Seems I've been gone for awhile. Sad!  I hate it when that happens.

I've been so sleepy lately.  I was hoping it was from being pregnant, but it turns out that wasn't the case.  Seems AF is on her way into town today.

If an awesome case of the stomach flu wasn't enough.  I'll spare you the details, but it wasn't fun.  AF had to join in on all the fun. Bitch!

I hope everyone is doing well.  I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things here on my blog. 

Welcome to the seventh round of Tattoo Tuesday.  This week it's on Thursday though.  I apologize for that, but Tuesday I was so tired and blogging wasn't happening.  Enjoy!

If you've missed the others: first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth.

FYI: These are awful pictures.  I'll have Hubs take better ones when I get home with a nice camera, not my crap iPhone one.

Pin-Up [Charlie]; Location: upper left arm; Age: 18

I don't have a picture of the original pin-up.  But we found her picture in a huge book full of pin-up magazine covers.

I absolutely adore pin-up models.  They're gorgeous, sexy and full of confidence.  Something I've always wished I've had.  I thought about trying out for Suicide Girls (WARNING: link not safe for work. Sorry Kate!) to be a more present day pin-up.  I actually submitted an application and got accepted.  The next step was to send them a set, but I just couldn't get up the nerve to do it.

I'm not 100% happy with Charlie, there are a few things I wish I could change, but I still love her.

I plan on getting another pin-up model eventually.  Not sure when, but I know I either want to get it on the side of my calf or thigh.  For the next one I plan on doing more research and finding one that can represent me in a pin-up form.

How did Charlie get her name?  It's a variation of my best friend [at the times] name.  Her name is Charlene and a bunch of her family called her Charlie.  And my tattoo has similar features of hers, so we just decided to call her Charlie.  It's stuck ever since.  [Sadly, Charlene and I aren't friends anymore.  Shortly after I started dating Hubs, Charlene stopped speaking to me.  I've tried to contact her, but I get no response.  Anyways, that's another story.]

Do you have a tattoo?  Tell me about it!

*Sorry I didn't get Tattoo Tuesday up this week.  I'll post it Thursday.

I'm sure we've all read tons of posts on the 2ww (two week wait). I know I have.

I'm sure we've all heard from at least one pregnant or previously pregnant person that symptoms don't happen right away. I know I have.

I'm sure we all [over]analyzed every single twitch or difference in our bodies during that damn 2ww. I know I have.

I'm sure we've all looked at our chart counting how many DPO (days past ovulation) we were so we knew when we'd be able to take a pregnancy test. I know I have.


This damn 2ww is driving me insane. And I'm only 5-6 DPO!

Is there any chance that I could get my brain removed for about 5-7 days without any damage being done to it or myself? If you know of a way, please let me know. ASAP!

How do you cope during the 2ww?  I'm open to suggestions.
