Vitamin D

What a great weekend!

Friday night I went out to First Friday's for the first time with Carley, Travis, and Dashley. It definitely comforted me to find that Richmond still has a very vibrant art scene. My everyday life is lacking in the arts (other than music), so being reminded about what Richmond is all about made me a little more proud of our city. We went to the senior photography art show, which was very impressive! One of the seniors had done a series on ordinary objects that she held on to after her father passed away, and how much more they meant after they are gone. Let's just say I related a little too closely; art has never hit me so hard.

Work on Saturday was slow moving, but it was worth it, because the store ended 112% to budget and complete! Which means we may have won a district wide competition= we get cupcakes! Woohoo! I got to train and push some of my newbies and they ended up showing me what they were made of, proud boss lady moment.

Sunday was my day off, and it was one of the best i've had in a while! Woke up early, went and ran some errands, then went out for tea, which lead to adventures to the river, soaking up some vitamin D, listening to music, and hang outs. My cheeks still ache this morning, not because of the sun either.

This week has gotten off to a great start, and I have much to look forward to, starting with my tattoo on Wednesday!

Oh My Robots!

Will be buying on yayday.

Fashionably Paranoid.

"She wiped down the faceplate of the alarm clock with the corner of her sheets, and she sat up in the partially skewed 11am light. The well-loved timepiece had started to cloud with a few familiar shaped, lip-balm imprints; the hands almost seemed to be cutting through a cherry flavored fog as they counted down her day.

[...]

The stories, myths, and fables, had left a deep imprint on her that no one would be able to alleviate with rational argument. She was blindly convinced, but for now, it suited her. Everyone needs a quirk."

Tattoo Feedback

Time after time these certain lyrics have been applicable to my life, and I think it's about time to get them burned onto my person.

My idea:

Front of my right arm, right above the bend of my elbow get 'A lot of heart' in script
and on the front of my left arm, right aove the bend of my elbow 'A little luck'

what do we think?
If you saw this on someone, what would you think?

This will be my first in your face tattoo, so I want to know peoples opinions.

Truths XXVIII

I'm the girl that makes men realize they love someone else.

7 words, 7 Syllables

"Your Mom would be proud of you."

I will never be able to hear these words and keep my composure.

The Truth Hurts

Over ambition + lack of patience = too many loose ends.

It is a horrible, horrible feeling when someone close to you shines a light on a fault. It's a hard pill to swallow, but I'm thankful that they love me enough to tell me.

I've got some work/healing to do.
