Helluva week

I started off last weekend doing my best to relax. I got home from work, poured myself a glass of wine, and snuggled up in my bed with my dogs to watch my show. I was immediately on the phone with one of my cousins to discuss the most recent family drama. So fun.

Then my coworker texted me telling about how one of the brides brought her kids and the kid peed on the couch. After the week we had I was giggling so hard I spilled my wine all over my self. Again, so fun.

The Mentalist has lowkey broken me. I’ve done my best to explain it to my friends but every time I do the show makes less and less sense. Don’t get me wrong, I’m obsessed. It just stresses me out. Keep in mind this is just a show I have on in the background. It’s great and easy to keep up with because I don’t have to watch every little moment. But deadass if you told me that the past five seasons I’ve watched has just been the same episode on repeat I’d believe you.

Sunday was one of my friends birthday party. It was themed (gay) “Unc-out”. Pretty much everyone showed up dressed up on theme. I will say that given the outdoor nature of this party layers were lost. It was hot as hell but such a vibe. We played games and got drunk (pretty sure the heat sped that up). The food was amazing. Great great great time.

The next morning I got out of bed hungover as hell and went to a tattoo appointment. My beautiful, amazing, wonderful boss called me as I was pulling out cash and sang “you can still change your miiinddd”. She’s not a huge tattoo fan but I knew that, so I had been prepping her all week. She never wanted to see what I was getting so I think she had really built it up in her head.

One of my friends met me there and it began. While we were waiting we made a friend. I sadly forgot to swap instas with her but she seemed sweet. The artist had the cutest space and cop cam on her tv. It lasted like fourty-five minutes. I left so psyched with my new tattoo.

Most of the tattoos I have, I’ve given myself. While I was visiting my family last weekend I sat down with my sister and picked the next three tattoos I plan on getting. The Pintrest board can only get so big. This was the first one. I wanted to go simple because I’m trying to get used to getting them again.

After that, I went straight to work for a content day. I had completely forgotten about it so that really went well with the hangover.

My boss didn’t hate the tattoo

I work at a custom bridal shop. I mostly work in the back on alterations but because I will be running our new event space, I needed to have some photos taken. The wedding planner who set up our space for the shoot absolutely slayed it. She has a very colorful and maximlist vibe that I’m obessed with.

I was able to get some pretty photos and videos for my insta and finsta.

This is just another one of her sets. Love all of the flesh flowers she used. I will say, maybe not worth five thousand. Not for us at least. She insisted on no fake plants but I feel like at least some of the greenery could have been fake. Otherwise though, massive win.

Here’s a dress I was working on this week. I had to take out two tulle layers on from the bodice, reshape the deep v and put new lace on that part. Not my favorite dress but I do have a photo of it. The bride loved it. She saw it for the first time this week.

My super sweet friend gave me this blush she doesn’t use. I really love it 10/10. I did refer to it as a rare blush like twice which was funny.

Had a first date on Friday. We met on bumble and hadn’t talked much outside of orginizing the date. I don’t like to stay on the apps long before a first date. Normally I’m picky enough that if we match and have a couple of decent conversations, that’s enough to at least go for a date. My darling friends came to hangout with me while I got ready and just stayed at my place until I came back.

It went terribly. He was thirty minutes late after we had confirmed multiple times that day. He showed up in basically pajamas. We were meeting at Dogmud, which is super casual but come on it’s a first date. Try a little. He was, shall I say, not sober. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind when people partake but you’re hitting a pen in front of the waitress, on the way inside, between sips of beer, and so on.

Anyways, the waitress came by and gave us our menus. I asked if he wanted to split an appetizer or something. He said he didn’t want to because eat at right before. HUH? I was hungry because I hadn’t eaten all day because of my nerves but I wasn’t expecting anything crazy. Also, you knew about this.

I picked out a game (only bc he kept shooting anything we BOTH liked down). We played farkle because it seemed like the easiest game to teach this guy. It quickly got abandoned because I got tired of reminding him that it was his turn.

So we just talked. It was very much “only speaks when spoken to”. It got to the point where I was asking how many coworkers he had. And we weren’t eating or playing a game so it was hard to find a natural ending point. I eventually just said I had plans in like an hour.

He did pay for the two drinks we had and he was nice to the waitress. On our way out he suggested that we should hangout the next day and go fishing. Okay. let’s hangout again and talk even less. I’m good.

I was able to go back home to my friends. That really made all of it better. I made us a mid dinner of rice and veggies.

All in all, I need guys to learn to have a conversations.

I was able to go shopping with some friends the next day which was so much fun. This friend is really good at finding me at my poorest and inviting me out. But I just like to hangout so it was a good time.

I know I said that Northshore isn’t my fav but it is the most convenient. It’s also my bosses favorite spot. I have probably had an iced mocha from there four times this week.

I made five thousand on trophy road in clash. After a massive losing streak I had taken a break. I hopped on and was finally winning again. This just meant that my little brother started losing again 🙁

Last note, really weird week for music

I know it’s cheesy but it’s fun and in my range
