To be honest, I'm glad the week is over. The highlight? Getting my tattoo with my best friend by my side while talking shit and laughing. It was a gift to myself. Something I had wanted for a while that really meant something to me. (Take your two seconds to scoff or judge if you must, I don't give a fuck. It's MY body so... yeah....Are you good? Okay!) That was great. We even got to witness an idiot kid (maybe 17..?) freak out over getting his first tattoo done at the same time. Though he didn't cry or pass out like we were hoping for.. It was still fun to watch and listen to. Later in the day, I was taken to dinner, given a few gifts and even was surprised with a bad ass killer cake (in the photo...) along with a drink or two. It was all fun and good. The only off part was right before I entered my house. My friend who lives across the street let me know that the frat boy wannabe of the neighborhood had some things to say and even though we haven't spoken to him in months (MONTHS) it involved ME. What drives me crazy about where I live... It reminds me of Wisteria Lane mixed with High School.. with a dash of.. Jerry Springer? maybe that's not accurate all the time but still. Basically, everyone has eyes on people and assume to know things that frankly... they don't. At first, this place seemed quiet and quaint... Everyone helps everyone and they're all so friendly. Then I actually started to size people up myself. You know, like they were (and are..) doing to me. It's not crazy that I don't want to be the super host to neighborhood gatherings. Why would I? To me, a good percentage of the people will smile in your face and start talking shit before they leave your driveway. Why in the HELL would I want to waste my time entertaining people like that? Oh yeah... I wouldn't... There are a few decents thankfully but still.. Look, I didn't put up with that trash while I was IN high school... and I sure as fuck am not going to deal with it now. I'm fine with being the outcast. If it means I don't have to sift through peoples bullshit, so be it. It sucks that it came out when it did after such a fun day and that it has turned me off from even the thought of neighborly junk for a while. I can only imagine the other THINGS that come up when I drive by or check my mail. Hopefully I can just keep my reputation of being an obnoxious bitch to keep me from listening to any more of the trivial crap some people have to spout. This chick has no interest in trying to win everyone's vote for prom queen. Sorry. NOT SORRY! The positive notes though because of course there are some.. I spent my birthday eating cake, hitting a few stores with my girls and taking them to check out some boat docks and fishing spots for some future casting. Add that with my Facebook and Twitter pile up of Happy Birthdays! and Love you's! and it ended up being an okay day. My husband had to work that night but we were able to celebrate early thankfully. (And remember the ring... Good birthday that just happened to be noticed for more than just the one day..) Another cool note was the fact that my gamer guys (3 guys I've played video games with for like... 7ish years now..) also wished me Happy Birthday and played games as long as I wanted. It was fun and I laughed my ass off which was an amazing way to close it out. Aside from today being April fools day, it was also Easter. No.. I didn't attend any services or public egg hunts... My kids had their own here and got to partake in the finding of goody boxes. (I don't really like the whole basket thing... they're usually ugly or get broken quickly... I'd rather buy something they will use in their rooms and cram it full of goodies. You know what? They loved it. #MomHacks) We painted flower pots and planted flowers as well as running outside, playing with bubbles, more painting, games, etc. It's been a great and beautiful day. Today was the first day in a few that I've been blissful the entire day. :) I hope all of you had a great day as well. Happy Easter... and better yet... HAPPY WALKING DEAD DAY!!! (Oh yeah baby, it's on tonight... 9pm. WATCH IT!) I guess that is all for now. Have a good evening!
