Motivation

I've spent the past two and a half years striving for the motivation I would need to get the body I desire. I've come closer to doing the things that I would need to do to gain that body but still not necessarily motivated. Today I found a picture that will henceforth be my motivation.

"I Gotta Brand New Tattoo"

Joe had an appointment to get tattoo work this morning and surprised me by offering it to me!
I spent most of the session reminding myself that I gave birth to an 8lb. baby without any medication.

There's no pain here!

Joli thinks tattoo parlors are the best! Every one there thought she was the most adorable thing!

Two hours later my faerie was complete.

It's not too big but it's definitely not small. Joe also pointed out that there's plenty of room next to her for a little boy...hmmmm, interesting Joe!

Now I just have to keep reminding myself that it's not a sunburn.

Def Leppard and Poisen!!

Tonight we totally rocked out in a flashback to the 80's. We all met up at Chris and Kacie's. Every one's costumes were awesome!!!

Of course I was the only girl but hey, I knew the songs and even brought the CD's! Kacie said that she would watch the girls so both Chris and I could go. Mikey and Lil' Bear came with us too!
When Lil' Bear came in Joli started crying but as soon as he told her who he was she gave him a big hug!

We met some other fans in the parking lot and had to get a picture.

There may have been some consumption prior to the event... and then once we were there also.

The guys all looked awesome, and there were plenty of girls there to back that.

Before too long one of the guys showed up with his girlfriend so I had another girl to rock with.

I can't wait til Halloween! I think I'm going to dress up the whole week!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty much sums up the night! Joe and I went to see some AWESOME bands play tonight, and thanks to Chris and Kacie, it was just the two of us (love you guys!!). We had so much fun! We made a little stop at the margarita stand on our way in.
Once we were seated we just hung out and messed with the camera.

Then the first AMAZING band came on! Saving Abel was so incredible live! Some people didn't even realize they were going to be there as they were the "opening band", but they were one of the bands that we had come to see. Joe and I LOVED it!!

Then the next band started setting up for their show and we entertained ourselves again.

Another PHENOMENAL band! Papa Roach was also so amazing live and had a great set of old and new.

Joe and I both love Papa Roach. They totally rock!!

Since my bladder is incredibly tiny, I slipped off to go to the bathroom and then decided to stop at the beer stand on my way back. I just wanted one beer. Man they are starting to cost a lot!

Apparently the cashier pushed the wrong button so I hung out for a little bit while the manager was calling the bank to make sure they didn't really charge me that. Then they offered me a free beer for waiting. Whoooooo-hooooooo!!

Once I got back the next band came on, which also played an awesome set. You can't really read there name, but it was Hinder.

There was quite a bit of time between the third band and the last one, but we managed to stay busy.

At this point I'd had half a margarita and a HUGE beer. It's safe to say I was a wee bit drunk.

Joe took my camera away because he said I was being insane, but then he took more pictures of me. Hahahahahahahahahaha!!

Finally Nickelback made their appearance. Apparently some people had just come to see Nickelback as I heard some girls in the bathroom talking about how disappointed they were that there were three opening bands, um...hello!!!! That was the whole point. To go to a concert with four awesome bands!!! Well we certainly got our money's worth. And Nickelback so totally rocked!!!

It was a little harder to get good pictures in the dark but I did end up with one good video. The band was so much fun! The lead singer is hilarious!!! Then he got together with the lead singers of Hinder and Papa Roach and sang AC/DC's "Highway to Hell". It was so awesome!! The later in the night they sang Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places"!!

I pretty much screamed and danced through the entire show. In fact I knew how long to let my screams go based on whether or not I was starting to black out. But Joe agreed that I have quite the scream in me. When we first showed up there was a preppy couple sitting in front of us that kept giving me the dirtiest looks every time I screamed. I wanted to say "Oh I'm sorry, isn't this the ROCK CONCERT!!!!!".

Nickelback had some supremo pyrotechnics! There were a few times when I was sure the whole damn thing was going to burn down. It was awesome!!!

Okay, so I've been to some awesome concerts, but hands down, best concert ever!!!!

More Bad Faerie!

Laume has all of her photos uploaded now and I found some awesome ones of me from bad faeries day!

I wasn't the only one with the red and black idea!

Such a Bad Faerie!!

Nap Time

Another Bad Faerie

Today was FUN!!!

Hanging at Sam's

William, Joli and I headed over to Sam's house yesterday as Joe was there and we wanted to see him! Here's the three brothers Sam, Joe and William!
Sam was trying to teach William to do back flips off the diving board but William is so tall he kept hitting his stomach!

Sam's a shorty (not really, but shorter than William) so he was able to pull off the spin.

Here's the group playing flip cup.

Since Joe was being responsible parent and driver I had the green light to drink. But there weren't really any drinks there that I like, so I decided to make my own. I named it the Lisa Island Ice Tea. It was 1/3 Absolut, 1/3 orange liqueur, 1/3 Malibu, some ice and a splash of ice tea to give it color. This picture didn't load right, but it very adequately describes how I felt once I finished it.

I was trying to take pictures of everyone from the diving board and William decided he wanted to use it. Joe is so funny, hahahaha!

The three brothers started to get creative and tried to make a tower.

The problem was always after one guy got on another guys shoulders. There was just too much weight for the next guy to make it up.

They tried several different combinations, and they were all the sober ones!!

Eventually they gave up and set off to find happiness elsewhere.

Somehow we all ended up in Sam's room watching the kids jump from the bed to the giant beanbag. Here's the brothers again.

It was awesome to hang out with everyone!
