Wow, its been a while since I've posted anything so I decided to just drop a few lines... I've been fighting a kidney/bladder infection for the last month or so and also dealing with high blood pressure issues which have not been fun. Doctor finally prescribed me some blood pressure meds and I've been battling with the side effects this past week. I'm waiting for the pay off, but nothing so far. I have a Urologist appointment next week to see what's going on with me and how we can fix it. I'll keep you posted on that. 
Couldn't resist posting this....I have mixed feelings about it but if interested you can purchase it here: http://www.perpetualkid.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1816.
So this morning as I was driving into work I was listening to a local radio show on 99.9 which is basically a show geared towards the male audience but I actually tune into it at times. They were discussing Jenny McCarthy's advice column (from FHM magazine) which was basically giving men advice on how to cheat on their wives and get away with it. Her quote is "let’s get one thing straight: If you cheat on a good woman, you are going to die a miserable death, probably of cancer. If she’s evil, though, go right ahead". Now, I'm pretty open to just about everything and I think Jenny McCarthy is crazy hot, but that quote pissed me off.
I don't think men need any more reason or advice on how to go about cheating. Let's face it, they have tons more testosterone hence making them horny as hell (all the time). But to encourage cheating, its not cool. I dealt with a man who constantly cheated on me, and that really changed me (and not for the good). There is nothing worse in life than to have that awkward feeling that something isn't right with your husband; he's suddenly changing from who he was or seems to have more distractions than usual. And you know what, sometimes it may not even be a specific change just a strong gut feeling that you just cant explain but so badly want to get rid of.
This also probably roots back to my issues with women. Honestly, I cant stand them and that is probably horrible to say since I am a woman and in many ways I am a girly girl. I can probably count on one hand the amount of female friends I have and even they drive me nuts at times. At the end of the day, I don't trust any woman; shit how can I, when we constantly backstab or talk shit about each other. There is no respect among us, yet I'm going to trust you with my husband. Ha!
I have always had male friends and I think I've done fine with their wives. Yes, occasionally I get someones wife that goes through some hormonal moment and might find me a threat but guess what, I'm not interested. I'm deeply in love with my husband and don't care for anyone else. I just stick to my boundaries (yes I have boundaries with my male friends) which basically just are that once my friend is home with his family, I leave him alone. That way his wife can never say anything about me (whether I'm taking time away from his family or some other emotional statement).
So basically, I think its horrible to write an article in a male magazine about how to cheat on your partner and not get caught...what is this world coming too??
So I decided yesterday to just go by myself to the tattoo place and just get it done (yes all by myself) :)
I was extremely nervous, couldn't stop talking until Doz (the tattoo guy) got me to shut up and chill. He explained every step to me and then I just squeezed the bench tight and literally, it was over in less than a second. Did it hurt, yeah a bit, more pressure than anything but nothing like I expected. I honestly felt like an ass for being all worried for nothing. I left there and grabbed my newest favorite drink from Starbucks (Green Tea Lemonade) and slurped two of them to help with the swelling. I sounded normal, eating wasn't as fun (ended up eating KFC mash potatoes and their mushy mac & cheese).
Now this morning..... well lets just say my tongue was huge, I couldn't talk without sounding retarded and I could tell the roof of my mouth was sore from the ring. Thankfully I rinsed my mouth, did my aftercare Salt Water spray stuff and slowly the tongue is getting back to normal size and I don't sound as bad....
Overall, I would totally encourage anyone that has been contemplating one (you know who you are) to do it. :)
On Friday night I realized how badly I still wanted a tongue piercing and surprising enough my hubby was cool with it.... So of course that is all I really can think about and I plan on going this weekend to do it but I'll be lying if I say I'm not scared out of my mind. Started doing some research online on how the piercing is done, and let me tell you, that just added another layer of "ouchness". So the big question is will I go thru with it, that is still to be decided....
No this person in the pic is not me.

Put together a Tubing morale event for my team yesterday at Snoqualmie Pass since last year it was a huge success and people really wanted to do it again. Last year we had an incident (non-tubing related) and the snow patrol (unfortunately not the band) had to come out and get someone for tearing their ACL. This year we had someone decide it would be fun to stack three tubes on top of one anohter and go down the hill. As you can guess, horrible wipe out, busted face and dislocated shoulder and another great call to the snow patrol. I believe they will probably ban us next year.
So the Do's are: ride the tube as intended
Dont's: Dont be stupid...
At least the person will be okay, and the overall day was great. Couldn't have asked for better weather and everyone had a great time. That's good since it will probably be the last time we will go.
