Yes, that's right, I did it
People, I said I was gonna do it, and I finally did. I got a tattoo. Don't have a heart attack mom, it's all good, and I promise I'll stop at one. It was an ongoing thing amongst me and my friends that I would get one for my 30th birthday. The original plan was to do this in Vegas. Well, Vegas fell through. The next best plan? Going with J to his "guy" (it pays to have connections people, got it at an awesome price). J got another one as well (actually two-they're pretty cool). Don't think I can keep up with him, but I am certainly not the tattoo virgin anymore (right girls? Sorry no Iron Age for me!).
So what did I decide to put on my body for the rest of my life, you may ask? Well, it's a shooting star. I let my tattoo guy have some artistic license in designing it and I must say, he did a great job. I love it. It's on my lower back. I've shown everyone at work-not sure how appropriate that is, but whatever. It is now in the midst of healing. Currently, the green part is peeling-it's really nice. Seriously.
You may ask: did it hurt? Well, let me tell you, it didn't feel good, but it certainly was not the worst pain I have ever felt, that's for sure. It was more like a burning sensation, and just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore, it was over. I definitely don't regret it.
P.S. if you see me driving by and notice I have a green frog lodged in the front grill of my car, do me an favor-DON'T ASK. Thanks.

another funny email
This email made me laugh too. Either I'm in a good mood today or just easily entertained...or both. Have fun!
Are you tired of those sissy-ass "friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship:
1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
4. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.
5. When you are confused -- I will use little words (I'm confused a lot-this step would be really helpful-KD).
6. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.
7. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass (especially if you fall UP the stairs).

George Carlin's new rules for 2006
My friend Erin emailed this to me. I thought it was funny, had to share with y'all!
KD
New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for Classmates.com! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days: mowing my lawn.
New Rule: Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Trout?
New Rule: Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these kids: lucky bastards.
New Rule: If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards, you're gay. If you're a kid, the cards are keepsakes of your idols. If you're a grown man, they're pictures of men.
New Rule: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.
New Rule: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket - water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water
New Rule: Stop f***ing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.
New Rule: The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge asshole.
New Rule: I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount, deciding, no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy.
New Rule: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual. It's right above the crack of your ass. And it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high.
New Rule: Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They're already doing that. It's called "The Howard Stern Show."
New Rule: I don't need a bigger mega M&M. If I'm extra hungry for M&Ms, I'll go nuts and eat two.
New Rule: If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy, old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.
New Rule: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.
New Rule: and this one is long overdue: No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. I don't want to be on your webcam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.
New Rule: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months. "27 Months." "He's two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't really care in the first place.

Showers, showers everywhere!
Wow, it was a wedding shower weekend! Back to back showers on Saturday and Sunday. Red, was someone feeling a little hung over on Sunday morning??????
Saturday's couples shower was hosted by friends of Jon's parents. There was a rather large amount of alcohol consumed that night. I knew we were in trouble when approximately two sips in to their Cosmopolitans, my mom and my sister looked at each other with silly grins on their faces and said "these are really strong". Uh, yea.......in their defense, they were strong, I had one and nearly choked on it. Mom went on to have one more and declared to me that she was drunker than she had ever been (like the public embarrassment mom???) and my sister bragged all night that her glass was never empty. My girls were not the only intoxicated ones-not by a long shot. Everyone there was pretty much wasted. I noticed this as I remained sober-the volume of the conversations got louder and louder as the night went on.
Despite all the drunken craziness, the shower went well. My sister and Jon received lots of nice stuff and bravely fielded questions from the peanut gallery. Thank God the questions remained fairly PC-I saw the horrified look on my dad's face a few times-he was a good sport though. Sister dear-thanks for our sisterly chats in the bathroom! I love ya!
Sunday's shower was just us girls. My mom and all her sisters hosted a shower for Red and Jessica, my cousin's fiance. Aunt Cheryl played hostess and had the mimosa's rollin'by 11am. Brunch was fantastic, and as Maid of Honor I got to sit at the head of the table (I figure as the 11th or 12th most important person at this wedding that I deserved this honor). Red and Jessica both ooh'ed and ahh'ed over their various kitchen gadget-thingy's (Pyrex for everyone!). I wrote down several of my sister's statements that will be used against her on Saturday at her bachelorette party (Aunt Paula and I laughed hysterically every time she said something that we twisted into a dirty/perverted statement-we're not right!!!!).
We're down to crunch time people! The wedding is a month from Wednesday. This Maid of Honor needs to go get her dress altered. Now.
PS-pics from the shower are located on the Family Blog (Sibs and More). Follow the link. It's very exciting.

I couldn't resist
Uh oh.....
people, I discovered how to put pictures on my blog. now you're all in big, big trouble. check the pic of the possum and the Kotex. had me laughing out loud, I tell ya!
Non-word of the day
"Unrespondant"
Folks, I hate to break it to ya, but this is not a real word. Please don't use it in a sentence. This has been confirmed by both www.dictionary.com and www.urbandictionary.com (thx for your assistance Stephen). Thank you for your cooperation in this matter and God bless.
Application for entrance into the SKA School of Business
Dear Dr. Fuquad,Hi, my name is Ms. DuMass, my friend Kerri recommended I contact you. I am a doctoral candidate at the FFT (fan-f***ing-tastic) School of Technology in Anytown, USA. My area of concentration is the study of socializationology (the study of socially socializing and the impact of this on society). It is a specialized field, there are only three people with a PhD in Socializationology in the United States.
I am writing you because I am interested in possibly combining my field of study with one of your more prestigious programs-the study of Certificatology. We at FFT Tech highly regard the SKA School of Business and I truly feel that by accepting me into your program, we can make the world a better place.
Please consider this my official application/request for entrance into the SKA School of Business beginning Spring of 2006. I look forward to your reply, Dr. Fuquad.
Sincerely,
Ms. DuMass, PhD candidate in socializationology
Possum clarification
I want to clarify that the "J" mentioned in the below Possum Story is in no way a reference to Jesse. I would never want to insinuate that Jesse may be afraid of some woodland creature. I chose "J" because, um....because it's my favorite letter. The story is, in fact, about a dude named Frank. Watch out for Frank people.

things you find out about people
Time for public embarrassment for J. Baby, I just gotta tell someone. Why not on my blog? People, J is afraid of possums. It's true. Especially big, 30 pound cat-like possums with razor-sharp teeth. Spread the word..........(I luv u baby!)

PMS Part 2
Such good timing. My friend Heidi sent me this email today and I laughed out loud. It's a must-read y'all!
Dear Kotex,
I recently noticed that the peel-off strip of my pantiliner had a bunch of "Kotex Tips for Life" on it. Annoying advice such as: Staying active during your period can relieve cramps. - Avoiding caffeine may help reduce cramps and headaches. - Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day to keep you hydrated and feeling fresh. - Try Kotex blah blah blah other products.
Obviously the person behind this was someone who has never possessed a functioning set of ovaries. Go ahead and tell a menstruating woman TO HER FACE that drinking 6-8 glasses of water will help keep her feeling fresh. See what happens and report back. I'll wait. While you're at it, dump out the coffee at work and remove the chocolate from the vending machine. I garan-friggin-tee that the first responders will be females who just ovulated. Look, females don't need or want tips for living on feminine hygiene products. Younger girls are already hearing "helpful" crap like that from their elderly relatives. Veteran females have already concocted their own recipes for survival, many containing alcohol. Printing out shit advice while sneaking in ads for the brand THAT WAS ALREADY PURCHASED is just plain annoying, not to mention rude, and enough to send a girl running to the Always brand. Mostly we'd like to forget that we even need these products. It's not a fun time, but DO NOT try to cheer us up by adding smiley faces or bunnies or flowery cutesy crap to your products or the packaging. Put the shit in a plain brown wrapper so we can throw it in our carts discreetly and have it blend in among the wine and beer. There is nothing more annoying than having a blinding pink package announcing your uterine state to everyone in the store.
The ultimate goal of your product should be functional invisibility at every stage, including at the point of purchase. So take your tips for living and shove them right up your ass. Try drinking six to eight glasses of water to make you feel fresher while you're doing it!
Ovarily Yours,
Miss PMS

Baseball fever
Yes, it's that time of year. All MLB players have reported for duty at their respective spring training camps. It's time for baseball y'all!!!! I get so excited this time of year. As a Cubs fan, each spring is filled with anticipation and hope that this year could be "the year". True, this is pretty much delusional thinking, but it gives a Cubs fan hope. My boys are working out and practicing in Mesa, AZ as we speak. I'm a bit sad that I will miss spring training this year. Last year, my friend Erin and I trekked our way to Arizona to see the boys in action. My plan was to do this yearly, however, SOMEONE (my sister) decided they needed to get married this spring instead (I'm just kidding Red-you know I can't wait for your wedding!). I'll not say that my Cubs are gonna win anything. I will, however, go out on a limb and say I think they will at least be competitive this year. I think the NL Central is gonna be one of the best divisions in baseball. I can't wait for the season to begin. And Tim, I promise I'll sign up for your fantasy baseball league-when is the draft? Stephen-what do you think the Windians chances are this year?
Make sure to check out the latest poll-it's baseball themed!
Ick
Without providing too much detail, let me tell you this-the PMS monster has struck. Why is it worse some months over others? Ladies-y'all know what I'm talking about. Today I have experienced the following symptoms: road rage (J witnessed this), crankiness, sleepiness (still experiencing this one), no energy, limited patience, and wanting to eat everything in sight (which is not good as I have 5 weeks till my sisters wedding and need to be able to fit in that bridesmaid dress). Why don't boys have to go through PMS? It really isn't fair. True, they have to deal with us, but I truly think they should have to physically experience it. YOU try having cramps all day and having to deal with crazy people at the crisis line!

Happy 30th Birthday Stormy!
Hope you are having a great birthday Stormy! Welcome to the 30 and Wonderful club! It's exclusive membership-Robyn and I are already there-Lizzard-you're next!!!!
It's hard to believe-I have known these girls since we were 14 years old. To think that 16 years has gone by is amazing to me. Wow! So much has changed, yet we all remain friends and I hope it stays that way forever. Lizzard-I hope to get to see you if you come to St. Louis. Is your mom allowed visitors? What hospital will she be in? Let me know if you want me to "check in" on her for ya!
Stormy, I know you just gave birth and all (and little Maddie is absolutely beautiful, by the way-looks just like Chy!), but I hope you are able to have a nice relaxing birthday. Have Chy take care of ya! :)
Love all you gals and I hope to see you soon!

I don't have much to say today-must still be asleep or something. Plus I have a TON of work to do. Adios till later folks!

Happy Valentine's Day
Hope everyone has a fantastic Valentine's Day and that you are spending it with the ones you love! I'll be spending it with J. He gets to experience one of the rarest occurrences ever-me cooking. Yes, I am going to cook for my man. This may make or break the relationship. No, I am confident in my ability to impress him with my mad kitchen skills. This is gonna be fun..... better have a backup plan baby!
To those that are single, here's hoping cupid shoots you in the butt with his arrow!

birthday good times
What a great 30th birthday weekend! Thank you to everyone who helped me celebrate the very last birthday I am celebrating! It was so awesome to have so many of my friends and family around me. Made me truly feel loved and blessed to have all of you in my life.
My actual birthday was a great day. Got to spend it with J which was perfect. He gave me the greatest birthday gift ever-30 roses for 30 years. I loved them and have them proudly displayed in my apartment right now. I love you J! You are too good to me! Had a great dinner at Joe's Crab Shack-dude, I love that place! And listening to the conversations of the people in the booth behind us was good times! After dinner, we ended up having an unplanned drinking binge at the bar. Whew! Don't know what I was drinking, or exactly how much I had, but suffice to say, I felt every bit my 30 years the next morning! That was harsh!!!!
I got so many wonderful phone calls on Thursday. Got to hear from Canada who is in, well, Canada (aka Mr. Canada 2006-congratulate him next time you talk to him); my uncle Rich in Texas, my cousin Mike in S. Carolina. Also heard from Anita (Arkansas) and Eric (Chicago) as well as blast from the past Cortland. Thanks for calling guys-I love you all!
Saturday was a great day as well. My parents and Tim arrived at my apartment around noon. We had a great time shopping for parts for my dryer (thanks for the tool kit daddy! and thanks for working on my piece of crap computer Tim!) and having some lunch at Chili's (they have really good food! Had no idea!). In not so fun news-I'm pretty sure I gave myself a concussion getting into my parents van. It's two days later and I still feel light headed and dizzy. Not to mention the big knot on the top of my head.....
My party was great. I hit the Captain and Diet Coke early and often (not to mention those chocolate martinis-LOVE it!). My mother was drinking Captain which was scaring me a bit as mom doesn't drink often. Dad was cracking me up (did he really have to throw the stuffed mushroom?). Tim got a little drunk, I think, as did Red, or at least pleasantly buzzed. Everyone got to meet J. Seems it went ok. Denise was the Karaoke Queen-thanks for alerting the entire bar to the fact that it was my birthday! I got to be the center of attention after all! I can't wait to get my film developed. I have no idea what is on most of the rolls-can't wait to see what kind of craziness was recorded! I was just so happy to have everyone there! Sorry to those of you that I may not have been able to spend much time with. It is just so hard being the social butterfly that I am! :) Just know that I appreciate and love each and every one of you. Thank you sooo much everyone! Who turns 30 next?

Birthday Eve
Sup everyone? Happy snowy Wednesday to all! Today is my manager Chris's birthday. If you see her, be sure to wish her a Happy 40th (ha! ha!)-Chris you look GREAT for 40! :) Tomorrow is the big 3-0 for myself. I suppose I am ready. I have about 6.5 hours left of my youth. I've been called "grandma" once today (thx J!) and my boss Bart told me I looked good for 35-thx for that as well!
The main thing I am looking forward to is having some time off from work. I'm not back till Monday. Good times. I am looking forward to the long weekend. It's gonna be busy but awesome-I will be surrounded by everyone I love-can't ask for much more than that!

Yo! What da hook gon' be?
Monday evening and all's well. I am very excited that I have a four day weekend coming up and only have to work two days next week. Cool!!! Birthday week is upon us folks. Here at work, we have my manager's birthday on Wednesday, mine on Thursday and my fellow supervisor Laura's (and my managers sister!) on Friday. Scary-three Aquarian's-we're a lot alike too, so it makes sense.
Found out my whole family is coming up this weekend. Very nice that they want to celebrate my impending old age! I'm sure mom will get a lot of "you guys look like sisters" on Saturday night. Think we can get dad to sing some karaoke? Maybe he can sing "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" to mom like he does at home! Mom/dad-I'm sorry in advance if I am a bit intoxicated that night. It can't be helped.
Well, must get back to work. I have a deadline to get all my January stuff done by tomorrow. No more distractions. Focus, people, focus.......

T minus one week....
The big 3-0 is exactly a week away. My youth is slipping away from me quickly. To be honest, I think it slipped away a few years ago, but then I wouldn't have anything melodramatic to write about on my blog.
I actually feel older than dirt today as I have some sort of sickness (besides in the head!). Just feel achy, nauseous, and my head hurts. I left work early last night w/a 100 degree fever and was asleep by 8:30-9:00pm. It was awesome! I am back at work today because even though I feel yucky, I don't feel bad enough to justify staying home. Besides, I have a ton of work to do and would just feel guilty if I was at home, on the couch, in my jammies, reading People magazine and watching Lifetime movies (man, all that sounds really good....).
Big weekend plans, anyone? I am having a pre-birthday celebration with some of my girls on Saturday. I am gonna miss not being with J all night. Expect some text messages baby-especially after I start drinking! :) It should be fun. We are going to see another 80's hair/metal cover band. Shhhhh....don't tell Uncle Jimmy I am cheating on Ivory Tiger!
I actually feel older than dirt today as I have some sort of sickness (besides in the head!). Just feel achy, nauseous, and my head hurts.
