The anticlimactic tattoo
22 Apr 2010 Leave a Comment
So, I got a tattoo.
End of story.
LOL ! It seems like there was so much leading up to the tattoo….picking a date, deciding on a design, etc. And then in just a short 25 minutes, it was done and life goes on.
I will post pictures soon. The first few days it is all red and ointmenty while it starts to heal. Now, it is sore and scabby. So, once it looks decent, I will post some pics.
And, it did NOT hurt. I know mine is smaller so it didn’t take long to do it but still, it just felt like little pin pricks as he did it. I have a high tolerance for pain, but really I think it would be bearable for just about anyone.
Anyway, got a tattoo….anticlimactic.
P.S. Did I say this was going to be my only one ? hee hee
Ugly Betty *SERIES* Finale
15 Apr 2010 Leave a Comment
As most of you may know, I was a big Ugly Betty fan when it first started airing 4 years ago. I actually got hooked when I watched an episode that introduced accountant, Henry Grubstick, I knew immediately that he was the one for Betty.
At the end of Season Two, they “jumped the shark” for me. At this point, they had completely written Henry, and in turn, the relationship between Betty and Henry, into a corner that even a miracle or an entire dream season couldn’t fix. The last episode of Season 2 was the last I watched………until now.
When it was announced that this would be the last season, I combed the Entertainment News websites and “spoiler” sites periodically to see if there was any sign of Henry. There was not. Then, lo and behold, in a best kept secret, he showed up three episodes ago. I watched the two episodes he was in and I wished I hadn’t. His visit and their storyline wrap-up left me cold. She was not the Betty I had loved in Season 1 and 2. And, he was still stuck in a corner with nowhere to go.
Now, many predicted, that last nights episode would have Daniel and Betty finally realize their feelings for each other and leave us thinking that they were endgame. I disagreed. I thought Daniel might take a shot but I felt that at this point, the best way to leave Betty was on her own, living her career dreams.
Thank God I was right. The ending for me gave both Daniel and Betty an understanding of how important they were to each other and the courage for each of them to pursue their dreams. I might have seen some one-sided feeling from Daniel, but I never saw it from Betty. And, as hard as Daniel’s mom tried to convince them both I don’t think either really wanted to go that way. I was a little disappointed to see Daniel follow Betty to London like a lost puppy, but I am glad they are remaining friends.
I think the ending left it so the Daniel/Betty fans can make their own happy ending – but it also left it so the Henry/Betty fans and even the Gio/Betty fans, can still have their happy endings too.
Somehow as time goes by in my little Betty/Henry loving heart, I will find a way for them to be reunited once again.
Adios, Ugly Betty. You will be missed.
Reality TV and me
14 Apr 2010 1 Comment
So, I am constantly giving my friend, Courtney, a hard time about watching “ALL” reality shows and sometimes I think she takes it in the fun I am intending and other times, I think I irritate her. LOL.
Anyway, back in the beginning of reality TV she probably did watch most of them because to be honest there were only a handful. But, now that there are like 100 at least, I can honestly say she no longer watches “ALL” of them and in fact probably only watches a handful.
I was totally against reality TV in the beginning but now that there are like 100 of them, I have also picked out a few that I follow. My main requirement is that there is some sort of measurable competition that determines the outcome. I have only one right now that doesn’t follow that guideline. So, in no particular order, here are the ones I currently follow :
- The Amazing Race
- Top Chef
- Chopped
- Project Runway
- Dancing With The Stars
Dancing With The Stars will probably be off my list next season. I just wanted to watch to see Olympic Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek and I might even stop watching when and if he gets booted.
The reason I am mentioning all of this is that with the resurrection of my blog, I am going to start having comments on these shows after they air. I used to not really post TV stuff on my blog because I didn’t think most people would care about what I watch on TV but then I decided, this is my blog, why not.
To press or to mash, that is the question……

I posted this to my facebook the other day but of course I was limited on my words so I thought it was worth posting here too.
Apparently, “mashing” a button on a credit card machine is an East Texas thing. The other day, I was helping this guy do a void on his credit card terminal. I said “Press the VOID button” to which he replied “Mash it?” to which I replied “Yes, mash it.”
I adapt.
Twitter Reminder……
11 Apr 2010 Leave a Comment
Just as a reminder, I do actually twitter fairly regularly. These are one or two sentence updates/comments usually posted when I am out and about. They show up on the right-hand side of my blog where it says “Recent Tweets” – so when you are looking for a current update about what I am doing and you see no new blog post, you might see something new there. Just FYI.
Also, if you twitter, you can follow me at : totallytracy
Tattoo Weekend
09 Apr 2010 Leave a Comment
Well, tattoo weekend is just a week away. I stopped by the tattoo shop [Hellbent Tattoo] last night to drop off my preliminary design so they can re-draw it and make stencils….as if I know what that all means.
Anyway, the basic design is 3 butterflies that will go on my left ankle. The top one purple, the middle one red and the bottom one green. This represents my favorite color, JoLynn’s favorite color and Joey’s favorite color respectively.
The butterflies are probably tattoo cliché, but they mean something to me and when I am 90 and Mason and Morgan have put me into a home, I won’t be embarrassed for the 3 little butterflies on my ankle when the cute male nurse gives me my sponge bath.
So, on Saturday, April 17th, I’ll be under the needle for my first tattoo…..I’m a little nervous but very excited because I have wanted one for a while.
Hmmm…..anyone still out there ?

I am changing this up a bit – maybe trying to do it again. I have fallen in to the habits of Facebook and Twitter and can only seem to write 140 character updates but maybe that is all the blog needs. So, I am cleaning this up a bit and seeing if I can get back in the habit.
I’m kinda “over” Facebook right now, so this might be the new stomping grounds…..again.
Might be a Friday 5 tomorrow, might not be.
