Tattoos

When JC and I got back together...we got tattoos together. His kind of signified our relationship...a phoenix...second chances and all that stuff. Mine was just to cover up an old tattoo that my friend Chris Peterson did when I was sixteen years old. He took a sewing needle, dipped in alcohol, burned, with thread wrapped around it to soak up ink, and then he dipped in the ink, and into my leg, into the ink, and into my leg. It was of a killer clown. It was modeled after some clowns that were on an old cassette cover (I think it was Suicidal Tendancies...not sure) and Gabby's dad. I realized...there are no pictures of that tattoo...and the tattoo is gone without a trace...except in the minds of those who actually saw it. Anyway...I have a fish on my back, and wanted to stick with an ocean theme, and JC, a long time ago, had suggested a sea turtle because I love turtles...so that's what I got. It hurt like hell! Worse than my back! I maybe should have asked why they called the guy who did it "Jack Hammer Jason". That was such a great day. It was the day after the very first night that we had spent back together...and now we have remembrances...

Sea Turtle...I get so many compliments on this tattoo...I just got one from one of the ride attendants at Fiesta Texas...It's a lot bigger than I wanted, but it really is beautiful work.

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
