@ladyinpurple well, i have two on my back that are easily hidden by my hair and bra. One is a star in the center that can be covered by my hair and the other is the latin “ad astra per aspera” right on the bra line (a rough road leads to the stars) – so I’d like to break with my star theme and do something on my feet.
I’ve been debating on mumford and son’s lyrics (Keep the earth below my feet) because that’s the most played song on my iTunes and I just love it so much. ORRRRRR some Robert Frost “I’ve got promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep” because i love it, and I’m a runner so miles to go just seems appropriate on my feet.
tattoo parlor black tie?! that’s sounds awesome. I’ve been considering another tattoo over Christmas break. We’ll see if I pull the trigger
that’s great MissDre. How did you meet this guy?
Good luck on your date MissDre! Keep us posted!
And thanks for the compliments folks. *blushing*
@K DO NOT FALL FOR HIS FOOLISHNESS. Walter Cronkite is pure evil. He gets away with it because he’s cute.
Thanks! I’d show you my cute date, but privacy and such 😉 Just take @Kate’s word for it, he’s cute 🙂
@dre i’d have found it funny too, but i sure wouldn’t go out with him after that!
@kare yay for phone sex! lolOkay, so the ball: it was fun! I switched my shift to get off in time to get ready for the ball. It was SO HOT in Missouri on Saturday so I was sweating all day at work enough that I had to take a second shower before the ball lol. Managed to drink some coffee, slam some cold medicine and get ready. Dress looked great and my hair was pretty before I got to the humid ballroom! Drove to the event center where parking was A NIGHTMARE because hundreds of people for three different events….. So he came to find me at my car and helped me walk down the hill in my long gown and heels (it was comical). VERY handsome in his uniform and very sweet. Told me I looked beautiful multiple times. Met some of his friends, met his boss, sat at a fun table with two apache helicopter pilots that were getting their wives wasted (seriously the two wives went through at least three bottles of wine during dinner and I only helped a little lol).
After the dinner we sort of mingled and his friends were nice. It was so hot that we eventually went outside to get some air and ran into the Harley Davidson party people from the ballroom upstairs and hung out with them around a fire pit where it was so nice outside! I learned what all the medals and shoulder boards and pins meant on the uniforms so that was cool. He was very gentlemanly the whole night, but funny and fun. Walked me back up the hill to my car at the end of the night and gave me a big hug. No kiss yet, but I think I saw him considering it lol 😉
I’ll link to my instagram so you can see the dress if you promise not to stalk me and kill me 🙂

@K I remember last year getting a gel manicure in January and it lasted until past valentines’ day because that’s when my boudoir photo shoot was and I didn’t have to get a new manicure for it! lol
I’m so stoked to see this movie and take myself on a date today. SO STOKED.
Thanks guys! I agree, I REALLY wanted to rent the green backless dress, but at $100 for one night and with someone I barely know, I was happier to purchase a black and gold dress for half the price that I know I’ll be able to wear again. He seems like a really nice guy, and told me if the ball is lame we can change and go find something else to do like a movie or better dinner, so he has a back up plan!
@Lianne I think after my photography class today I’m treating myself to a movie date by myself at the fancy couches and beer movie theater (Spotlight, I’m SOOOOOO excited to see it) and a manicure, with the money I saved for not renting the gown! And for some reason I can’t keep a regular manicure for more than a day but I can get a gel/shellac to last 3-4 weeks. I’m weird.
@jimmyjam he’ll be wearing his formal dress uniform so I’m not sure we can coordinate? he did ask what color my dress was so at least he was curious. He said he didn’t have much choice lol.Ktfran – this is so exciting about meeting the family!!
lol @Kate is this one of the gel manicure colors? because i rarely get a manicure and when I do I get the one that will last me a month!
MissDre do it! and have fun on your date!
I found a super cute black and gold dress at Dillards on the sale rack on my lunch so I may go with that because I can wear it again for a work function next year! Now i think I might need a manicure. This is kind of fun to get all dressed up! Haven’t done this in a while!
