30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 1

Day 01 — A recent picture and 15 facts about you


At work today... And you can see my new hair here!

1- I have three kids. They're my everything.
2- I'm married to my best friend. We don't have the perfect relationship by far, but we balance each other out well. :)
3- Tattoos are my passion. I have 15 of them so far.
4- As well as music. Almost any kind.
5- I'm not fake. What you see is what you get. Take it or leave it.
6- My family is amazing. They are the glue that keeps me together.
7- My friends are pretty great too. I don't know where I'd be without them.
8- I tattooed a heart on my hubby. And it started an addiction. I want to be a tattoo artist some day!
9- I'm very outspoken. I may come off as a bitch because of this, but so be it.
10- I can get a little redneck at times. Especially if alcohol is involved or you really make me mad. I guess that's the Shifflett in me.
11- I've lost three people who were very close to me in the past year. It still kills me inside and I still cry about it almost every day. I don't think it will ever get easier.
12- On my days off, there's nothing I'd rather do than be with my kids.
13- I work full-time at nTelos as a Customer Care Rep. Some people don't like the job, but I really don't mind it. I make it through the day with lots of laughter. :)
14- Good Charlotte is my favorite band. I have their "GC" logo tattooed on my ribs and "Motivate Me" from one of their songs on my foot.
15- I love the sound of a tattoo gun and the smell of green soap. Have I mentioned I am addicted to tattoos?

  1. I'm sorry for your loss. I lost two family members in a matter of three months, twelve years later I still miss them but all of the memories are still there.

  2. Hugs Mamma. It may never get easier, but the crying will not happen so often as days go on.

  3. Is this something I can do with you? Did you link up somewhere? (I'm still a little new to blogging).

    I am sorry about your losses. I had something very similar happen to me in a year's time, 3 years ago. It never gets "easier" but you do adjust. I will pray for you.

    I also LOVE tattoos! I only have 5 now, but have 2 or 3 planned out. my next will be a rib piece. :)

  5. I love getting to know you! This is my first time on your blog and what a perfect day to show up!

    I'm far too chicken to get a tattoo so I'll let you keep racking them up! I love not only your hair but your work place! You've got so much warmth and happiness! I have white walls and a picture from the Office Space staff. Boo!

    Have a fabulous weekend!

  6. Thanks for all the lovely comments, ladies! :)

    The pain of their loss is getting a little easier, but now we're coming up on the one year anniversary of the day my Papa left us... so, that's going to be pretty hard! :(

    As for the 30 Day Blog Challenge, I actually saw it on Google and can't find a link up for it... lol.

    And thanks for the comment about my workplace! :) I try to surround myself with things I love (like my kids!) to make my day a lot happier! :) lol!
