Someone once asked me what all my tattoos meant, and I did a terrible job explaining them, because I am not great with words and I am shy. So, for anyone who cares, here you go...

This was my first tattoo, I was 19. Album artwork from the Smashing Pumpkins Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness CD. That album had a ton of influence on...

Good to have the back story on your ink. Sadly rats do seem to be so cancer prone. Had to tend my kid sisters rats through their final days. My daughter became a forever home to 2 in Jan.

Today was a day of some firsts for me. 1] a dog was in a house fire, we had him in an oxygen cage for several hours. He was super sweet. I reek of fire now. He's ok, just some smoke inhalation. 2] I had to deal with a belligerent client who kept increasing the volume of his yelling. When prompted with 'and who are...

@cvtgrrl_shan  Having done various forms of retail/customer service for most of my life, I can symapthize. Somewhere along the line, I think I got numb, now it's just humorous how stupid some of them can be.  Straight faced and professional pisses them off, and being pleasent while they scream at you, well, that's my favorite.  Hope you have a great weekend, and don't think about how much of an ass that dickhead will still be.

@jaxons trust me, I've worked with the public aplenty. I've been called every name in the book, worst was probably 'a fucking cunt', that guy was pretty shitty, and pretty drunk. I learned to brush it off back then, but like I said, I'm out of practice. The front end staff are the ones who deal with angry clients. I apologized to the guy, he didn't like that too much. They never do.

Wait, I got blocked because I politely declined someone? So much butthurt!! 😂😂

@oxy he just took a comment I made the wrong way, then blocked me after I told him said comment was meant jokingly. It just seems a little silly to be blocked for it. Maybe he was embarrassed.

Ok y'all, I've been pretty down/negative recently, and I thank you all for bearing with me and putting up with me. I can be a needy, whiny girl. To those I annoyed the most, you know who you are, thank you dearly, seriously, like super cereal. I'm going to eat a bowl of ramen [super healthy, right?] and maybe nap. This cold is kicking my...

The first week of Februrary is over. It's cathartic to talk about it, so continue to read if you wish.

Tuesday I had an anxiety attack at work. Wednesday was my gram's birthday, first since she passed. I tried my best to not think about it. Didn't work. I cried all day. I cried when I pulled into the parking lot at work. A doctor...

Aww @caraphernelia thank you! I'm super tired and I think I'm getting sick. I'm currently sitting in front of a fireplace nearly setting my back on fire. I'm cold. My job is stressful but rewarding. I like to think I'm good at what I do, especially when doctors ask for my opinion on a case.
caraphernelia:
That must be because you're really good :3 Take care of that cold though :o and don't burn your back :3

I think this is an 'either or' questionnaire, but a lot if these get a 'neither' response from me, so I'll be creative.

1. Who are you named after? No one, but my gram always said the river in Ireland
2. Last time you cried? Wednesday, on and off all day
3. Pop or water? Coffee!
4. What is your favourite lunch meat? Salami

Replaced by a newer, shinier, prettier, better version? Like you're being tossed aside, played with and now grown bored of?

@caraphernelia you nailed it lady! I really should. I jump to conclusions a lot, assume things [most times incorrectly], and especially if I am in a negative state of mind. I also go off of what's not being said/done instead of what actually is.
caraphernelia:
Yeah I understand that, I am like that a little too but it's so important to confirm with the person before you jump to conclusions :3

Is not a good month for me. It's been less than a year since my grandma passed, her birthday is Feb 1st, she would have been 93. One of my grandpas died on his 54th birthday Feb 19, 1999. The other, the one I was closest to, who helped raise me, died Feb 25, 2002, he was 73. His death was sudden and unexpected. He...

@chefdaddy yes! Because I won't even be thinking about it, I'll be concentrating on something else and then my brain decides it wants to have an anxiety attack. And I'm such a sensitive person, so when someone shows me sympathy I immediately turn into a crying, grateful mess.
dmaxis006:
Im sorry, miss. Hope it does get better soon for you.

It's not that @littlejohn22, it's that he just seems incapable of being considerate. I don't mean that he's an asshole, I mean that he just doesn't think. He can be so dense. He's not creative. I literally have to tell him 'this is what I want' 'do ____' because it seems as if he never learned how to treat a lady in that department. In 12 years I can think of maybe 3 occasions, birthday or xmas, when I didn't have to give him gift ideas for myself. He actually thought of something on his own, and it was great. I just get so let down when I have to tell him to do everything

I do wish more men were better at thinking of other people, shine bright you

My weekend seemed to be a good one. Saturday I slept late-ish, relaxed, did a little housework. Managed to stay up late [1 a.m.] and watch some TV.

Sunday I slept in. Did some shopping for myself. I took myself out to dinner and bought myself drinks! I didn't even expect to put out for it, but I did 😂

I have lots of wings

I'm more of a beer chick @wickedargyle but I couldn't turn down moonshine, especially apple pie flavored. I had some homemade [not me] a few years ago and it was so delicious, he made it with Everclear, couldn't even taste the alcohol.
wickedargyle:
Homemade Shine is the bomb! I attend a local biker party every year, and the guys there make the besssst Apple Pie. 😍😍😍
