So I read this story yesterday about a girl who supposedly went to have 3 star tattoos put on her face, but “fell asleep” and ended up with 56 stars. I don’t believe her. How the heck do you fall asleep while getting tattoos ALL OVER YOUR FACE? (unless you are really, really, really drunk…)  I think she went home, her dad or boyfriend or whoever freaked out, so she made up this lie. Now she’s suing the tat artist for the cost of the laser removal surgery. Um, you’d think that if you were unhappy with your tat that you’d NOT pay for it, throw a huge fit, somethin… But whatever… The guy said she’s lying, but that he’ll pay 1/2  just because she’s dissatisfied.  I’m thinking he probably doesn’t see what the big deal is…

Anyway…  I’m pretty sure this story and the fact that I was emailing Brandy - check out her tattoo work at Stitchblade Designs-  about tattoos. Then I was talking to Sei about tattoos. To put it in his words he’s “...a little old fashioned when it comes to things like tattoos…” I think all that combined lead to my dream. I dreamed I was  going to get Seiuli’s name tattooed on my shoulder. No Cool Story was the tattoo artrist– inside a big tent. Apparently I fell asleep. When I woke up I had SEIULI tatted right above my butt in like the Mexican style writing and then my ENTIRE BUTT was tatted with a spiderweb.  It was a horrible sight! It looked like someone took chocolate syrup and poured it over a huge pile of cottage cheese.  Oh… yuck. I woke up a little traumatized, I think.

What do you think? Do you think she really fell asleep, woke up, paid for the tattoo all while planning to sue? Or do you think she asked for that tat and then regretted it?

Don’t forget to enter my giveaway for a new custom blog header by Stitchblade Designs!!

First of all… let me remind y’all to go enter my giveaway for a new blog header by Stitchblade Designs. Go on… I’ll wait…

….

Ok thanks.   Today I am stepping back up on my SOAPBOX to discuss something. I’ve been SUPAH bugged all week because of a few groups I found on Facebook.  But they deserve a lot more than a Tad Award, so I’m just gonna gripe about them. The groups are called “F**k the Police.”  Except it didn’t have the **. Ok, seriously?? These groups are all about how police suck and how they should all die, etc… And what made me laugh is that most of the people commented where whining about getting a ticket. Um… Ok?? But the groups alone aren’t what got me. There were links people had posted to youtube to videos of police brutality.  Some of the videos were bad. I admit it: There are some total jacka$$es that are cops and they are on a total power trip. There are others that get caught up in the moment of getting a total BAD GUY off the street and they don’t follow correct procedures. Yes- crap like that happens. BUT IT IS RARE. More often than not you are only seeing one side of the story. But whatev. There was a comment a $&#^@*&^  on one of these videos that had me in tears. I’m sure y’all have noticed, but I LOVE my husband. I do. He is awesome. He’s my hero.   So when I read this comment, I lost it. This loser said, “Hey kids, do something with your life: KILL A COP.  Oh, and make sure it’s one with a family.”  Speech.less. I know the person who wrote that was an absolute idiot, but still. SERIOUSLY!!?!???  Sei told me “Don’t let it get to you.” Um, ok. So… I’ve done what I can. I joined a few groups on FB like “Remove F**k the Police from Facebook” and reported a few of those bad pages, etc… Idk if it’ll do anything, but atleast I feel like I did something. “Don’t let it get to you.” PFFT! Too late.

I am now stepping off my SOAPBOX and opening the floor to you.  What has REALLY been bugging you lately??  Step on up on the soapbox and get it off your chest.

Soooo…??!?!?? What do you think??? Does my blog  just look SUPER RAD or what???  Brandy, over at Stitchblade Designs is so talented. And PATIENT. I had to ask so many questions and can be really indecisive and obnoxious and she didn’t go insane (that I know of…)  You see my lil bald cop/Seiuli, at the top? Yes- the original pic had curly blonde hair & no badge.  My girl Brandy worked her magic and Wa-La, my man was bald with a badge, just like in real life.  And the chick had black hair. Niiiice. Does the blog  just capture ME or what???

You MUST, MUST, MUST go check out her blog at Not So Average Mama and visit Stitchblade Designs to have her do your blog or other website. She’s awesome.

Oh, oh, oh and stay tuned because next week I will be announcing an awesome GIVEAWAY that you won’t wanna miss.  It has to do with blogs…. and Stitchblade Designs… ooooh…. aaaaahhh….

• Tristan, Alec and Isabel are at the ex’s now. Let’s just hope there’s not a repeat of last summer.
• Sei and I went to dinner and a movie with my brother and SIL. Ok, DON’T see “Drag Me To Hell.” You will lose brain cells. I jumped a lot, but I think I laughed more than anything. A goat talked in it- if that helps you decide NOT to go see it. On a positive note, the “Mac” guy is in it. He’s cute.
• I have some major excitement coming up on my blog. I can hardly wait!!!! Visit Stitchblade Designs and Not So Average Mama for a clue. Not So Average Mama is also hosting another cool giveaway you should check out- especially if your child wears glasses!! Check it out HERE.
• Lakers are in the finals. I live with Sei- the Kobe fan. Gag. But I did read THIS and it made me feel a lil better. Please read some of the comments and take the poll!!
• I’ve been cutting carbs a lot and have lost a few pounds this week. I’ve been doing it without diet pills, but I’m not above using them. I wanna look good on vacation!!
• Taj found an old birdcage and naturally he has his pet FROG inside it. I love my Tajy.
• Speaking of Taj, he’s quite the swimmer. He’s been swimming floaty-less since last summer. This year he swims underwater a lot, which is cool but scares me at the same time. Here’s a short video of him. No looking at my husband.
