A Girl and Her Boys

We did it! We got our tattoos. It took about and hour and a half to do mine and about two and a half for J's. I felt like it went by really fast and even though it didn't feel great, it really didn't hurt that bad! The guy doing mine kept saying how good I was doing and he seemed pretty amazed at how relaxed I was. I'm just super tough I guess! ;o) Ha ha! We went to Skin Thieves in Sedalia, MO. They did an awesome job and I would highly recomment them... I went first and they got started on mine. Once J decided I was fine, they went ahead and started on his. Here's a few pics from the day: Waiting to get started Putting on the stencil In Process The Finished Product! And Here's a couple of J's: He looks drugged but honestly he wasn't! LOL Watching J get his shading J's Tatt! :o) Love them!!

I get my sparrow tattoo in: ToMoRrOw!!!!!!!!!! J and I are going to get them on Saturday! I am getting mine on my LEFT hip. P.U.M.P.E.D.!! That is all :o)

The ex-hubs' Aunt B died Late Wednesday night. She was fighting cancer since November 08 (although she didn't tell anyone until Feb 09) and unfortunately lost the battle. And she was a fighter!! BB was very, very close to his Aunt. Just to tell you how close, she went with him to pick out my engagement ring... We spent practically every weekend at her house and any and every family get-together was at her house as well. She was more like a grandmother to BB and was without a doubt the glue that held that family together. It breaks my heart to think about how much pain the family is going through right now from her passing. She was a hairdresser and EVERYBODY knew her - she even cut my little brother's hair up until she had to close her shop. She was a great lady ~ short and fiesty and SO much FUN to be around. Always had the biggest smile on her face when we would show up and a loud "HI HONEY!" when we walked through the door. Always a big hug. BB was her favorite...

I found the tattoo I want! Besides the one my sister, mom & I are getting... It's a sparrow and I looked up the meaning on the net and I really like the things it symbolizes (although the sailor traveling so many miles symbolism doesn't really fit - maybe some day!). What do ya think?? I love it!!! Update: I was originally thinking of getting this on my ribs but now I'm thinking I may get this on my hip... And I'm probably going to get it pretty big! Whoo-hoo I'm excited!!!

So I haven't really thought much lately about B except a little guilt twinge here and there that we never talk anymore and I do miss him (as a friend) now and again. I feel a little sad when I see pictures of his kids on FB but really I feel I'm over "us". That being said, I wasn't quite prepared to see him kissing someone else... I am on a sand volleyball team with him and a couple other guys at work. It was a little awkward at the first game but nothing unmanagable - it was still a BLAST! (I love love love volleyball btw) So we had another game last night and as I was walking up to go inside I see a girl on her tip toes kissing a very tall guy... it was Brian!! Whoa. Ok...totally unprepared for that. Now quickly wipe the crazy shock off your face before they see you!!! Panic. Panic. Panic. Then he sees me and (awkward) has to introduce me because she's playing on our team too (awkward)."This is D, she works at L***** too". (awkward)(awkward)(AWKWA...

Ok, I have had it! This has just hit me within the last couple weeks or so, but I HATE ALL MY CLOTHES. I feel like I dress like a slob. My wardrobe has turned into a closet of hand-me-downs (not that I'm not grateful to have them, but still...)!! I hate living in the city and not be able to at least dress half way stylish. It's all around me!! CONSTANTLY! I can hardly handle it... Our s*e*c*r*e*t*a*r*y at work dresses ten thousand times better than I do! And I realize that position title is not PC... Don't. Care. I'm desperate. I'll wear retarded clothing and fashion faux paus around for a couple weeks if someone will nominate me for What Not To Wear! Anyone? Anyone? Stacey and Clinton, I need that Visa card and I need you to take me shopping!! Boo for being poor. And double BOO for not having bought a single pair of new shoes since January. Not even a flip-flop. Hmph! *Stomps off arms folded pouty lip*

Again, I am in complete and utter *AWE* of the opposite gender and their sheer...well no pun intended...B-A-L-L-S! Some of them are so confident of their total awesomeness and whatever it is that they think they possess that it just amazes me when they, out of the blue, try and hook up with you (again). HELLLOOOO....it was a mistake the first time. 6 months ago. Not like I miss you. Not happening again. I mean, what exactly is going through their minds when they send a random message to someone they haven't seen or spoken to for 6 months (and didn't exactly leave things on polite terms). Refer back to here - THIS guy I have not heard from for 6 months. I've missed my jewelry terribly, but him... NotSoMuch. He was just one of those terrible dating lessons learned. A friend (or so I thought he was a friend) lost. Until he sent me a text message to say "hello". Ok I thought I'll play along. He asks how I've been and I reply and ask how he's been, yada y...
