Sunday Social.

1. What is your dream job? I would love to open my own coffee shop/secondhand bookstore.  My best friend and I have talked about it before, and I think it would be so much fun.  

2. If you had just won the lottery and didn't need to work for money, what would you do with your time? I would love to just travel, I'm having severe wanderlust right now, so to be able to visit anywhere and not have to worry about money, would be fantastic. I would also love to spend my springs storm chasing! 

3. What piece of career advice would you give to someone just starting out in your field? To anyone, make sure you love your job.  Life is too short to be at a job that you despise.  

4. What would be your ideal "just for fun" job? My coffee shop!   5. What was your first "real" job? Dietary aide at a nursing home.  

Sisters for Life & Best Friends Forever.

Princess,

This birthday marks a special one, we have now been sisters for more of your birthdays than not.  You are the crazy to my laidback.  We drive each other crazy, but I know that no matter what, if I needed you, you'd be here for me.  You are my biggest supporter and my best friend.  We aren't just Meghan and Mady, but we're "the girls." I can't believe you are already eighteen, since when did we get to be so old? I hope you have a great birthday and I wouldn't want anybody else as my sister, you push me, you pull me, you make me laugh and on occasion made me cry.  I love you so much seester!  

6 weeks.

This summer has been one of change and growth and adjustment for me.  And with those things come difficulties, growing pains if you will.  I spent the middle six weeks of summer pretty much an outsider in my own family.  & it's my fault. No, I'm not saying that to get a poor pitiful me, believe me.

I guess I should mention that I don't drive, just a personal preference I guess, so I depend on other people to give me rides.

Anyways, my Grandma was going to pick me up from the train station in our town(we have a commuter train that goes from Mpls to my hometown and back), and I communicated to my Dad and Mady that I had a ride, and somehow it didn't get back to my Grandma.

Mistake #1-Not communicating with her directly.

I found out through my sister, that my grandma was upset with me, argued with mady and my grandma.

Mistake #2-"Communicating" through Mady via text message.  I don't blame Mady for this, I should have quit texting through her and got off my butt and went over and talked to my Grandma.

Mistake #3-Refusing to apologize, as in I told my Dad I did absolutely nothing wrong, I didn't ask for help, so why should I apologize if I wasn't sorry, if I apologized and wasn't truly sorry, what would my authentic apologies mean then?

I was and still am splitting my time between my parents' houses going to work and then to school as well, and I would complain to my mom that I felt like an outsider and how everyone was treating me like crap and then I'd go home and go to work and whine about how much I missed my family and wish it would all just go away.

Mistake #4- Not listening to my work friends earlier when they said to just go talk to her! She'll forgive you! It took me six weeks of being pestered before I got off my high horse and walked(my grandparents live two houses down) over and talked to her.

Now, our relationship is back on track and I finally am back on good terms with everybody.  It was a sucky six weeks, but it taught me a lot I think.

So tell me, when did you make a mistake? I won't judge you promise

(p.s. I'm kinda scared to post this because it's personal to me, but I want to show you the good AND the bad of my life, so just go easy, k?)

Tattoo Talk.

 

Linking up with the beautiful Allie of Tales of a Twenty Something for her one-time link-up called Tattoo Talk.  

I've always been interested in tattoos.  I had my first tattoo planned when I was around 16.  It was going to be a butterfly with the word Believe through the middle of it. I remember telling my aunt and uncle about it and they discouraged me from getting it.  When I turned 18, I no longer liked that idea for a tattoo.  

When I was 18/19, I really wanted a Jesus fish with Philippians 4:6 on it, then that idea transformed into the infinity sign with the same verse.  I still want to get this one, but I think my first tattoo will be "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" with a few birds on it for all the loved ones I've lost.  

with birds like the ones on this tattoo:

(both pictures coutresy of my pinterest boards.)

I either want it on the back of my shoulder blade or on my collarbone or right below it.  I would also love to get a tattoo in remembrance of my grandparents on my mom's side, possibly the last four of their phone number in roman numerals or something of that sort, just because they had the same number from the time my mom was a little girl all the way up to when my Grandma passed away in 2012.  

Something I'll never be able to get a tattoo of? The saying "Just Breathe" thanks to this..

"Duh! I'm gonna breathe!" 

Do you have any tattoos? Do you want any? Go link up with Allie and tell us about them! 

Meghan Lately.

How are all of you loves on this chilly(at least here in Minnie!) Monday Morning?

I'm doing pretty good.  Enjoying a day off after working the last four.  The last four that dragged(drug?) by, partly because I was back and forth from the back of the front of the store more than I count and part because I miss my work momma because she's been gone for the last almost two weeks on vacation, which is SO not fair.

I haven't been doing anything too overly exciting lately, reading a few books here and there, I just finished up the Bared to You series by Sylvia Day and I loved it, think a much tamer and more of a storyline 50 shades.

I've been drinking altogether way too many pumpkin spice lattes, I should just buy stock in the 'Bucks.

I signed up to be a part of a this girl's blogging fantasy football team, for my first time doing it, I think I'm doing pretty good and haven't completely fallen flat on my face...yet.  Speaking of football, good thing I don't root too heavily for my Vikings, otherwise I'd be quite miserable.  3 and 0 guys, really? #notcool

I've been spoiling this pup and his brother and sister.  He's my favorite, but shh, don't tell the others!

& I was scrolling through my blog feed the other day, and Miss Amber was having a blog sale and I bought my first coach purse from her, I kind of love it, I was in dire need of a new purse, just didn't feel like looking for a new one, so this came along at the perfect time.
