tattoo love...

So..... I have no pain tolerance at all. I was 21 getting my ears pierced for the 2nd time and I cried like a baby....when getting my eyebrows threaded i grab tissue to get me through.... if I get a paper cut I am out of commission for the rest of the day....

Needless to say a tattoo will NEVER be in my future (which I know my mom is incredibly grateful for.)

This does not, however, keep me from dreaming what I would get if I were super woman ( a small bird on the top/side of my foot) and drooling over those cute and creative tattoos out there......

beautiful colors!

i REALLY love this.... ALOT

gah so great!

She is GORGEOUS! love her personality. I can not even imagine what all her tats mean!

precious.

cupcake love.

Happy Friday! Bring on spprrriinnngg!

great read.....


I got "Forfeiting All Sanity" in the mail today! I had posted HERE about this amazing book written by Jennifer. I was her nanny in college and this book is about her raising precious Ashley. I got home today, opened this book and did not set it down until I was done. I am so incredibly blessed to have been (and still be) a part of this amazing family!

Ashley was diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome after Jennifer and her husband David adopted her.

I can only hope to be half the parent these two are. They are the most incredible people ever!

Please read up about Jennifer and the rest of the Taylor Clan HERE

me and ash
Ashley.... I can not wait to see in two weeks at your cheer competition. I love you to the moon and back!

List your self Tuesday (ok Wednesday)

Man, I have been MIA for a few days. I apologize!

update, update....

1. lost another 3 pounds this week at WW so that is 8.8 total in 4 weeks.

2. the weather is AWFUL here in Dallas... pretty sure we don't know what the sun looks like and we are going to go into deep depression if it doesn't show its face soon.

3. the Grammys made me fall in love with Lady GaGa. She is crazy, but brilliant.

4. I love when we get new residents at the hospital.... we send them into the "more difficult"
kids rooms, wait for screaming, then go in to save the day. I love being a Child Life Specialist!

5. I admire nurses.... i could NEVER do the things they do. They are HEROS

6. I missed yesterday's List so....

List yourself Tuesday (on wed.)

List all the fads that you embraced while growing up....
1. bangs. The bigger the better!
2. side ponytails
3. New Kids on the Block
4. Jellies
5. t-shirts tied to the side
6. stirrup pants (to go with #5)
7. POGS
8. Hanson (especially Taylor MMM.....bop!)
9. Doc Marten sandals (those suckers were heavy)
10. Denim shirts with Khaki shorts (you know, with tall white socks and platform keds)
