donkeys, raisin tomatoes, mowing & tattoos...

random much?

well, i have a few things i want 2 share with u - & they're so not related in any way

so?!

so, i'm gonna share em anyway - in 1 post

so there!

;0)

-----

donkeys...

see, there's this donkey...he's lived in this little field in my hometown 4 as long as i can remember...he's always been there - right at the intersection, on the back roads, on my way from home 2 work/work 2 home...even when i 1st started driving - i attended my fair share of parties on those back roads, back in my high school days - & he was always right there, in that same field

& he still is!

that's him on the left - with his ass 2 the camera

get it? ass 2 the camera?! ~lol~

uh, yeah...

anyway,
now, he's got friends!!!


rn't they cute?!

-----

next up - raisin tomatoes...

ever heard of em?


well, i hadn't...
they're teeny tiny - & super yummy!

my ma picked up some 4 miss Corinn at the local veggie/fruit stand - she's my tiny tomato nut!

grape tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, even the small plum tomatoes that r really too big 2 put completely in ur mouth...she still does it - she loves the POP of squishing the whole thing in between her teeth ;0)



this pic was taken at about 7am on saturday morning!

gotta love this kid - she's my partner in culinary crime! ;0)

-----

now, mowing...


yeah, i did it last nite!

even tho curtis told me not 2

cause he's not my boss!
;0)

& i couldn't help it - we finally had a working mower again & the yard desperately needed the attention!

plus, i just knew i could

chemo's over (in case u hadn't heard!) & i felt the energy building inside...yearning 2 do a tough chore like push mowing again

i worked up a sweat alright...

& it felt goooooood!!!
;0)

-----

lastly, tattoos...

i want some baaaaaad!

mostly cause they've been off limits throughout my treatment...of course, 4 good reason - couldn't risk getting an infection

but still...

Curtis & i were planning on getting wedding bands tats 2gether b4 the whole cancer diagnosis came along...btw - it'll b his 1st tat EVER! ;0)

& of course i've been contemplating what i'll get 2 rep my kiddos 4 a while

but now...now, i have another reason 2 get one...

I KICKED CANCER'S ASS!!!
(well, close enuff anyway)

& i like this little lady - don't u think she'd make a cute tattoo?
of course, she'll have 2 wear a violet and/or lime green scarf - rep'ing hodgkin's lymphoma
;0)


that's right, i'm almost done kicking some cancer boo-tay...once i get over this last little hurdle i can officially call myself a
cancer survivor
!

& i think that's cause 4 celebration...

of the tattoo persuasion
;0)

The donkeys are cute. I LOVE little tomatoes. I have been desperately wanting another tat, but can't think of anything good to represent my boys without it looking like a baby bracelet (ABC). Let me know any good thoughts you have!

What a funny, random post! I totally love the tattoo idea of that picture, which would have so much meaning behind it, instead of a random tattoo...
but you can soon go for it and do anything you want...like mowing? Did it actually feel good to accomplish mowing or was it just another chore? ;)
Rejoicing with you in this big accomplishment of finnishing Chemo!!

OMW! I love that idea for a tattoo! Simple, but it really gets an awesome message out there:) I've never seen such tiny tomatoes. I don't like them so maybe that's why, lol!
