Before and After

Before And 3 pretty painful hours later. Please quit looking at my saddlebags/lovehandles/spare tire. I promise to get back in the gym soon!!! ;)

Saturday already? :( I'm not ready to go home!

Only one more night and we'll be heading home from our visit with the family. :( It seems like the days and nights just flew by.

We've been cooking out, drinking beer (and Sparkletini, YUM!), and telling stories of way back when.
We usually stay at my aunt and uncle's house, but since Ashley has her own house now, I'm staying with her. Which is fun, I love this girl!
BUT, we are on totally different schedules!! Thursday night we put on "Skeleton Key" to watch and I fell asleep before it was over. She finished it AND watched the new "Indiana Jones". I was out and had no idea she was watching more movies, or that she got a blanket and covered me up. Sweet girl.

I woke up at 4:35 am, got off the couch and went to the guest bedroom and slept until 9. Of course, Ash didn't wake up until everyone started showing up for the next BBQ....at 11:00!!

Once again, last night (after Zac and Jack were asleep) we put on another movie..."Nightmare on Elm Street" (the original one). I got to the part where Johnny Depp dies and I was out.

Ash was working on my tattoo design and watching movies. I think I woke up once to her putting in a new movie. Once again, I woke up about 4:00 and went to the guest bedroom and fell back to sleep.

Zac woke me up at 7 a.m. I picked up around the house, loaded the dishwasher, and changed out the trash.
Now I'm sitting here, drinking coffee, playing around on the computer, waiting for this girl to wake up!!

Today we are going out to my aunt and uncle's, the kiddos are going to fish, we'll probably cook out again.....and I'm getting my tattoo today!!!!! Super excited.

I fell asleep before I had a chance to check out what she had done. All I told her was that I wanted was for her to add on to the one I already have.





I want it bigger and better....I want Zac's name (which I said to put Zack, that's how everyone else spells it...including Zac!) and I want honeysuckle. I LOVE honeysuckle. It's pretty, it's my favorite scent, and it reminds me of my childhood.
I can't wait to see what she has drawn up for me!!
Would it be rude to wake her up?? I guess I should let her be well rested before she inks me up, huh?? ;)

And let me just say.....yes, my tattoo is a "tramp stamp", BUT I got this tattoo FOURTEEN YEARS ago, before they were even popular and called "tramp stamps"!!!
BEFORE there were low rise jeans.
just sayin'!
So, my tattoo is actually up higher than a tramp stamp. Which is lame in itself, BUT....hopefully Ashley can fix it up.

Today's blog is brought to you by

...the number "8" and the letter "F".

The number 8. The number of patients we have today!!
The letter F. The first letter of my favorite word, Friday!!
Eight patients on a Friday!! That means a short day for us!! YAY!!

This month of March is bringing nothing but fun weekends ahead!!

Tomorrow my cousin Carrie is coming in town, so it's going to be a girls night out for me, Carrie, and Leah. :)
It's not often that we can all get someone to keep our kids at the same time!!

Next weekend? The annual St Paddy's Street Festival. That's always fun!

Then the next weekend? We're going to visit my aunt and uncle in Fairfield. We usually go in the summer, but we're going Spring Break this year. And we'll probably go this summer too!
So excited about this trip. My cousin Ashley just opened her tattoo shop!
She's going to ink me up and I can't wait!!
I have Gage's name on my back, she's going to add Zac's name.
And no telling what else. She's drawing me up some stuff and I can't wait to see what she's got for me!! :)

Not to mention the important people who have birthdays this month:
Marianne and Mickey
Lucia
Jack
