Six Feet Under

Another show I found on HBO2go is Six Feet Under.  The truth is, what caught my eye is one of the actors in the photo:  Peter Krause!  Peter currently plays Adam Braverman on the show Parenthood (on of my favorite shows, I'll blog about that eventually I'm sure).  Ok, so I started watching it because I wanted to see something else Peter had been in.

The show is a little dark and twisted...I'm into season four and I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but I can't seem to stop watching it.

My Day Today

Today was a day that was just all over the board crazy.  The fact that I'm an emo girl was the icing on my personal crazy cake!

I had a pretty good day at work.  The boss surprised me with a raise.  Nothing says I appreciate your hard work, and I know you are doing your best to help make this practice a success.  It means a lot and well, it just means a lot.

I got to take off early today because Melanie and the kiddos were coming for a visit!  I got home and had time to do some last minute de-furring and dinner prep.  Then I had my emo crash.

See, I'm ok

Happy Place

Those of you that know me know that I grew up in a small town on the coast.  Every fiber of my being wanted to live anywhere but there.  Now that I am "grown up" (ha ha ha!!) and live elsewhere, I find that I *need* to be near the ocean.  Not all the time.  But I need to go there to recharge/reset/gain balance.  My wonderful husband understands that, and finds the same calm there I do.  We recently had one of these getaway/recharge weekends and here are some pictures from that lovely time.

I Got Sucked In...

That will be funny to you in a minute.

My super awesome husband signed us up for HBO many months ago so we could get in on the Game of Thrones goodness.  We had all of season one to enjoy, and we did.  Twice!  The bonus to signing up for HBO was HBO2go.  This meant much of the goodness that is HBO could be enjoyed on our iPad, laptops, etc.  Suddenly I found I had access to all these movies and series.  Still with me?  I'm working my way to my point.

Who's Got My Back?

These ducks do!

Finished and healed!

I love them!

This was my first tattoo, and it was a really wonderful experience.  I love the finished work; just thinking about them being their makes me smile!  Alena S. Chun was amazing to work with.  Icon Tattoo, where Alena works, is an awesome place!  All of the artists are amazing and talented, and the feel like a happy tattoo family, which makes the vibe there just awesome.  I can't say enough about the shop or Alena!  She was very easy going and calming, for me (a self proclaimed worry wart) she was the perfect person to work with.  Getting to know her, and finding out we had some similar book, tv, movie and music taste made the appointments feel more social fun and less like a tattoo appointment where I might experience some pain. This is not going to be my last tattoo.  I see how they can be addictive.  Hopefully this will not be my last with Alena either.  I look forward to working with her again, and adding her artistic interpretation of what ever plant or critter I decide I want next!  I also have to thank my sweet husband-as this tattoo was his birthday present to me (he asked me what I wanted, and didn't really flinch when I told him a duck tattoo).  He knows the story, and what this tattoo means to me.  Thank you. <3

I Am Horrible About Posting

I have things I could be writing about, but then I get so sucked into things that apparently I can't be bothered to take the time to write about any of them.  I'm going to try to be better about sharing the things I'm into-while I'm into them.  It's all about balance, and dang it, I'm going to figure it out.  This elusive balance thing will not escape me forever.

David is out of town this week.  It will be good for me to focus, and share the exciting world of Sookie Stackhouse or Fisher & Diaz with you all (or y'all as Sookie would say).  Also, I really need to do some dishes.  I think I should start there.  Dishes.  Hockey.  Sookie.  I'm a girl with a plan...
