Crazy?

I have been thinking lately... 

Would my friends and family think I was crazy if we decided to get rid of all of our stuff and travel around in the van with our pups and blog about it? I think we would be crazy…

Hubby is turning the van into an RV of sorts. He has built the bed frame and went and bought a cozy mattress for it. It will have electricity (eventually) in that there will be a solar panel on the roof attached to batteries (and whatever other magic goes in to making that work). He is planning the little kitchenette area (really just a cooler with a charcoal grill at this time, not sure if there will be running water).

We will have storage and room for our pups. He is watching lots of videos of people who do this and I am following several accounts on twitter and Instagram… It looks so freeing. I know we would have to have money. There is expense…food, gas, maintenance…cell phone bills, probably a storage bill since I know that I would not be able to get rid of everything (but, really, how LIBERATING would that be!!!)



It sounds amazing, and also scary…but life is about taking risks. RIGHT?!?!?

Piercings and Tattoos...


I love body decoration...I love the fact that we have the right to put cool and meaningful pictures on our bodies. I am not interested in getting a giant hole in my ear or in someother parts of my body, but if you want to, why not!

I have the standard ear piercing. I got the first hole in each ear when I was little and the second hole in each ear a few years later. I only wear earings in one hole in each however, since i think the second (top) hole has closed up since I never wear earrings. When I was younger I wanted to get my tongue pierced, I had so many friends that had this and I wanted it to. But I never did it...

I have one tattoo that I have had work done to three times (ouch!). It is a sun, moon and stars on the back of my neck/back. I have found several designs that I want to continue my body art, but just can't seem to find the time or money to do them...

I met my husband through his tattoos and we had one of our first dates at the tattoo parlor... I met my hubby on MySpace and the picture that he had was his tattoo. That is what first attracted me and got me to send him a friend request. And the rest, as they say, is history... one of the first dates that we had was at the tattoo parlor, where I had my tattoo worked on and he also got some work done to his. It was a very interesting date to say the least!

Tattoos are beautiful to me. If you have tattoos and you catch me staring at them, I'm sorry, not sorry!!!

Where Do I Want To Live...


I currently live in Las Vegas, NV. It is so hot and arid, I do not like it at all (but I love my job, so I deal...) I really would like to live somewhere that is green with hills and trees that do not have the word PALM in their names. I would like to have 4 seasons, although I am not a huge fan of snow... I want to be able to see hills and the sky and not smog and other houses when I look out my windows. I would like to have a garden (DON'T LAUGH!!!)

My best friend moved to Tennessee recently and this really describes what I see when I look at pictures. Someone I follow on Instagram just moved to North Carolina and posted a picture and when I saw it, I was like..."That's it, I want to live there! It was a white farm house with lots of land and a creek and trees and room to roam.

I would love to be somewhere that it rains...more than the stupid rain we get here that is just a pain in the ass, because it is the desert and all it does is cause problems (flooding, anyone).

I would also like to have a little creek or stream that I can sit on my porch and listen to... and watch animals play in the field...

I do not want to spend the rest of my life in Las Vegas...I want to go somewhere that I can breathe and appreciate life without having to deal with smog and traffic and rude people all day (and that is just in the commute phase of the day).

So, trees, hills, garden, green, 4 seasons, rain, animals, creek or stream, porch...anyone know where I can find this place.

Weird Things I Do When I'm Alone

Ok, so I'm not alone all that often. But, when I am, is there anything that I do that I think is weird...

Ummm, I talk to myself... ALOT. Is that weird. I think that most people do it. But I do it ALOT (did I mention that). I am going to blame it on the fact that I was an only child and that I have a vivid imagination. And my imaginary friends still live with me, LOL. I do it at home, I do it in the car. I do it in my office at work (I sometimes get caught there, people look at me funny). I am going to tell myself it is normal...

Another "weird" thing that I do when I am alone is I will check every room in the house to make sure there is not some serial killer waiting to murder me! I do not care that my two dogs that bark at a noise they don't know (and sometimes a noise they DO know) are sleeping soundly in the living room. I must make sure (several times, usually) that there is no one in the house with ill intentions.

Speaking of my dogs, I also talk to my dogs. I do not have full conversations with them like Kristoff in Frozen, but I do talk to them. Again, I blame this on being an only child and not having alot of people to talk to growing up...

I'm not sure how weird those things are, but that is what I came up with...what are some of the weird things that you do when you're alone?
