Jeans
If I can find a picture or video of Christina Ricci wearing Z.Cavaricci Jeans I will be as happy as I was when I found Kenny Roger’s Western Wear.
I finally got my back piece finished in August or September. Now we’re moving on to a piece that will hopefully develop into a beautiful sleeve. It’s all free hand done by Mr. Nathan Gerger at K.Ink Tattoo and Piercing in Ankeny, IA. I recommend you give him bizzzznizzz!
Wait, It’s a New Year?
Once again a year has come and gone. Where it went I have no idea? This past year has been a HUGE growth year for me. I landed a job that I absolutely love and want to imporve upon ever day. I have found a pass time that will be with me the rest of my life: ink.
Of course, with this being a new year it’s time to set a few goals and then in June go back and see how I’m doing on reaching those goals. Some of these goals, of course, are an ongoing project to self improvement which bring us to goal number…
1. Continue to work on ”Breaking Down the Wall” that was composed by myself and Lindsey Kroeger.
2. Continue to live an active, healthy lifestyle that includes at least 30 minutes of cardio and/or yoga.
3. Get your veg(itarian) on! Meat makes me feel frumpy. Vegies make me feel happy. The choice is clear.
4. Get organized! This is probably my newest project for the year. The first three are always going to be in my life. I want more organization and less clutter.
5. Finish goals I’ve started. The first goal I’m thinking of is the screen play I started last winter but haven’t worked on since the spring. This will be my winter project. I have had a few people in the past month ask me about it and I think that’s a sign that I need to get clicking and brainstorming again.
I also was going to post pictures for my 25 days of christmas sweaters but never did. I just assume no one ACTUALLY reads this blog…which brings me to my last goal for the new year:
6. Start a video blog, podcast or something to have people “subscribe”.
7. My ultimate goal in life is to by a stand up comedian/storyteller. How do I go about getting THAT completed in life?
So, here we go for another round of self improvement! I’ll take all the help I can get.
Notice that not one of these goals is “get a boyfriend”. I’m stickin’ to my guns on that one. It’s been in every prayer every night since I was 15. Kinda giving up on that goal and setting new ones.
Love every and anyone that reads this!
Oh, and I want to get an ink sleeve. :)
Lady in Gold
I visited friends back in Denver and realized that once again, I have not grown out of my 24 year old soul and I’m not sure I ever well. I went to a Christmas party, which I thought was an ugly holiday sweater party. I arrived and everyone was dressed in actual nice, dressy clothes. Not ugly sweaters. I felt like a jackass right off the bat showing up with red heels, gold lame’ leggings and a skirt worn as a short dress belted under the boobs. 
My other friends eventually showed up dressed in Christmas crap and we were ready to go out so we decided to the bars. We went down Colfax and it chewed me up and spit me out the way it always does. Like an abusive boyfriend. Beats me up but I keep going back for more because of the good times. The next morning I woke up in a bed in Boulder with my skirt dress around my waist and my swimsuit top on covered in tortilla chips. It was at this moment I realized that maybe it’s time to start growin up. When I got up, I met people for brunch but had zero appetite and I think threw up an entire tater boat from the night before. I think I even saw the flag raised starboard. I was late for this brunch meeting that I borrowed a tshirt from my friend, wore the dress as a skirt the way it’s supposed to and went about my way. It was definitely one of those moments when I KNEW I looked as good as I felt.
Oh well, worth the trip every trip.
Bouncing around on Soulpancake.com. This was a response to one of the assignments.
Hallmark cards
Some folks may know that I’m a sender of cards. I love sending notes to folks for no reason. This has somewhat inspired me to possibly become a card writer. I have some ideas brewing. One in particular is a love card.
“Some say oil and water don’t mix. I say those people have never made boxed brownies”
Another one of my favorites for Valentines Day would be:
“Sorry I barfed on your dick. Happy Valentine’s Day”
I’m sure I could muster up some more cleverness.
On a different note, I was told that reading blogs is so 2005 and I need to start a video blog. Would anyone actually WATCH me tell these dumb stories? I think it’d be more fun to read them but then again, I still send snail mail hand written cards. We all know that’s SO 1993.
Confidence Booster Shot
Haha. This should be a match.com profile description:
I probably have so much to write about but instead of writing my words I’m going to write words that my good friend and old co-worker, Danielle wrote about me. Here ya go:
Danielle: Just so you know you are beautiful. Don’t ever let some piece of shit make you believe otherwise!!
Me: Ha. Thanks. I think it’s my life’s work to believe this.
Danielle: Well I believe it and everyone you meet believes it. You can’t help but notice that you draw people to you because of your personality, unfortunately that means assholes too! But you’re one of the most creative and funniest people I know.

I am SO blessed to have people like this make my heavy heart feel a little lighter. Thanks D.
Matt Moore: yeah, technically it’s ‘if you build it Matt Moore will come’. the movie got it wrong
Lindsay Simmerman” that’s what she said. HA. that was the best one i’ve had in awhile!
