Tattoo ramblings

Contemplating a new tattoo. Really been itching to get another one lately....So I'm busying myself with doing research, searching pictures etc so that I can hopefully draw something out. I know I'll want to put it on either my shoulder blade or the side of my right lower leg. The key here is me being able to translate my idea to paper...I'm not exactly artistic so that might be a problem LOL Unless of course someone out there in blogland would know someone willing to draw one out for me??? Any takers? My guess is I'll have to do a rough draft idea myself then just take it to the tattoo artist...once I decide where i want to go. I'm going to do some research on artists in the Portland area that I might want to go to....I'm thinking perhaps Black Hole body piercing and tattoo...all of this is still up in the air, in idea mode for now. But i'll update when i have a better idea of what i want. Don't want to give too much info away just yet ;)

Movie Critic Time

Had two amazing days off with Tim this week :D Love it when we have two full days off together! We had a Pho lunch date on Tues followed by some laundry and yard work and then today we went and saw the new Transformers movie. All in all a very good weekend I'd say. I was actually quite surprised that I enjoyed the Transformers movie as much as I did. I liked the two previous movies but was prepared not to like this one for multiple reasons. However, I found that I really did enjoy watching this one. Lots of explosions, robot fights and actually had a decent storyline. I was still kinda sad Megan Fox wasn't in this one but it was still a good movie. Now, I just need to finish watching the Harry Potter movies! That is on my to do list before the last one comes out in theaters. Then, on to reading the books! I really wanted to finish the movies before reading all the books so I didn't ruin the movies for myself. So, really, I'm excited that the movies are finished so now I can read :D

Happiness is a state of mind

I'm slowly learning to take things as they come. I'm finally OK with aspects of my life that I've been fighting with for a long time. Life is good. God is great. Now, to just keep repeating that to myself.....

I recently quit my job at Starbucks....and it's like the heavens opened up and angels sang, the whole bit. I didn't realize how truely unhappy that job made me until I quit. It's amazing my family and friends didn't strangle me while i was working there, because i'm sure I was always a little unpleasant to live with! So, to everyone who put up with me....THANK YOU! Your amazing and your patience astounds me.

I now have a fantastic job that I love. Now, that is a sentence I never thought i'd be able to type! I'm still working in coffee, but I'm working for a small coffee shop in the art museum that is just opening up and I have the freedom to really make an impact in how things are run. I love the atmosphere there and really am enjoying working with the people that I do. I am so much happier in general now it's amazing...Life is good, God is great!
