Sorry Mom.

I am 27. I am married. I am employed. I am educated. I pay my bills relatively on time & I have never been in trouble with the law but apparently that is not good enough for my mother. I have disappointed her to the point of  being disowned! (I have the text to prove it) by what I did last night. & despite the obvious disheartening situation I could not be happier with what I did! What is it you ask!? Well here she is!

I got my FIRST tattoo! 

The thought of getting one has come and gone since I turned 18! & I have gotten close on several occasions, the last one being last year when we were in Las Vegas for my birthday but the guy must have thought we were born yesterday and tried to charge us $300 for the same tattoo above that I paid WAY LESS for! Anyway yesterday the husband & I were talking about both getting one for millionth time (he has 5 already) & we decided we had enough of the chit chat and we headed to the Latin Skulls where he got all of his, not exactly a wholesome place but I didn't expect it to be! Anyway 30 minutes after our arrival I was in the chair! I couldn't believe I was actually going through with it, especially after all the terrible things my mom said to me shortly before via text when I broke the news to her. After a few tears over her I got over it put on my big girl panties and took a DEEP breath & DID IT! Yes it hurt! But it was so very worth it. I love love love love it! I cannot stop looking at it & I am feeling a lil bada** about it! =D 

Of course with getting a tattoo there are mixed reactions some people love it and some people frown upon it whether they say it or not I can tell! But guess what!? I DO NOT CARE! Take a look at your life and then come talk to me about mine (defensive much?) I am still the same person I was before the tattoo except now I know I can take a needle hacking into my skin! ha. 

Sorry Mom! (who might I add has a tattoo too!) 

Do any of you have tattoos!? Did anyone disown you!? Any negative reactions!? Do tell.

p.s.

Thank you Latin Skulls! I am ready for my next one =D 

Some nerve.

Yes I am ballsy lady! Even though I just upgraded my iPhone & next month is my husbands 30th birthday which involve a lot of funds usage, I have the nerve to post a valentines day wish list! Haha

First up

Nickelback tickets! Don't judge. These gentleman will be here in the summer! So maybe a promissory note in the meantime?

Cirque de Soleil Michael Jackson tickets! How amazing would that be?!

Because of said iPhone upgrade purchase I need a few cases! Yes a few lol. & specifically one of the Kansas City Chiefs variety.

& what I've been wanting forever & ever & ever a purple cruiser! Oh how I want my hair blowing in the wind music in my ears and nothing but road ahead! Anyone convinced yet?

& a little far fetched but a black Kia Soul hamsters included please!


Ok I am done but before anyone gets on there soapbox about a commercial holiday & love should be shown everyday blah blah blah Just know I am just as content with just having my husband with his freeway bought flowers in hand! ;)

P.S.
This new blogger app is weird & I don't know how the pics work but u get the gist!

"Love" Letters.

Dear Kobe,
I know you are amazing but thank you for passing the ball! If there is no trust we cannot survive!

Love
This Laker fan.

Dear Husband,
Even though you have changed your mind about technology & how much you don't love it (read turning 30 going on 60) Thank you for accepting my 'need' for the iPhone 4!

Love,
Your wife.

Dear Starbucks,
Due to the letter above you and I are going to have to take a break....I know.....it's hard for me too.

Love
Addicted.

Dear Keurig,
Hi! How are you?! Let's talk.

Love,
Your new BFF.

Dear Work,
Alot of times I question how did I get to you, how have I been here for nearly FIVE years?! & then you send me a memo that says we can stuff ourselves with pizza & talk over questions or concerns and it all comes together! We have a mutual love of pizza haha

Love,
Your FAVORITE receptionist!

Dear Reality TV,
Our relationship is SO unhealthy but I am seriously addicted!!

Love,
A DVR full of crapola!

Ok I am done! It took me all day to write jibberish! I need help.

It's Ok Thursday

It's ok that I am totally obsessed with my wedding pictures!

It's ok if said obsession has lost me a few friends on Facebook.

It's ok that I have totally lagged it on my wedding detail posts! I am trying to steal everyones pictures they took & organize them. #excuses

It's ok that my husband has changed his 30th bday plans a million times! Ranging from doing absolutely nothing to now going to Vegas! Totally ruining any & all the things I had in mind! But I guess it is his day why not let him choose. Right? Right.

It's ok that I am so excited to see my bestie on Saturday! We have so much catching up to do :)

It's ok that while me & the husband were walking hand in hand with our nephew we got a little touch of baby fever! But quickly got over it when he got fussy & we were able to give him back! Ha.

It's ok that it took me practically all day to write this post! Work always gets in the way lol

Happy Thursday!

What are you OK with today?

Wordless Wednesday~ All Smiles

The Jist Of It!

It has been nearly a month of wedded bliss over here in our home! & it has been ,BY FAR, the busiest EVER! I promise I wont do this every month, but it seemed like a good way to recap on the holidays! I hope all of yours were very happy =D 

We left for our 7 day  honeymoon the day after our wedding 

Cabo! 

& then there was Christmas! 

 First Christmas as Mr & Mrs! 

Dont you dare make fun of our jammies! It's tradition! In case you are wondering that is me and my mommy dragging my brother to the tree to take pictures! Lil stinker.

& this little dear is my nephew! It was basically HIS Christmas! I mean look at him! How can you deny that face a gazillion presents!? =D 

& then of course there was New Years!

We spent New Years eve with the husbands best friends family & I decided to make 60 Jello Shots! Big Hit =D 

 The bff's mom & I getting ready for shots! She is AWESOME! 

 There they go! =D

Completely Sober! ;) 

THEN later that day we went to my moms house because it was her birthday! 

 Love her to pieces! I framed a pic of her crossing the finish line at her 1st 5K! She's done 3 more since! & a gift card for some running shoes because there is no stopping her! 

My beautiful mommy! 

You will never guess her age.

&  now here we are, back to work for 5 normal days just waiting for the next weekend for more good times!

We are currently planning a Vegas trip for the husbands 30th Bday! AND hopefully if all goes well with BofA   my SIL & BIL will be joining us! Fingers crossed =D  

What is Business Casual Anyway!?

Have you ever been somewhere & you stop and think "What the heck am I doing here?!" That was me on Friday night!! Allow me to explain.


My husband is the editor of our local newspaper and he gets invited to a lot events, most are during the work day, and some are after hours. This past Friday I attended an event with him & here is what I thought it was

A tour of the floats that were going to be in the Rose Parade...Ok sounds fun right? So I get dressed, jeans, shirt, light sweater and I was THISCLOSE to throwing on some sneakers for this "tour"


What it really was:

A reception for the grand Marshall of the parade(read JR MARTINEZ!), the court & all the head folks of float decorating at a members only mansion type club, via LIMO!!

I'll give you a minute to imagine how mortified I was!


So I was sent BACK home to Change since this was a no jeans event & I discovered I do not do "business casual"! At work I wear workout pants and a polo! On the weekends plain ol casual! So almost tearfully I squeeze on this knee length skirt, a nice shirt, & flats! I felt frumpy & out of place! & I couldn't really blame the husband because he said he didn't know, & he too was dressed "casual".


So anyway fast forward past the fancy limo ride complete with champagne, & we arrive! This party had those people walking around serving food, several open bars, & a Buffett of appetizers(the only good part of the evening! I still have dreams about that amazing coffee!) We were at a table with some people from a car company and some rose float members and they started asking how long we have been doing float and what our theme was...Uh What!? Can't a girl just enjoy her Mashtini!? I had NO answer for them and that is is exactly when I had that WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING HERE!? moment! All I know is a float costs around 75K to build & not to volunteer because they just put you to clean up! ha.


Anyone available to go business casual shopping!?


=(
