Blog Challenge: Day 14: What Is In My Handbag?

Easy peasy blog for today! I am not currently carrying a handbag. I am currently carrying a little clutch wallet. Therefore, the contents are as follows: Bank cards, ID, Reward cards, Receipts and my cell phone. That is it. WOOHOO!!

Off to start my day!

Later Taters!

Blog Challenge: Day 13: Favorite Quote

Well, since you asked....if you have ever listened to me talk, or read my blog, you will notice that there is an abundance of Fuck You, Fuck That, Fuck 'Em, and Fuck 'Em All. Yep. That's about how I feel most days. Thanks to a very old and dear friend for finally driving that concept into my stubborn, scattered and mostly inattentive brain. (Insert heart here, since blogger seems to think that I am trying to insert some fucked up html bullshit.)

Tomorrow, I will blog early, because I will be MIA for a little over 24 hours. Don't ask. I will tell you all about it later.

Kisses!

Blog Challenge: Day 12: If I Won The Lottery

The lottery you say? Oh HELL YES. If I won the lottery, I'd be one rich bitch. I mean, I'm just sayin', if I were to WIN the lottery, it would be the Mega Millions, because, honestly, that's the only one I ever play, and I really only play when the jackpot is ginormous.

First thing I would do is set up a trust account for each of my children. (They need a secure future.) The second thing I would do is pay off this damn mortgage! The third thing I would do is go get a brand new vehicle. Then, I would spread my wealth by getting homes for family members. Because, I am nice like that. With what is left, I would put into some kind of investment so that I could just live off of the interest.

I will give you a warning. The first butthead that asks me for money is getting CUT OUT. DONE. Don't ask me, I will eventually know your situation, and if I find you deserving enough, you will be granted some of my fortune.

And, that's a wrap.

I am off to elevate my ankle as per my Dr. Tattoo Artist J-Love prescribed.

Blog Challenge: Day 11: Most Proud Moment

Today we are supposed to blog about our most proud moment. You know, I don't really think I have ONE moment that I am most proud of. I have several. Perhaps I should share them with everyone? Yes? That's what I thought you would say. Well, let's start from the beginning.

1. I learned how to walk. Yep, THAT was a proud moment in my life. I don't remember it, but, I bet you any amount of money I thought I was the SHIT. I can STILL walk. Sometimes I stumble a little, but, that learning curve is a BITCH. Just sayin'.
2. I started school teeniney and adorable, and finished smokin' hot. Yep. Just a few awkward years thrown in the middle. Overall, I was either the cutest thing, or the most GAWGEOUS. Looking back on it now, I realize, DAMN, I was HOT. What the hell was wrong with all those asshole boys in my school? Oh, that's right, they were intimidated by me. I was the “untouchable”. Yeah, we are going with that. Dispute it, I dare you.
3. I fell in love, and was fallen in love with. More than once. Those stories are best reserved for a different blog, a different time and most likely in a different universe.
4. I had my heart shattered, and repaired it. It took years, but, I did it.
5. I have learned countless life lessons. Currently working on letting go. Again, previous blog. Read it or continue to be lost on this analogy. You choose. Be informed, or be ignorant.
6. I have 3 children that are AMAZING little humans. They may be crazy, out of control little monsters now, but, I KNOW they will be AWESOME adults.
7. I made my mark in the world of Secretaries. No one will EVER measure up to me. Just ask my previous boss. She loves me. Every time she talks to me, she says how much she misses me. No one has ever held a candle to me. (Insert inflated head here.)
8. I have been an excellent friend. Sometimes I suck at it, but overall, I'm pretty a amazing friend.
9. I have learned how to stand up for myself. (If you know me at all, you will know this is no small feat. I have been a doormat since day 1.)
10. I am a pretty awesome sister, daughter and grand daughter. At least that's what I have been told. It may be that they love me and want me to feel good, but, I think I am, and that's what is important right?

There you have it. Most proud moments of my 35 years of life. Boiled down to 10. I'm sure I could have gone on and on, but, I will spare you the boredom of me bragging about myself.

I wish you all an amazing, wonderful, fantastical day. I know I will have one!

Summer trip planning in the works. Can't wait.

LATERS!

Blog Challenge: Day 10: First Celebrity Crush

I decided I am going to be brutally honest here and tell you that I have absolutely NO idea who my first celebrity crush was. Since I was limited as to what I was allowed to watch on the TV, it was probably Captain Kangaroo, but, since I really don't want to own that, I am gonna go with Kirk Cameron. Face it, he was a hottie. He may be the damn conductor of the crazy train now, but, back then, he was adorable. I was probably plotting to marry him and have his crazy caboose babies. Whatever.

This topic has brought about a whole plethora of celebrity crushes. As a young girl, they were as follows:

Joey McIntyre

Chad Allen

Rob Lowe

Judd Nelson

and probably countless others. Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

NOW, I have several celebrity crushes. I have a whole pinterest board dedicated to them. It's titled: You Can't Have Him, I Licked Him First. They are Mark Salling (I heard he is gay, however, I am still denying this.), Chris Hemsworth, Jason Aldean (My official country music boyfriend.), Tyler Florence (My official Food Network boyfriend.), Matthew McConaughey, Eric Dane, Ryan Reynolds, Patrick Dempsey, Josh Lucas, Shemar Moore, Vin Diesel (Just to lick his ripply muscles.) and Will FREAKIN' Smith.

If any of you fine men are SINGLE and looking (really, I don't care if you are looking or not), I'm right here. I will be more than willing to allow you to take me out to dinner. Just my humble offer. After all, I am a princess, and who doesn't want to take a princess to the ball?

I'm outtie. Lots to do, little time to do it in. Preparing for the summer of #epic13!!!

Blog Challenge: Day 9: Piercings and Tattoos?

     Yes please!!! I have my ears pierced and I have 4 tattoos. 4 of the most amazing, awesomesauce tattoos                    you have ever in your life seen. I have one on my back, one on each wrist and one on my ankle. I have some pictures. They aren't the best, they were taken with my phone tonight after a LONG day. Just go with it.

1. First tattoo ever. Back tat. Hip to hip, half way up my spine. AMAZING. I ADORE IT. If you don't, FUCK YOU.
   
   
   
2. Second Tattoo. Let go with a dandelion blowing in the breeze and a heart. I got this because I harbor so much hate, anger and resentment, and at 35, I had a major cathartic moment. Go back and read that blog. You missed some serious shit.
   
   
   
3. My friendship bracelet tattoo on my ankle. I got bestie tattoos with the Banana that I blogged about, if you didn't read that blog, I'm not sure why you are here. Shame on you if you haven't read that blog.
   
   
   
4. Semi colon. I got this to remind me that my story is not over. God is not finished with me yet. Keep chugging along, the story WILL get better.
   

   

   
   
   
   
   
   
   There they are. All courtesy of my amazing artist, J-Love. Now, the Anklet and the semi colon need to be fixed, and I am planning on getting that done this week. So, that's my story. Like them or not, they are permanent.
   
   
   Later taters,

Blog Challenge: Day 8: Old Photo Of Me

Well, well, well. Since my mom has almost all of my old photos, I had to go with one that I recently was tagged in on Facebook. It isn't THAT old, but, old enough. This was taken about 13 years ago. I was young, and cute, and a new mom. We were doing a scrap day at my sisters house. I am on the left, Bebe is in the middle and on the end is my dear friend Mari.

There you go. The oldest photo of me you are gonna get. Eat it up.

Love and Kisses on a dreary, stormy day.
