Tattoo Tour
I’ve shared my tattoos in various posts, but I thought I’d put them all in one post. That way, I have them all in one place for future reference. All of my tattoos have some sort of meaning behind them. Well, except for one. You’ll see why. I’ll try to put these in chronological order.… →

Please Study Your U.S. Geography
“Something Good” Sunday Tattoo Day has come and gone. Today is now tattoo “recovery” day. Recovery would be going a lot better if I could stop knocking my leg into hard surfaces. The two pieces I got yesterday are on either side of my calf, which is the perfect level to bang into my bed… →

Blue Freedom Flowers
I am a spender of money. I come by it honest. Growing up I learned from my mom how to go shopping and buy new things and then sneak the bags into the house before my dad could see and ask questions. That mentality has been in stark contrast to how Josh grew up when… →

Because this one today feels very familiar and because I know I’ve given serious answers before, let me offer some wisdom to young people about to get their first tattoo. But let me not… →

Tenderized, But Beautiful

Heeding Ferris’ Advice
“Something Good” Sunday There have been several good things that happened this week. We started working in-person at my job and I have enjoyed being in the office with my coworkers. They’re a hoot. I’ve been going to the gym and walking/running on the treadmill. It’s actually a harder workout on that than road running.… →

Tattoos, What Else?
Screenshot Saturday My Timehop today showed me a screenshot that I saved a year ago today: I saved it while sitting in the tattoo shop waiting for my third appointment on my blue flowers. I posted it to Facebook with commentary about how I was feeling awesome and that I kick ass and the tattoo… →

Vehicles, Tattoos, and Pets
An unlimited budget, huh? This is kind of like those questions about what you would do if you won the lottery. These answers have to be a little more creative since there’s only 24 hours. Can’t get contractors and repair men out to make all the renovations and upgrades to our house that are needed… →

Fun and Whimsy
BONUS Screenshot I saved this screenshot on this day last year. Today especially, I feel like 13 year old me would look at what I did today and be in total awe that I am who she will grow up to be. And that’s because I got another tattoo today. It has been almost a… →
