tats and friends..........

well........i did it!!!!!!! i have been talking about getting another tattoo for some time.........and i have been talking about it with tootsie.......and some other friends...........sooooooooo......

tootsie, jen k and myself went to the delmar loop......walked into IronAge and got some tats!!!!!!!

now.......mind you...........when i got my first tattoo there was NO pain......i used emla cream!!!!! okay........i got a script for emla......paid a butt load of money....applied the emla to each of our extremities..............and it HURT like hell!!!!!!!! well......actually only the outlines hurt.........poor little jen.........her's was ALL outlines......with just a touch of shading........however it's BEAUTIFUL! and toot's looks soooo damn gorgeous...........i even kept her sketch just in case i would like one like hers!!!!!!!!!

i just love mine........and can't wait until spring/summer to show this puppy off!!!!!! love the lime green and hot pink.............would have loved more pink..............however there is always a NEXT time!!!!!!!

tootsie's is the dragonfly......jen's the celtic heart........and mine is the GREEN gecko!!!!!!!!!

well..............i still LOVE my life..........and most all that goes along with it..........have a few bumps in the road............however i guess they keep me guessing!

new adventure!!!!!!!

having some girlfriends join me and we are off for tattoos tomorrow!!!!!! hoping to have a fun day.........then do some scrapbooking about it later in the day!!!!!!

will try to post some photos of the activities.........

and will try to post photos of the progress on the homefront!!!!!

love my life!!!!!!

more renovations!!!

rex installed new lights in the kitchen.....and replaced all the cabinet hardward......it looks sooo damn cool......next we are going to work on the hardwood floor between the first floor and second floor...........then we start on the second story with the hardwood........course i have to come up with some funds for that!!!!!

still planning on a little adventure with linda and jenny next weekend......already got the EMLA creme and toots is bringing the dressings..........so now we just need to wait until saturday!!!! then off to crop at Archivers in illinois (where jenny works!) this is going to be soooo much fun!

also......went to see Mamma Mia this past thursday night.......what great music from ABBA ( the first B is supposed to be backwards.....just can't seem to do that on this computer!).....loved all the music....and the company! lynne celebrated her birthday on sunday....valentine's day......what a fun day for her!

well......off to bed..........erin and mike just left after having dinner here......erin made shrimp scampi.......what a great chef she is.........so skilled in the culinary arts......not at all like her mom!

i love my life!!!!!!! and my puppies.......so cuddly!!!!

going to work on this

here i am again...........short day at work.....came home and took a little nap with a puppy or two.......have some more snow outdoors......and comet and apollo just love to romp in it.....then have to spend "timeout" in the laundry room to de-thaw.......or just get into the sink and get a quick bath...........hopefully only one more time outdoors for tonight!

that's pretty much here..............still love my life!!!

busy hectic life

wow.....it says on my blog that i have only posted once in the last 3 months.......what a slacker i am........oh well.....

spent the day cleaning up the mess that rex had made installing hardwood stairs to the second story.....replacing that nasty carpet that comet and apollo had drug their little bellies on and dirtied it beyond belief!!!!!! course, now that we have hardwood stairs the little guys can't seem to maneuver them at all........and need to be carried! okay.....comet only weighs about 12 lbs........however apollo and i greatly resemble each other and he's chubby.......and it's a chore! oh well.......love my puppies and will continue to do it!

it's snowing outside right now.......so glad i don't have to arrive at work until 11am.....certainly makes it easier with driving!!!

well......off to bed......after i carry the boys upstairs!!!!!
