Tattoo Night

I really was excited to go out last night.  Happy hour with my peeps, what could be better?  Ok yeah, I know what's better, but you know what I mean.  I had to take Gav about 20 minutes away for soccer at 5:00.  My plan was to be back at the local watering hole for a drink before I had to go all the way back out there and pick him up.  Apparently the weather had other, more sober, plans for me. 

The wind had been awful all day yesterday and though it didn't snow hardly at all (unlike it is right now....) snow was blown back over the roads.  It wasn't like I was staying in the suburbs where they actually plow either.  I had to drive the kid out into the "country".  I say that with quotes because it's really NOT country, well not country like I know, but that's how it's referred to around here.  Once I knew how bad the roads were there was no way I was even having one drink before I went back out to get him.

Happy hour was not happy.  I HATE drunk people when I'm not sharing in the fun.  I had enough of all that when I was preggo and their stupid designated driver for 9 months.  Not that having a DD is stupid, because it's not, ME being a DD is stupid....  I was never so happy to get out of there. 

I made it back home without incident and poured myself a drink..... then another.  I was waiting on Tara and Mike to get to the house and pick me up to go watch Tara get her new tattoo and hang out with Tattoo Guy.  By the time they arrived I was buzzed enough that their constant high schooler like groping didn't bother me a whole lot. 

We got to the shop and Tattoo Guy drew out what Tara wanted and they decided exactly where to place it on her foot.  She's already got a big one (well big for being on your foot), which is her zodiac sign and she was getting her two kids signs added to it.  Not exactly what I'd choose, but to each his own, right?

We had a good time chillin, drinking beers and watching Tara squirm in pain while Tattoo Guy showed the utmost patience with our antics.  Below are the pictures from last night.  Sadly I was a little too buzzed to remember to get a picture of the final product.  I'll do that this weekend.

 

  

  

  

 

By the time we were all done, the shop was closed, so we waited for Tattoo Guy to close the place up and got ready to head back to the hood.  I didn't want to ride with Tara and Mike, but TG had all his tools and work stuff in his truck from his other job.  They dropped me off back at the house and headed home.  TG showed up about half an hour later and once again we stayed up WAY too late chillin.

Tonight is 4th Friday at the local watering hole.  That's when all the alumni from our high school that graduated in the 90's meet up for a mini-reunion.  Last time it was off the hook.  This month I'd expect no less.  Plus I'll be sporting a special new shirt that I got at the David and Goliath store out in Vegas.  It's sure to be an attention getter.....  Saturday night is girls night out and we're going to a beach party at a bar where Nicole's (NC) friend works.  That will be a good time as well...  Sometime I need to fit in some sleep.  Now that my body is adjusted back to east coast time that should be more possible.

Have a great weekend everyone!
