June Thirteenth…

 

I shared some pictures on Facebook for Throw Back Thursday of me of birthdays past… so sharing here too…

12th birthday…

13th birthday…

This will be son3 next month…

16th birthday…

20th birthday…

This was son2 this past January…

For a while now I have been wanting to do something special since it was going to be my 50th birthday, something to remember it by…

Something that even if others disagreed it would be something that I gave myself permission to do…

Once I decided what I was going to do, I talked to lots of people at work as they had all done it already… of course they all said I should do it…

I also knew son1 would take me as he has done it seven times before… He even helped pay as it was my present from him and DIL…

He was actually jealous while we were there as he wants another one… lol

Now unless you scrolled down and peeked already, or even guessed, here is what I did…

I got a tattoo!!

Did it hurt… Yes! some parts worse then others, some parts not at all…

Did I smile through the whole thing, yes I did…

Son1 was with me and took the pictures…

The picture on the left was half way through before the color…

The picture on the right was after we got home and took off the band aide…

Son1 took me out for a Slurpee afterwards…

The ankle part hurt the worst and coloring in the rose…

It was hard walking last night but this morning is better…

Kinda like when you get a sunburn, you don’t want anyone to even look at it for fear they will touch it and the skin is tight and pulls when you move..

After a couple of days it will be better, then no sun or submerging in water for two weeks (showers ok) and a whole month before it is totally done healing…

This is after I washed it, the ankle is still swollen…

The butterfly is from a photo that hubby took and the rose is from a photo I took in the yard… then hubby did that art work that he does from the computer to paper… the tattoo artist then made a transfer that he applied to my leg… I had the tattoo artist add the stem for the rose that he did free hand…

Happy Journaling…

 

June Twelfth… Presents…

 

I had forgotten that when hubby and I had gone to do all the baby shopping a few weeks ago that I had seen some things that I liked for my birthday and that hubby had bought them and put them away…

So even though I was with him when he bought them I was still surprised… lol…

Above pretty butterfly storage boxes…

On the left a decorative butterfly bowl… The turtle on the right I had liked but told him no, it was too expensive, so of course he went back and got it and son3 gave it to me for my birthday…

I had put cutting shears on my birthday list as mine are getting old… so yay, new cutting shears…

Yummy chocolate cake with fudge frosting…

Son1 and DIL came over for cake and pizza..

We are always laughing when we are not yelling… Here we are laughing because I said wait I was not sitting up straight or sucking in the guts, so hubby retook the picture…

All the presents plus some that came in the mail…

Flowers were delivered, no not from hubby…

Happy Journaling…

June Twelfth… Decorations…

 

Sharing all the decorations hubby put up for my birthday…

The picture on the left is presents!!

Hubby made all the different colored Happy 50th…

Happy Journaling…

June Eleventh

 

 

Tomorrow is my birthday…

I have five days off from work…

Time enough for blogging…

When I’m at work, doesn’t seem like there is time in between for blogging…

I had a footwear audit today, four hours long…

I worked the last six days in a row to get ready…

We only have five action plans as opposed to seven last time in March…

He only frustrated me two times…

 

 

I was surprised after the audit with a birthday cake from a couple of my coworkers…

It was so nice of them… It made me happy…

And the cake was so good, I had two pieces, marble cake…

I didn’t get lunch since I was with the district manager doing the audit…

I still had to make next weeks schedule and get my paper work in order for the team since I won’t be back til Tuesday… They’ll be fine, they’re a good team…

I have four interviews for next week when I get back for three new team members…

But for now I am off for the next five days…

There are already presents on the dining room table and hubby has decorated with streamers and balloons…

 

 

Can you guess how old I’ll be tomorrow…

Hubby is off getting Taco Bell for him and I and Carl’s Jr for son3…

Today was son3’s last day of seventh grade…

He is already on the XBox, summer has begun…

Son2 is off with friend’s today…

We are all off tomorrow for my birthday…

Son1 may come over too and DIL…

I am thinking of getting a tattoo for my birthday…

Hubby has drawn a rose (from a photo from my yard) and a butterfly for the tattoo artist to use… and son1 will take me as he has many tattoos and knows where to go…

I keep changing my mind, we will see what happens…

But then I already know what my second and third tattoo will be…

Hubby got employee of the month for the month of May… and he got a Red Robin gift card that we can use for my birthday and Father’s Day…

And he found out yesterday that he is now full time… He’ll be 33 hours full time like I am 30 hours full time… meaning that we can not be scheduled less then 33 or 30 hours…

Hubby is back with the Taco Bell and Carl’s Jr…
