Lucky number 6? LOL

Yeah, so last night at about 7pm, my best friend and I were bored and thought, "Hey! Let's go get tattoos! Again!" We had just gotten one in November, but now that they are fully healed, we thought we needed something new, something to show off for Spring and Summer. So, what is more Spring than a Ladybug? Not much except for flowers, and I gotta say, I love this little bug! This was taken this morning, the day after and it's looking pretty good if I do say so myself. It really didn't hurt to badly either. I mean, don't get me wrong, there were a few points where she hit a nerve, but after a couple of minutes, my foot went numb LOL. Now, the ride home was another story because they covered it, taped me up like a mummy and then of course I had to go run errands. But once I got home and took off the bandage, it was okay. And today it's okay too, hardly any pain until I bump it LOL.

My new man Quincy!

Well, the last time I was here, I had sad news...but now I have happy news! This is the new man in my life, Mr. Quincy! I adopted him from the Humane Society and we have been inseparable ever since. He's a purebred Chihuahua that they found running around. When I got him he weighed just under 5 pounds and they thought he was about 1 1/2 years old. When I got him, he was in a size XS sweater and toy collars. He's grown so much that he's in a size small sweater and a small collar! I didn't think I could love him as much as Bailey, but I do. He's pretty much house broken, and by that I mean he's going potty in the house on a potty pad until spring and doesn't spend any time at all in a crate. He was in his crate for about 2 weeks and I accidentally left him out one morning when I went to work and he didn't do a thing to the house except find a pair of my socks. And even then, he didn't damage them, he just carried them everywhere....still does! LOL
Not much else is new. We're still getting snow and it's been bitterly cold and we're going thru another cold snap right now. Everyone I know has that crud and so far (knock on wood) I haven't caught it, but I know I'm fighting it. I'm kinda stuffy tonight and I can't taste my Diet Coke, so being germ free is coming to an end.
We spring forward already this weekend, but still have a couple inches of snow on the ground, so it's still pretty depressing to be lighter longer when you can't do anything outside but freeze your rear off and get a runny nose. Anyways, I should run for now, just wanted to throw in a quick update. It's going to be so cold tomorrow I don't' think I'm going to leave the house...good day to craft if you ask me!
