Tattoo

My brother and I are getting tattoos next Friday.

Right now, I have one on the inside of my ankle that I am not crazy about. It's a heart that's been broken down the middle and bound back up again. It's too plain; it needs something.

So Andy drew this up for me:



I need advice. Roses are trashy, right? But hearts are too, and I already have one of those. I might as well go all out. And I think it's kind of classic and elegant. I was thinking that maybe I should get another flower, but as Andy pointed out, the rose really lends itself to the heart shape.

Another decision I need to make is where to put it. Yes, I already have the heart on my ankle, but Marci (the tattoo artist) is brilliant with cover-ups. So I could get that changed at a later date. (I was even thinking of covering it up with a little Petunia, since that's what my grandma always used to call me.) Would the rose look good on my shoulder, or should I still get it on my ankle? It seems like it will need to be kind of big, and I don't want to have something huge on my ankle.

Finally, I need to decide black and white or color. I'm 90% sure I want black and white, but there's this little part of me that wants some color on me. Maybe I should just save that for the Petunia.

Maybe just a dusting of color around the outline of the flower

After working at David's Bridal, I've seen hundreds of brides trying to find a dress that covers a back tattoo. You may want to consider how you invision your someday wedding, before you decide on a shoulder tattoo.

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
