I’ve wanted a tattoo for a long time – but then I end up changing my mind. I change where I want it or what it should be, even if it is just a tweak. Can you imagine getting a tattoo then wanting to tweak it? Yeah, that wouldn’t be cool! I do think I’ll get one someday – and who knows when someday will be here.

I’ve had my share of temporary airbrush tattoos though. They are usually at those small street fairs in towns and usually offer a wide variety of tattoos. Whenever I’ve seen them and had them done, I’ve always had to wait behind teenagers. I wonder if they ended up getting a tattoo once they were of age? I always liked how fast they could get done.

I remember when my best friend’s little brother was little (he’s a teenager now) and we told him that drawing on yourself with a pen was tattoos – in a short while he was covered and though we thought it was funny, their mom didn’t. I wonder if he’s interested in tattoos now? I’d definitely stick with airbrush until you know for sure what you want!

I’m probably going to draw up one, or talk to an artist friend to help with the drawing, before I do it.

Over the years I think I’ve turned into a fairly decent cook. We’ve gone from ramen noodles and hamburger helper to very rarely eating prepared meals like that. We make just about all of our meals from scratch – mashed potatoes from real potatoes, homemade mac and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs are a few favorites – and though somedays it is annoying to have to do, most of the time I enjoy it. And of course what also helps is Chris cooking some nights! Most of the time it is his days off and he does all the cooking on those days, which is a much needed and enjoyed break for me.

I have a shelf devoted to cookbooks – $1 Tupperware and Pampered Chef ones, the red checked really popular one, an LA Weightloss one, a couple of crock pot ones, a candy one from the 70s, a fat little farmers cookbook that was a gift to Chris from his Aunt – and what do we use? The farmers one and once in a while the red checked one. That’s it! It is a rare day in this house that we try something really new – I remember trying a Rachel Ray recipe one time and after frantically running around my kitchen (I swear her 30 minute meals are only 30 minutes because she cooks everything on high! Hahaha) we realized that the food just didn’t taste that good! I’m sure other recipes are good, but that meal certainly wasn’t.

Today I threw a roast in the crockpot and later I’ll make mashed potatoes and heat up a can of corn. Hard work right? Well no, but it is slightly boring!

I’ve also been looking for a freezer cooking cookbook – you know, where you make meals for like two weeks at a time and freeze them so they are ready? I know that the farther along I get the more I won’t be interested in cooking and if Chris has to go away for work, I really won’t be interested in cooking! It’s so easy to feed kids – especially mine, they’ll eat whatever you give them. If popping a pan in the oven is all I had to do, that would be ideal.
