(I know I didn't quite fix the look of my site..but Chris is the one who does this kinda stuff...I just wanted to make it legible!)

So I got all gussied up, with tiara as requested, and we headed out to dinner. I still didn't know where we were going, but we ended up at the restaurant at the hotel the holistic fair was at in Reading. The food was wonderful, and it was cooked at our table, which was really neat to watch. They gave us a cute little heart cake, too!

Ryan really liked his poem and the chocolate anatomically correct heart I gave him (complete with a little sign that said "This heart of mine is ever thine". It won over the lungs that would say "You take my breath away" hah). I'd ordered Good Luck Chuck, but it hasn't arrived yet. That was the movie we saw on our first official date.

Today I'm making him pants for the SCA thing we're doing tomorrow. Poker at his mom's tonight. Baby and Serenity on Sunday. full weekend. Now if only I could lift shit!

cake!

So it's already been a doozie of a day. I finally got to call my dad and grandma. It seems the whole ordeal was because I showed *gasp* a breast! *oh no, you filthy whore!* Heh, if she only knew anything else about my life...a breast really wouldn't be that bad now, would it? In any case, I worry about my dad. It' not often he enters the realm of hapless-hopeless-complain-lament, but today he seemed really depressed. I got reprimanded for not calling earlier (as I figured I would), and honestly I don't know what to say to him. I'm not used to my dad being like this. He's my dad. He's Dave. He's a generally upbeat guy even when things are destitute. I think this tinnitus thing was the last straw. Everyone please keep him in your prayers and good blessings.

I still don't have any clue where we're going for dinner. I love surprises! I got my present last night. it's a massage shower brush thing. I can't wait until we have a warm enough shower to use it!

Anywho, I've got a few things to accomplish before dinner tonight. Happy valentine's day, everyone! I love you all!

Just for reference...if anyone tells you to make a tea from wormwood, I don't care what it's supposed to remedy I assure you whatever you've got isn't half as bad as ingesting a tea made from wormwood. Ugh! We almost both threw up from it.

In other news:It's a miserable shushy mess outside today. It started last night as one big sheet of ice. I know because we were carsledding down Manayunk Ave on it. This morning it's slushy and nasty and cold! Ugh. The dog had a time goin out today. In any case...gettin my hair cut today. That will be the highlight. Stuff to prep for tomorrow. I had lots of weird dreams last night. That's not what the tea was supposed to do. I hate when I have a dream about an ex. They're never even sex or reality based. They're always something completely irrelevant to anything. This one was a Model mayhem meet and greet, and he was there taking pictures at a group shoot, and he was naked, so I decided not to shoot anything because I didn't want to be near my naked ex. So odd. Also had a dream about Ben, my guitar instructor from Pinole. I keep losing his number. I miss Ben.

I guess that's about it. My wrist hurts really badly, and the doctor says it's an ulner neuropathy which mens it's not really going to go away. I just nee to learn to deal with sharp stabbing pains in my hand and wrist. Great.

In any case, I'll talk to you all later

there will indeed be a picture of the ink as soon as hubby takes a picture..it's on my shoulderblade, so it's a bit hard to take a picture of it myself. ;)

my first tattoo and I didn't even cry! Go me! Pictures to come! It looks absolutely gorgeous. Brandon did a terrific job. Definitely worth the drive, and I will be returning for the 2 (at least) more I have planned.
Many thanks to hubby for moral support. :)
Not a lot else to tell of. Business planning. Once all other expenses are covered..it'll be a while but it's good to plan.

In other news...apparently someone called my grandmother about something "disturbing" on my MySpace. She emailed me today with this bitchy "I didn't tell your father because he's got so much trouble already, and you need to call him because he's not doing well (insert "you're a terrible daughter" tone here), and you're all he has. Ending with "why did you do it?" This is such a ridiculous, immature move on the part of my family. One, you know how she reacts to everything. Why be a fucking instigator? Secondly, I was under the false assumption that we're all adults! If you've got an issue with something, and it's probably something really blown out of proportion, talk to me about it first. Thirdly, mind your own business. There hasn't been anything new added to that site in months. Why make it an issue now? Asshole. I WILL find out who started this, and it will not be pretty. I didn't need to get stressed out this weekend with everything going on, so I haven't called her yet to find out what it is. It's really just the principle of the matter at this point. Meh!

That's really it. Ridge diner and sketchbook in 20. I GOT A TATTOO!!!! (someone wanna call my grandmother?)

Friday was not a good day..I found out it'll be at least another 2 weeks until I can go back to work, got yelled at by my grandmother for not being able to work, realized we're going to be another $500 in the hole come Tuesday when the landlord cashes the rent check, fought all night with Ryan, and retreated to Rich's to try and escape it all for a few hours. No, Friday was not a good day.

Yesterday was far better in comparison. We were still a little edgy with each other waking up, but once we got moving we were fine. We headed out for breakfast at The Jukebox then headed to Reading for the holistic far they were having. Ryan got us wooden practice swords, and if it hadn't ended up being too close to closing time I'd have come home with a tattoo. I almost got reiki'd but I was waiting under the false assumption that I was being inked. It was great to see Tara and Jay, and I haven't seen anyone else probably in over a year, so it was great to catch up! Working more on being around more often, but sometimes I still feel like the retard trying to hang out with the cool kids. A lot of it stems from the fact that I only kinda of pop up once in a great while, but it seems like certain people only talk to me when they have to, and even then it's short, curt, and slightly catty. It is what it is, I guess, and really it only slightly annoys me and really only comes up now because Ryan sensed it and it turned into a "discussion". Anywho, we got home full of energy and decided we were going to organize "the spice rack", which was really a bunch of herbs in various forms of plastic and paper bags thrown in the storage space in the alter table...until now! A quick trip to Walmart and we had 20 screw lid containers and a few tiny little bowls. Ahh the joys of organization. We now have sticker-labeled, secure receptacles for our herbs. How crafty of us!

Sunday we had lots more gaming, which was great. Finally we got to see some action! I have to credit Ryan for being the first GM I've ever seen shake a character enough she has to leave the session. Eek.

Now I'm cleaning, and the dog's driving me insane, and my butt hurts...hah. Dealing. Happy Mardi Gras everyone!
