Pic a Day in May: May 13, 2015

Another day, another tattoo picture. Mostly because it was the only thing I took pictures of today. Well it, and the tattoo I did right after that.

Skull and war bonnet.

One Year

It’s been one year since the Husbear and I were officially married here in Arkansas.

Which leaves us in confusion on what to call this day.

Yes, it’s an anniversary, but it’s not “the” anniversary. That’s in July. And is what we’ve celebrated for the last 17 years before this new anniversary.

Granted, this day is very important. We legally have protections that we didn’t fully have the 17 years before that. We don’t have to worry about each others family coming in to take things away from the other if something happens to one of us. We’re next of kin if something happens and we end up in the hospital. We had some legal paperwork that helped counter a lot of that, but it could easily be challenged.

Maybe there’s a Hallmark card out there that will help us figure this anniversary out…

Until next time...

12 of 12, May 2015 Edition

My 41st “12 of 12”!

The 12 of 12 Challenge was created by Chad Darnell and picked up from a number of random bloggers who then linked back to him and vice versa. Chad stopped doing the 12 of 12 links in December of 2011, but passed the torch to someone else who sadly hasn’t been keeping up with it. So as always, I’m giving my shout-out to Blobby of Blobby’s Blog as he is the one who inspired me to do it. And still does.

All pictures were taken with my iPhone 6.

It’s a little cool here this evening. And apparently milli wanted a lap to sit in.

Lap warmer...

I made a quick snack tonight, and while doing so, realized that a cheese quesadilla is really nothing more than a grilled cheese sandwich.

Grilled cheese by another name?

Pic a Day in May: May 10, 2015

We were helping our buddy Dwayne move out of his rental house today, and found this little beasty out in his storage shed…

Latrodectus mactans

Judging by the size of the Black Widow, I’m assuming this was a female. She was between 1/2″ to 3/4″ long. Until I squished it. And the several others I found while cleaning out the shed.

*shudder*
