I finally took the plunge and got another tattoo. I only had to think about this particular one for three+ years. Also, if you have read before, I am now even tattoo wise... One on my left foot and one on my right hand. (if I was super clever I would reference the previous post about having to have an even number of tattoos and piercings on each side of my body. But I'm not clever today). Also I had to take my nose piercing out... Turns out I was allergic to the metal that they used... So it never did really heal right, even when I thought it was healed, it wasn't. It finally got so it was hurting... Soni took it out to see if it needed cleaned, and it drained. Super gross. When I went to put a plastic one in... It wouldn't let me. Lame.
So anyway. I don't think I will be getting another piercing any time zoo... Because I don't know what I would get now. I have two tattoos in mind that I want to get... But the next one won't be for two years, and the other one will be in three-ish years.
Now you know.
I might add a little to this one... Time will tell.

Happy VD

A few years ago my mom texted my on valentines day and said "happy VD". I took that as happy veenarial disease. Yes, I am aware that I'm not spelling that right but I can't figure it out. I told her that what it looked like and from then on every year mom says happy VD.
So I am passing in the VD greetings to you.

Vacation

Yes, I know it's been a while.
Get over it. I got rid of my laptop because I never used it... So any typing I do on my iPhone or iPod. Or the computer at work but I don't like to use those for personal things.

Anyway.

I'm on vacation in Florida, and it is glorious. We are staying at a kick-ass resort that has a million pools and is amazing. So far we have got to Harry Potter world at Universal Studios... And spent the day at the ocean playing. And just playing at the resort... There is a ton of stuff to do!!! Everyone else went to discovery cove today, but I needed alone time and has already planned on not going.

So now I am lying in a hammock enjoying the weather. I will hopefully attach a couple pictures...

Tv

We have a tv in every bedroom of this house. But none in a living room. My 7 year old cousin recently asked what we do when we are all in the living room together :).
I thought I should start off 2012 by posting something completely ridiculous.
Mission accomplished.

I had over two weeks off of work.
It made me crazy.  Good thing I am back this week... I have to work a double today... and then nights tomorrow.  It's okay though... I was bored out of my mind.

The other day when I was working evenings... I went to the gift shop on my break to look around shop for christmas presents.
When I went in there was a couple ladies talking about politics, one was the lady that works there, and the other was the lady was visiting someone.  They were both of the older retiree age, late 60's early 70's.
As I was checking out the lady that didn't work there asked me point blank who I was going to vote for.   I kinda grimaced and said I didn't know, I didn't like any of the candidates.  She immediately got a very worried look on her face and said that it is VERY important that I vote because this affects my generation the most.  I agreed with her, but said I just wasn't that impressed with anyone, I just knew that I wanted the current president out of office.  She was very happy that I said that.  "You need to be praying about who to vote for, and pray for getting this guy out of office."  I again agreed with her... and kinda looked away so she would get that I was ready for this conversation to end... And then she goes, "are you a born again Christian?"  I whipped my head around and said yes right away, because I was thinking holy crap... look at the cahones on this old bird!  She nodded her head and said "yes, I could see the light of God sparkling in your eyes."  Then she kept talking about praying and that being a believer was the most important thing... and how the female candidate was a fellow believer.
What a sweet old lady!
But I have been pondering this conversation since then.
How do I be more vocal about my beliefs?  I am constantly afraid of persecution, especially where I work.  How do I be like the old lady, willing to talk to anyone about what I strongly believe in?
I know I don't have the answers right now... I will just have to keep thinking on them!

Thanksgiving

This is only a few days late... Like almost a week... But happy thanksgiving!

You don't appreciate your knees until your without one

So yesterday I was walking to human resources at work to interview for another position. As I was walking I tripped on a rock and fell on another rock on my knee. I honestly didn't think much of my knee and wad more worried that my pants were dirty and I scuffed my favorite shoes. When I got there I went to the bathroom and checked my knee out... It was a little bloody, but I wasn't that worried.
I went into HR and asked for some tape... And told the girl why... And she wanted me to see the nurse quick. So I was just like ok no big deal. The nurse came in a looked at my knee and said"oh you need to have that checked out.". I still didn't think it was that big of a deal... And I didn't want to go to the ER and have to pay a huge deductible so I tried to get into my doctors office which was just a block away. Turned out they were all still at lunch... So I had to go to the ER anyway.
I got checked in any everything no problem... The nurse comes in to clean it and it HURT. Like I thought I was just a scrape up until that point, but when she put water on it I wanted to cry. She was just like we can wait till the doctor gets here and numbs it up and then clean it.

So I started writing this almost a week ago... I would have finished it but it is harder than I thought to type on my phone and try to finish a post.

Anyway.
Long story short I have been in a leg immobilizer for the last week. It is super annoying to have that thing in my leg and not be able to walk prppey. It takes me forever to get anywhere, an I have to put the seat almost flat in my car to get in and out.

Did I mention that there are only three stitches? Yeah.
All that for three stitches.
Anyway... I glad to have this posted finally... I don't know why it has been weighing on me so much, but it has.
On the craptastic upside, I haven't worked all week because of the potential to get hurt at work... So now I won't get to go on a ten day vacation in January like I thought, if at all.
Anyway...
Hopefully I will be able to pictures in... And if not... Too bad!
