Okay so I've been wanting a second tattoo and waiting all summer so I'd be done with the pool and now the time has arrived! I figured it'd be perfect to do it on the divorce date, since it basically represents change and growth over the last year. So even though I'm not officially celebrating that today, I will still get the tattoo.
It's going to be a tree - here's kind of a detailed version. All seasons, me as the trunk (kind of). I'm going to have her put snow flakes and fall leaves blowing off the branches. I'm putting it on the back of my shoulder and she's working on a way of incorporating it into my existing constellation so they jive together. She does AWESOME work - this watercolor stuff that is vibrant and so pretty that she'll use on me too.

Wow doglove. I am not really a tattoo person but that is really cool.

I thought so, I made it through all the seasons and am in such a better place so I thought it was fitting for my journey. Trees lose their leaves, but everything grows back eventually and they still look pretty throughout all of the seasons! She's had to scale it down with details and colors because I only want it the size of my hand. So it'll probably not look quite the same.

I think I want a pedicure this weekend, but I'm trying not to spend unnecessary money... someone help me justify this!
I think pedicures are mandatory! It's an hour-ish of "me" time where you're being pampered and you can relax. I know I could paint my toes at home for nothing, but the experience of going, zoning out and getting a foot massage is well worth the $20-25. I justify the cost because I don't buy myself a lot of stuff because the kids' stuff comes first. And I can go quite a while between pedicures, so it's not a regular cost.

Yes, it is a relatively small expense for an hour of relaxation... and I haven't done it in a while, maybe I should just call it a mental health expense and go with it. Maybe it will help get me out of the funk I feel myself slipping into.

And, I'm assuming you guys have different places to go out there. If I go to a spa, it will easily cost me $60. But going to a nail salon is much cheaper! I think you can justify spending $30 on yourself. You'd spend that much going out to dinner, yes?

There are lots of places to go, one in particular that is very good. It's only about $25 and close to work. Maybe I'll just go after work and start the weekend off right. This is sounding like a better idea the more I think about it. ;-)
I have a wedding tomorrow, too. It's my new roomy's brother. Their family has some drama so it could be interesting. bullygirl979, we can communicate via bad dj's and awkward family moments.
Sunday is packing and watching Peaky Blinders. I might go to an event and meet up with some friends, but I have a feeling I'll want to relax.
AND, I'm on day 2 of new life plan, called Take Care of Self, Duh. So far so good! But it means no drinking or cake at the wedding, so that sucks.

Lol, gault. Text me if anything good happens. I told P to take solace in the fact that even if we go, we aren't staying the whole time as I doubt I'm going to make a miraculous total recovery in the next 24 hours. But, I must be feeling a bit better today as I just put a bra on for the first time since Tuesday. Granted, it's a comfy sports bra, but that counts for something, right?
I just want to tell people like this to save money on their wedding and just elope.
It is so funny, last time I was married I was SO focused on the wedding. Now, I couldn't care less. I want to do a JOP wedding, even though bowies has commanded me to do a small wedding in the Finger Lakes lol.
I just have a bad feeling about this marriage because it started with cheating (they met at a bar and were flirting and kissing while he had a long term, live in GF), they bicker quite a bit, and she is pretty eager to get married.
You can do a small JOP wedding overlooking a lake FYI. I'll come and drink your wine.
Ha, it seems so. I get short bursts of time to post during the day and I'm usually whining about my kid on MMM.
Well, now that you are here give us an update! How's the job/kid/hubby/life in general?
Life is good! Busy but no drama. I'm on a new team at work that is understaffed so I'm a thousand times busier now than I've been in the past 2 years. That's a good thing though! Kid is doing great. Walking, dancing, trying to talk. Teething. Ugh, teething is the WORST.

How goes it over here, what's the haps?
Good! Glad the new team is working out. And I love seeing pics of the kid, he is adorable!
Uh, I don't remember the last time I "talked" to you so sorry if this is redundant: sold my house, moved in with P, things are going great between us, got a new job that included a promotion and a raise so I bought a horse. You know, all sorts of boring stuff
