What's your opinion?

So after mom looked at my entry about my painting's new home, she promptly called to tell me that the painting didn't look good above the fireplace. I wasn't completely sold on it's new home, so I thought I'd take her advice and try it above the couch instead, relocating the wedding photo to above the fireplace.

So what's your opinion ... where does the painting look best?

Above the couch?

Or above the fireplace?

Breakfast at Elizabeth's ... again.

On Sunday morning, we met John, Meg, Becky, Bill, and Beth for breakfast at Elizabeth's. John and Meg were in town from Portland, OR for the weekend. Here are a few pictures:

I was a little disappointed because the "Crabby Eggs" weren't on the menu this time... so I had to go with the Eggs Florentine, which is creamed spinach topped with poached eggs with Hollandaise sauce, and fried oysters, served over hashbrowns. I ordered mine without the hashbrowns, as I'm on phase 1 right now. It was very good, though a little disappointing since it wasn't "crabby eggs". Jeff ventured away from the stuffed french toast, his usual, and got the special which was corned beef hash with poached eggs and hollandaise. He also said it was good, though not phenomenal.

The company was outstanding though! We miss you Meg and John!

Saturday night... Date night.

This past saturday, Jeff and I went to play some pick up volleyball with friends at Coconut beach in the morning. We ran some errands in the afternoon, then got cleaned up for saturday night - date night.

We started out our evening with dinner at a new restaurant on Magazine called Baru. The food was pretty good, but a little pricey. We have another Tapas restaurant that we go to occasionally, and I think I like that one better, so I'm not sure if we'll come back here again.

Following dinner, Jeff said.... Let's go get tattoos! I'd been wanting to have my dolphin tattoo on my foot covered with something new for awhile anyway, so I said "okay!", thinking I was calling his bluff..... Little did I know....

So off we went to Crescent City Tattoo on Magazine! Jeff already has his tattoo picked out from when we had stopped in there to ask about coverups. So, here it is in progress!

And here's the finished product! It looks FABULOUS!!!!!!!

Here's the before of my dolphin...

And the after the outline was done for the new tattoo...
(That's not bruising by my toes, just a little leftover ink!)

And my finished product...

While I'm not so sure about the shading behind the tattoo as it looks a little strange from my point of view, it was necessary to completely cover the dolphin. I'm really liking the overall picture though! I just had forgotten how much tattoos on the foot HURT!!! WOW!!! This hurt way more than either my back or my ankle, or the small dolphin in the same spot for that matter!
