Oh wow...I wanted a tattoo and I got one and I wanted to ride a motorcycle and that was what my first blog was about...I also want to scuba dive although I am not sure my 50 year body can do it!!!

Shannon said...

I agree... you do dress Pickle very well :)

And "You guys are eating like you're going to the chair" made me laugh. out. loud!!! That is hilarious!

I always wanted a tatto! My sisters have one and they said it hurt like HELL! Loved the post I may print it out and have my kids try and do it. That would be fun! Much Love -- don't forget to come by I left you something!

Kori said...

Oh these are awesome things about you.

As far as the tattoo don't think about it... Just do it.

Jennifer said...

The problem w/ getting the tattoo is finding exactly what I want! It has to be *just right*!!

I'd do it today if I knew what image I wanted...Maybe something My Chemical Romance? Maybe something w/ an eyeball?

I'm open to ideas!!

I knew you wanted another baby! OMG you would be so busy, do it, I'm so curious to know if it would be a boy or a girl.

Lori said...

Jennifer, could you turn down the air conditioner so I can make myself cozy at your blog and watch some football? And bring me another can of Pringles?

Sue Wilkey said...

WHO is Gerard Way? I am fascinated by other people's crushes. it makes me feel more normal about how I am going to marry Joe Jonas.

Jennifer said...

Ronda--I want to hear all about your tattoo!

Shannon--I think I say that a lot! I asked Andy to tell me some of the things I say to them and that was one of the first things he came back with!

Anissa--Get a tattoo, too!

Kori--Do you have a tattoo? If so--what is it?

Cathy--I would LOVE too--but Don's not into the idea.

Lori--NO!!

Sue--Gerard Way is the singer from My Chemical Romance. He's also my boyfriend. Maybe we han have a double wedding??

Jo-Jo said...

I can't say no to sweets either! Thanks for doing the 7x7! I have trouble...well lets be honest...I can't say no to desserts! I have a little something on my page for you. Come on over to see what it is!

Kori said...

Eating like you're going to the chair? I LOVE that! Mind if I steal it for myself?

Jennifer said...

Jo-Jo--I used to not have much of a sweet tooth--it's getting worse the older I get!

Kori--LOL--steal away!!

What a great list! Gormless...I Love it!!!! Use it in a sentence please so I can steal it....correctly.

I have 3 tattoos and I swam with dolphins...I highly recommend both! :)

Jennifer said...

Here you go Karla:

Although he appeared intriguing in the photo, he proved to be quite gormless and uninteresting in person.

It means stupid!

I'm jealous of your tattoos and your dolphin-swimming!

What? I'm not the only one who has to warn her kids about stepping into pet droppings? LOL
Great list!

Lex the mom said...

That list of 7 you don't do well - I could share it with you!

I think I have to ask my kids what I say often...that could be funny. Even funnier if I asked them what their dad says often.

I have a rose tattoo on my shoulder & I didn't think it really hurt much at all. I think it depends on where you get it. If it's a meaty part, not too much pain; if it's near a bone - more pain.

If you get a tattoo - make sure it's something you'll feel comfortable having sagging on whatever wrinkled body part when your upwards of 90 years old. ;)

Jennifer said...

Dysfunctional Mom--I should add that when I say that things about pet droppings--I do it in an Irish accent!

Jaime--Great list!! And you don't need to lose 10 pounds!!

Lex--I was thinking of getting the tattoo on my ankle--hopefully that part won't sag too much?

Anonymous said...

You're too kind, Jennifer. :)
ITA that the ankle is a very nonsagging spot. Good thinking!
