Lois – my mom (and my nickname for her) came to visit over the weekend. I was so glad to just hang out, run errands, and eat super tasty food with her. Honestly, I forget that I’m here alone, because of social media and phones. But, I LOVED having her here even if it was for a few short days.
We both started watching Chicago P.D. and got addicted.
Don’t worry I don’t have my mom come all this way just to watch TV! We were working on our Heliopath KALs!
Then, I have been on the market for some vintage Pyrex – but I’m still too cheapskate to pay the retail prices for it now. I mean, all the sellers know it’s popular at the moment so for a set of 4 nesting bowls it’s common to see $100 price tag attached. I’m more into the designed square refrigerator ones so it’ll take time to ease in to that hobby. BUT. We went to this great Vintage/Retro Kitchen store in Chicago called Jazze Junque and it was way cool. She had loads of vintage Pyrex, $500 cookie jars, plates, mugs, kitchen sets, glasses – I was in heaven.
We ate amazing Polish food at Staropolska in my neighborhood too. I tried to practice my Polish, but I’m too shy and got way too nervous. But the waitress was really nice, even after I made an ass out of myself trying.
We also got tattoos. I got this ‘Dunwich Horror’ inspired monster man and done by Josh Howard at Pioneer Tattoo in Chicago.
I made this little tissue ‘coozie’ for Josh Howard also since he is an elderly_lady.
Overall great weekend. Back to reality.

The Dunwich Horror tattoo is awesome, I’m totally digging it. Have you seen the old movie adaptation? It is 70’s psychedelic horror at its finest! I saw it on Netflix, I haven’t checked recently, but its probably still there and its certainly worth checking out.
Yes the cover art on the poster was the reference
Eggsellent! I figured that the movie had to be at least part of the inspiration. 🙂
