It’s been a long week. A long cold week. Just when I thought I had my power back on Friday, and posted about it, the Electrical company took it back. Bastards. I had power for about an hour when the world went dark again, and it wasn’t fully restored until Saturday morning. The good news is, I have had power for 24 hours straight now so I am going to assume all is now well.
It had better be. Or I may hurt somebody.
As a special treat for all of your patience, and encouragement (and let’s not forget about the gloating over warm temperatures) I twisted myself into a pretzel and attempted to take a picture of my fresh tattoo. Because I’m a technical moron, I haven’t yet loaded my new software for the snazzy new camera my husband bought me so I had to play contortionist in front of my iMac and snap pictures of the side of my head.
While the photographic (and artistic) quality may be lacking, the evidence is not. Now the world, not just Mama Tulip who talks dirty to me on a regular basis, can see my sound lack of judgment for themselves.
My niece informed me yesterday that I am turning punk. (Good thing she doesn’t know about the nipple rings.) I really need to get a skull and crossbones tattooed somewhere so that I may live up to her visions of me.
Not only do you get the to enjoy the cheese I present to you, but you can oogle my neck and make snide comments about how I’m going to be a wrinkled old woman with a penis on the side of her neck. (So says my sister.) Apparently, all tattoos start to resemble a penis once you hit a certain age. (So says my sister.)
Go nuts, enjoy. I have power, heat and a husband sound asleep in my BED. Life doesn’t get much better than that.
The Founding Fathers were sitting around a table sometime in 1776, working on the constitution. It had been a long day.
Father1: Whew! It’s getting rather warm in here, isn’t it?
Father2: Shall I open the window?
Father1: No, that’s alright. I’ll just take off my jacket, and roll up my sleeves.
Father2: Hey, that’s a good idea. Why don’t we include that in the constitution?
Father1: What? That we’re allowed to take our jackets off and roll up our sleeves while at work?
Father2: Yeah, but that doesn’t sound very smooth. How about “Everyone shall have the right to bare arms?”

I love that!! I often thought about getting one on my neck somewhere… but the idea of a needle that close to my brain kinda creeps me out a bit. Eh, one of these days.
And yer cheese? Stinks as always my friend. Glad you seem to be back from the dark side, for good.

I love it when the younger ones refer to “punk”. Like they know “punk”! Probably the closest thing to punk now is Green Day and that’s too commercial to be punk.
Oh, and please stay away from the skull-n-bones. That’s not punk, that’s white trash.

You know I LOVE it, and that it makes me want to get my tattoos even more (I’m going for a consultation at the shop this week).
I think you should get skulls and crossbones. You could ROCK that tat.
deb
Nice tattoo and I liked the pun. Americans make a lot more sense now.

I’ve been wrestling with the “where” to put a tattoo. I’ve never gotten one, but now that I am over 40, why wait? The back of my neck was one option – I am just a wimp, and am afraid it will hurt.
carrie
Wow, you are brave. That is a beautiful tattoo and I know it must’ve hurt . . . there’s no way I couldn’t made it through the process (without lotsa booze)! Enjoy!
carrie
um, I meant to say “could’ve”.

Let’s just be glad they don’t have the right to arm bears…
slouching mom
Y’know, I like it!
And I didn’t expect to, so that’s really saying something!
Jellyhead
Here I was expecting something dark, but it’s such a pretty tattoo. I hope Boo isn’t mad. Glad you have him back, if only briefly.

Just found your site yesterday and could not stop reading. I laughed so hard at your more recent posts.
Then I saw your other blog and sat up reading, through tears, way later than I should have. Bless your hearts! I wish you the best – lots of blessings.
Keep that sense of humour flowing – it rocks!

It’s a beautiful tattoo. You have the longest neck! So let’s face it, if it does turn into a penis, at least it will be a long dangly one.

Hey — did anyone else notice Redneck Mommy looks like she’s not wearing a top in the photos?!
Is this a preview for when you lose that bet (hint: award)? LOL
Wendy
Chuckle. Groan.
The tattoo is nice. Can you say nice about a tattoo? However, not what I would imgaine you would get. It seems a little dainty and pretty. I thought you would get something more dangerous and punky.
bon
dude, you are freaking bold. i hadn’t expected colourful stars and music notes down the side of your NECK! (your admittedly make-me-green-with-envy very looooong lovely neck…purrrrrr)
did i ever mention i have a tattoo too? y’all should c’mon up and see me sometime…i’ll show.
enjoy Boo.
Redneck Mommy
Good eyes, Tiger Lamb. I am indeed, topless in that pic. And I am NOT going to lose my BET. The award yes, but the BET, never.
I never lose.
BWHAHAHAH!
Tracy
I’d like to know HOW your sister knows that tattoos look like a penis when you age. She been pulling an Anna Nicole lately?
VERY cute! And hubby is home? YAY!! Love the ink. Can’t wait to get MY new one to share with You!
Electricity is totally overrated. I CAN bake a cake without my Kitchen Aid, I just don’t WANT to.
Gette
That’s a reverse image, right? The tattooist did not put backwards musical notes on you, right?
Kristin
Ok, all I have to say is that you have a lovely swan neck and poor little Melinda Doolittle of American Idol couldn’t have teeny star or music note as her head rests squarely on her shoulders.
Denice
Gorgeous tattoo! I would love to get one, but every time I think about it seriously, I can’t decide where to put it. How much did it hurt to put it there?????
