then in the end, Connor looks at me, and just says “And can I just get an ice-cream?”

LOL, I love them to bits!

      That’s one of my options,and where I’m going tomorrow, love the delicate work he’s got on his site… and I’ve seen a beautiful bracelet he’s done on someone I know. Just concerned about the waiting list there that I’ve heard about

    Ds mom always talks about the lemurs when she comes back from Madagascar (she does work there).

    I must say I also had the same reaction as Bradley about the tattoo at first :)

    Exciting times Jeanette :)
    We’re going to see a tattoo artist on Saturday. His based in Design Quarter…it’s only for a consult and I’m already nervous!

    I love that design. It’s you…

  • Jackie


    Oh he is too funny :)

    Cant wait to see, sounds like you have a stunning design.

    Ag cute! (The Connor remark). My Princess can not wait to get a “needle” some day – she would be so happy if I decide to get one. Me – I am scared. Yes, do learn to ride a horse, although it might take a bit more than a month to do properly.

  • Svenja


    Couldn’t agree more with Fee – the tattoo design is truly ŸOU”. Can’t wait to see it in the flesh, lol
    You are getting inked, who would’ve thought :)

    I have no idea how we are going to restrict tattoos with my girls, after all their uncle is a tattoo artist :)

  • Madelein


    Ag Moeder. You are too brave with the tat – needles scare me.

  • Marcia (123 blog)


    Eeeeek, needles. I can’t think further than the needles :)

    Anyway, all the best for today if you haven’t already had it done!
