Holy Sweet Margarita [Weekend Update]

  • Friday we went to my "cousin-in-laws" graduation.  He goes to a Christian school and I wasn't raised religious at all, so I was pretty much bored out of my mind.  This Chaplain spoke for about 45 minutes and I didn't think it was going to end, but it finally did.  CIL's graduating class was 16 people, no where near the size of my graduating class.
  • After the graduation, we went to wedding reception for my MIL's friend.  There was an open bar, which is always good news.  Or potentially bad news.  Hubs had way too much, so I ended up having to drive home.  So I had to stop drinking halfway through my fourth margarita.  At the reception we saw my MIL get really drunk and she danced for like four hours.  Really awkward!


  • The Hubs and I finished watching the third season The IT Crowd on Netflix.  That show is so dumb you can't help but laugh.  It's a British comedy with a random Irish man.  Love it!


  • On Sunday, Hubs parents invited us out to dinner at Top Shelf.  I got to meet one of Hubs uncles and aunts for the first time.  His uncle looks a lot like Stone Cold Steve Austin, except his uncle is like a foot taller.  Top Shelf has amazing margaritas.  Strawberry blended margarita for me please!
  • Hubs bought Red Dead Redemtion earlier this week.  Over the weekend I watched him play it quite a bit and I even gave it a try.  It's quite fun, but I suck at navigating on the Xbox remotes.
How was your weekend? What did you do?

Grab a Book and Read Wednesday

Like that title?  I think it's pretty clever. ;)


Talk of the Town by Lisa Wingate: This is a free book that I got from Amazon for my Kindle.  I adored this book.  It took me awhile to get into it and it also took me awhile to finish it.  But it was adorable.  Very funny and cute. 


Give Me Fever by Niobia Bryant: Yet another free book from Amazon.  I bet that doesn't surprise you.  I didn't really know what to expect when I started this book.  It ended up turning into an almost erotica type book.  I really liked it and I flew right through it.  Took me about a day and a half to finish it.


Heat of Passion: An Out of Uniform Story by Elle Kennedy: Another free book (which is actually still free, just in case you have a Kindle).  It's a very short book, which made it a really quick read.  I always love a trashy romance novel with a happy ending and that's exactly what I got.

Currently reading:


Just Sex by Susan Kay Law:  Surprisingly not a free book, but it was cheap!  Only $2.35 and it's quite long.  Just started it Monday on the way home from work.  It's about a man that was caught cheating on his wife and he tells his wife it was just about sex.  He then tries to tell his wife to have an affair to realize that it's just about sex.  Should be interesting!

What I want to read next: 


I'm really looking forward to reading Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris.  I just have to wait until my mother finishes reading it first, since she's the one that actually bought it!  Looks like I won't get this until my next week.  My mom didn't finish it before they left for Texas. :(


Hubs really wants me to start reading this series he's reading.  The first one is Enemies: Foreign and Domestic by Matthew Bracken.  He's currently on the second book; Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista.  I might give them a try after I read the latest Sookie book.  I just wish I could buy them for my Kindle.

Tell me about a book you've read recently. What are you reading now?

Tattoo Tuesday




Welcome to the eighth round of Tattoo Tuesday (or Thursday, depending on how I'm feeling that week).

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

Isn't my dad a great photographer? ;)

Who Needs Air; Location: right forearm; Age: 18

The story for this tattoo it short and sweet.  It's the title of my favorite song by one of my favorite bands.  If you know who they were before you read this, then you're awesome!  I'm attaching the song so you'll get to hear how wonderful it is.  It's alright if you don't like it because I do. :)


Tattoo by: Eric formerly with Divinity Tattoo.

Do you have a tattoo?  Tell me about it!

UPDATED!


My tattoo appeared in the May 2008 issue of Flash, a tattoo magazine.  When I went to Six Flags almost two years ago and while we were there a random girl noticed this tattoo when we were waiting in line for one of the coasters.  It was so weird!

I Lead A Boring Life [Weekend Update]

I realized I haven't really posted in over a week.  I'm not sure why.  I've felt like writing, but when I try nothing worth while even comes out.  So I give up.  What do you do when you have writers block or get into a funk when it comes to your blog?

I should really look at those writing books I purchased from Amazon to help me blog.  [1. No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog by Margaret Mason and 2. The Write-Brain Workbook: 366 Exercises to Liberate Your Writing by Bonnie Neubauer]

Anyways, back to the weekend.

  • Friday after work, Hubs and I took a 2-3 hour nap then woke up and went to dinner at Marie Callender's.  It wasn't as great as I was hoping.  Plus, I was really craving a grilled cheese sandwich and some tomato soup.
  • Saturday afternoon was spent on the couch watching eight episodes of The Vampire Diaries.  Um... INSANE!  I really hope it will be back for another season.  I desperately want to know what happens!
  • We went to see the championship game for the Arizona Roller Derby.  It was between the Bad News Beaters and the Brawlarinas.  The Bad News Beaters ended up winning.  [139-109]
  • At the Roller Derby you can buy tickets for drawings that they have.  Well, my dad ended up winning the final drawing.  His gift bag had two shirts, a hat, some stickers, a pin AND a $50 gift card to a tattoo shop.  Awesome!  My dad gave one of the shirts to me and the other shirt and the hat to Hubs.  Thanks, Popsicle!
  • Hubs and I ended up seeing Letters to Juliet on Sunday.  I thought the story was adorable.  But the outfits that they put Amanda Seyfried in were awful, mainly the dresses.  Apparently the clothing department didn't like her.
Those are the highlights.  The rest of the weekend was spent; on the couch watching television, on the computer or sleeping.  We also went to Walmart after the movie, but that's not really important.  We just picked up some milk, cheese and ya know... four bottles of wine.

What did you do this weekend?
