Tattoos and pregnancy tests...

This year I came up with the best April Fool's joke... and it totally flopped. It's sad when you put a lot of effort into something and it just doesn't work out. In my nursing program, there is a lady who is about 7 months pregnant. One day I was thinking, "wouldn't it be funny if I got her to take a pregnancy test for me and I can play a little trick on my dad..." I wasn't going to do it, but my mom convinced me otherwise. She even bought the test for me. We also got my other sisters involved. For the past couple of weeks we have been complaining of back pain, nausea, not "feeling right" to build up for the day. Then I got the girl to take the test for me. She so funny; she came back from the bathroom, yelling "it's positive! I'm having a baby!" Which threw off everyone in my class cuz they're like, "um, you're 7 month pregnant... and you're just realizing now that you're having a baby?..." So anyways, I have the bathroom all set up; the test sitting on top of the toilet, the pregnancy test box kinda peeking out of the trashcan. Does he see it on April Fool's day? No. It was driving us all crazy. He didn't see it till Sunday night, when my sister was coming out of the bathroom and he was heading up the stairs. He was giving her a good night hug and saw the box in the trash can. He was like, "... who needs a pregnancy test...(smirk) I know my girls better than that... good try..." and then laughs. It was heart-breaking. Great idea and great effort, but wrong people and wrong timing. Darn us for having such a good relationship with our daddy...

Onto more exciting news, I finally got my new tattoo! It almost my tattoo's five year anniversary, and to celebrate I decided to give it a make-over...
Old tattoo. Not the greatest; one of the wings is bigger than the other one...
Tah-dah! New tattoo! It looks great in person, so be sure to check it out when you see me next. The guy who did my tattoo, Jeremy, was amazing... and really funny. I highly recommend him.
