ink

I love ink. And by ink, I mean tattoos. Jeb is pretty much covered in them. I sometimes wish that I could be covered in them too. I really like chest pieces and 1/4 sleeves on girls. Would I ever get my arms and chest tattooed?? Probably not. I know it would affect me getting a job and some people view of me. So, I choose to get tattoos where I can always cover them up super easily. Lately I have been really wanting to get another one. I have thought about getting the velveteen rabbit. That was one of my favorite stories when I was a little kid. However, there are a few problems:
1. tattoos are expensive and we don't have much spare cash at the moment.
2. all I have is a newer version of the book, and the image of the rabbit is not what I remember. This is similar to what I remember.

This is the newer version:

3. where on my body would I get it!?
4. I am not sure how it would look. most likely silly.

I think that I am just craving some new ink sooo badly that I am thinking of anything I can get tattooed on me. Tattoos really are an addiction.

...and the weekend is gone!

I feel like all I did was sleep this weekend. I didn't get much accomplished that was on my To Do list. Oh well. There is always next weekend! Jeb and I did however get started on finishing the back yard...

We finished some of that area off to the left. There is SO much debris and crap over there that we have decided to do a little section at a time. It is cool enough now that the poison ivy should stay away.

I never got in a long run. Maybe today?

the weekend is upon us!

YES! The weekend is finally here! I have big plans for this weekend.

1. mow my lawn - It has been a few weeks since I have been able to mow the front yard. And now that we have grass in the back yard (yay!) I will also need to cut the back as well!

2. get rid of the remaining poison ivy - About a month ago we finally tore up the back yard and planted some grass. However, we still had some poison ivy in the side next to the fence. There was SO much debris and vines and what not, we just decided we would wait until we had more time to tear that up. Hopefully it doesn't rain on sunday!

3. complete Halloween costumes - Let me tell you. I enjoy Halloween. This year Jeb and I have been invited to a Halloween party. Fun! I am going to be a flapper and he is going to be a gangster from the 20's. We need to hit up some thrift stores for a few things and we are all set!

4. RUN RUN RUN - We are running the Wicked 10K on Halloween morning. The furthest I have ran since the 1/2 marathon? 4 miles. So I am thinking this Sunday I need to get in a serious 5 mile run.

5. get my car fixed! This is a simple one. All I need to do is drop my car off at my dad's friends house tonight and hopefully he can fix it. I am hoping it doesn't cost too much. I know our friend will take care of it much cheaper then VW dealership will. But NOTHING with VW's is cheap. UGH

6. ORGANIZE - As long as I have time I really want to organize under my sinks, in the bathroom and my one closet. Hopefully I have time and energy this weekend!

what to write

I tend to never really know what to write on this thing. Well, I guess there are plenty of things I would like to write about, but I feel as though I probably shouldn't put them out there in the open. It's not that I am worried about people knowing certain things about me...but I am worried that I might offend someone. I also tend to want to write when I am mad/upset about something....so my posts tend to seem depressing....and I don't want people to think I am depressed all the time. So, how do you know when something is or is not appropriate to put on here? Maybe I just shouldn't worry about that anymore and I should just post openly? Hmm....

here we go

Some not so great things right now:

1. My car is breaking and I am not sure when I can get it fixed.
2. Money...EW
3. Possible rain on Saturday.
4. Broken printer.
5. Broken vacuum.


And a few things I am happy/excited about:

1. Mom's birthday was a ton of fun.
2. I have the best family/friends around!
3. Halloween is in 10 days and I get to go to a costume party! yay!
4. Jeb and I get to run a race together on Halloween.
5. Possibly taking classes at the Art Institute.
6. Meeting Jeb for lunch today!

Sometimes writing these things down relieves a wee bit of stress. YAY for more positives! (even if they are just little things)

this is what its about.

what a blast

Secret birthday bash was a success!! I was up from 9 till 11 on Friday and I was going NON STOP. Seriously worked my butt off. Thank goodness I had Joye and her sisters there to help! Also my aunt and uncle! My mom's 50th birthday party was lots of fun. It was so great that all her sisters and brother could fly in to see her. I think for the most part she was surprised.

I would like to maybe see Where the Wild Things Are tonight...before our secret mission. mauaha. I was never really into the book when I was younger...but it looks interesting.
