Friday Confessions - Hunger Games (Mockingjay) Tattoo Pic!

I must confess...

• I REALLY got a tattoo
• it is REALLY of a fictional bird
• and I REALLY love it!

 The bird is a mockingjay. It's a figment of author Suzanne Collins imagination and a symbol she uses in her Hunger Games series to represent strength, survival, and freedom. I had been wanting a bird tattoo for a while and knew that I didn't want the same thing everyone else had. When I caught a glimpse of this on the Internet, it just resonated with me. I think it also reprents living life under your own terms. I really connected with the books and the heroine of the books. I like things to be original and most of all have meaning. The night before last, my husband was trying to get me to convince him why he should like it, because he thought it was lame.

He thinks it's fantastic. (I knew he would.:) Jose @ Outsiders Ink (in Tulsa, OK) did this tattoo (as well as my "Twilight" tattoo). He is an amazing artist and gives great attention to detail. I highly recommend!

• We were at Outsiders for NINE hours! We all got a little bored after a while and I so took pictures of myself while sitting in the bathroom. Do NOT ask my why. I really have no idea.

• Remember those New Moon candies I was telling you about? I bought some...one of each (x3). I decided to break open one of the "Bellas". I'm not sure how many WW points they are, but I ate it anyway. Pretty tasty. I bet the Edward or Jacob one would have tasted better...maybe I'll give them a try.

Aren't they cute? They say "bella" w/ a Cullen crest.

• My good confession for the week: I was CRAVING Chili Cheese Fritos in the worst way on my way home this morning at 2:30AM. However, I did not cave. I did not go to QT and buy the "big bag". I wanted to and I wanted to chase them with a large cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper. Didn't...didn't do it.

Hope everyone is having a FABULOUS Friday! Enjoy your weekend!!

Weekend Re-Cap and TATOO pic!

So, I know I've kept you waiting a day longer than I had said. Yesterday was a crap day and I just did NOT feel like blogging. I have to be in somewhat of a good mood before I'll even start a post. I prefer my blog to have a happy vibe, rather than an emo-cutter-kinda-vibe. The weekend was eventful. Melissa and Michelle came to Oklahoma and Renee made her way up to Tulsa. Friday night we acted like wild and crazy girls like any good girls would who hadn't seen each other in a while or ever...and we celebrated...

...by getting tattoos...

I know you'll be in shock to find out that my tattoo is Twilight related...I'll give you a minute to compose yourself...I didn't go completely crazy and get Edward's profile or RobPattz signature, which some have done. I kept it simple. I had went through sooooooo many pictures of "Twilight tattoos", apples, fonts, "sparkles"...it got so confusing, but one thing I knew I wanted from the get-go was "frequently dazzled" in Edward's font. The phrase comes from one of my favorite parts in the first book. Bella tells Edward "you shouldn't do that to people." Edwards says " do what". Bella responds "dazzle them the way you do." Edward asks "do I dazzle you"? Bella responds "frequently". Ahhhhhh. Don't you just love that?! The apple came next, it just made sense. It has such meaning in the book, but can also have other meaning outside of Twilight. Inside the realms of Twilight it mostly refers to Bella being Edward's forbidden fruit...and how we often "crave" the things we can not have. Outside of Twilight it often reflects fertility, love, sensuality and sexuality, temptation and sin. The last thing I added was the "sparkles". Anybody who knows Twilight gets that. If you don't know...Edward sparkles...plus, it's "dazzling". PLUS, I needed something to fill out the tattoo.

The tattoo... (it's on my left side...think rib area)...I'll post a better one after it heals.

I've got a few more pics to share from the weekend, but I'll save them for another post. (Edward appears in a few of them...☺)

I know you're thinking I'm totally crazy right about now, so I won't throw any more at you today...I'll let the whole Twilight tattoo thing sink in first.

Hope everyone is have a great week so far!

Friday Confessions

So, IT's FRIDAY!! Woot woot! This is better than any Friday I've had in a LOOOOONNNNGGG time. 'Why' you might ask. Well, I'll tell you...in my confessions.

• Melissa (The Crazy Daisy) and her sister, Michelle, are flying HERE...TODAY...TO SEE ME!!! It's uber exciting. I don't even think exciting is the right word. I'm about to pee my pants. I can't wait.
• Tonight, I'm getting some new ink. No, not like a printer cartridge or a fancy shmancy pen...a tattoo! I'm almost as excited about this as I am my visitors. Seriously, how much excitement can a girl take in one day?!
• To make things EVEN better, my cousin, Renee (My Glimpse of Life) is coming up this weekend too to play with us...see, I'm telling you...I might pee my pants. She's meeting me here at my work in less that 2 hours! Then, we're driving to the airport to pick up Melissa and Michelle! It's ridiculous to be this excited. I can't help it.
• I stayed up until 3:00 am. It was like Christmas Eve and wondering what Santa was going to bring...except I already knew. I can't explain it, but it kept me awake.

Monday I'll give you all full details and pics of the weekend...well, most of it. You know the saying..."what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"? Well, that applies to Tulsa too. ;)

Hope everyone has a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend!!!
