Inked

When I asked on my facebook what today's topic should be, I got the very good response of "tattoos!" from a very lovely, tattooed lady. So here it is. A post about tattoos.

I think tattoos are really cool and really pretty. To the horror of my grandmother, I would love to get some. Nothing stupid. Something meaningful and easily hidden. (I don't think it'd be beneficial to my career as a kindergarten teacher to have a large pot leaf and a rude word tattooed across my arm/chest/forehead. But a small Pokeball on my ribs won't hurt anyone.) So here are some tattoos that, while I may not want them, I would definitely complement somebody that had them.

 This one is actually a quote from a Lady Gaga song.. I rather love it.

Source

 This one is a quote from "Peter Pan" but I'm pretty much a sucker for quote tattoos in general. You will see a lot of them in this post.

 I applaud, love, and respect those who recognized where this tattoo was from. For those of you who didn't, you didn't lose any respect. It's a "Lord of the Rings" tattoo and quote. (No clue what it says below. I don't speak elvish.)

 Ah.. A music tattoo<3 One of the most common but it's still rather cute. I know how to draw this!

 So Google had crappy results for Frank Sinatra tattoos. Oh well.. Here's one. The best one I found.

 Aaah! A quote tattoo AND a Harry Potter tattoo. I'm impressed. Not one of the best quotes but it was super cute and really good and I didn't feel like scrolling through 5,000 crappy/repetitive Harry Potter tattoos. I'm really lazy when I go to find pictures so I normally only look through the first two pages and glance at the third..

 Like with the Frank Sinatra thing, Google SUCKS at giving me Sesame Street tattoos. So I took what I could get.. Oh well. This is cute. It's from "There's a Monster at the End of This Book".

 An Audrey Hepburn tattoo<3 these are also really difficult to find good ones of. Most tattoo artists seem to have a problem with her nose.

 A quote from one of my favorite movies, "Amelie", this says "times are hard for dreamers". Except it's in French. Like the movie..

Source

Aah! "Gone with the Wind". One of my favorite books AND my favorite movies.. So amazing.

Source

It's a "Lion King" tattoo.. 'Nuff said.

Source

 A "Fight Club" quote. I love some of the quotes from that movie/book and I felt that this would do. Chuck Palahniuk is a wise, wise man.

Source

"Where the Wild Things Are" is an amazing book. The movie's pretty cute, too.

Little ones can end this post now. The next tattoo may or may not be parentally approved.

 So, sorry about the lack-of-shirt thing.. I just really liked this tattoo and she was covering herself. Plus, I'm guessing that more than 50% of you have boobs or "almosts" (mostly girls are the only ones that say they read my blog).. ANYWHO, I thought that this was a really pretty tattoo. I love tree tattoos. No clue why. But if you guys are really offended/felt that this wasn't at all appropriate or acceptable, I can take it down.

Disney

Disney songs are the soundtrack to my childhood. I know every one by heart. (Well, of all the movies I've seen..) I always wanted to grow up to be a Disney princess. Still do, actually. I mean, I've already got the prince..
**All but one of these pictures is from HERE. Check it out. 147 pages of pure Disney magic!!**

 I plan on doing this to my kids one day.. Cada and Cheddar better watch it.

 This made me laugh like crazy..

 Is it weird that the first thing I thought of was Ben and I? Because it's totally what we do..

 Sounds like some people I know..

Bug-A-Boo

I realized that I haven't posted any pictures of my Bug (a HUGE part of my life) in a while. So here's a little update-photodump of that cute little monkey. 

Since last time, Bug has begun to talk more and form actual words (not like "anthropomorphism" but like "mama" and "dada" which is a start.) We've taught him some new stupid pet tricks. If we run our finger up and down his mouth, he'll make a loud noise which we then alter with our fingers. He can clap and eat cheese toast now. Since he has little teeth-nubs, we can feed him all sorts of new foods.

He's a lot more mobile. He can crawl easily and will crawl ANYWHERE you let him go. He can pull up on things and, I believe, stand on his own. If you hold him up by the arms and kind of nudge his ankles, you can get him to take a step or two before he collapses and goes back to crawling. Some new favorite games are pretty much anything that makes noise and chase (I'll get on the floor and crawl with him. He thinks it's hilarious.) The old favorite of knock-Brina's-phone-on-the-floor and climb-all-over-Brina-to-get-her-phone are still in effect and becoming more and more challenging since he can actually stand and crawl now..

That's about all I can think of now.. (Is it weird to be talking this in-depth about someone else's baby? o.O I feel like a creeper but I love that little turkey so..)

 It kind of entertains me how worried he looks in this one..

 A self-portrait he took of himself. I kind of love this picture.

 Eating some cookies!! He loved them.

 I love how he's completely focused on the camera. Uberly entertaining.

 This is actually quite old. But whatever.. 

 Another one. I love his face in this picture.

 At iHop, nomming on some pancakes.

In the car. You can see how focused he is on my phone. (The car wasn't moving.. It actually broke down right outside of my high school. I was entertaining him while Andrew and Aunt Amanda-- his parents-- fixed the car.)

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words

The above quote (also blog title) is from William Shakespeare. I don't know what from because I'm just an uncultured swine like that. Haha xD yeahhhh. Anywho!! It's gotten really cold down here. (So cold that this blog post has frozen solid!!) And I just have snow on the brain. So here are some (very pretty) pictures of snow. Because I don't actually write on my blog. I just treat it as my own little Tumblr. (I'll write soon. I promise. Maybe. I'll try. ANYWHO..)
