almost terrible horrible day

So I get in my car to meet up with Lynn to go to NY. My car sounded funny starting up but I figure it is just from the cold. I stopped before getting on the highway for gas and when I tried to start my car it just clicked. A girl from the gas station tried to jump me but it didn't work. I called Lynn and told her I have to cancel and she can go ahead with out me but she is the best and said she is already on her way to save me.
I just happened to have Dave's AAA card in my purse. He had emptied his wallet before I dropped him off last week and I forgot to put his stuff in the house. The AAA guy showed up pretty quickly and got my car started but with bad news that it was my alternator and I should drive straight to Pep Boys. I ended up being one of the first people there and they took my car in. Lynn showed up a couple minutes after I got there so I went to see if I could possibly leave it there. They said of course no problem and that I could wait until tomorrow to pick it back up! Yay! Then we were finally on our way to NY.

Lynn got a super cute Fred Piggy tattoo that I'm sure she will post a picture of soon on her blog. I got an owl that I couldn't imagine being anymore perfect. She didn't have time to do color but I can't wait.

I was almost in the worst mood ever but with awesome helping friends and road trips my day was amazing! I have to go pick my car up tonight after work. Even though paying the bill will be a bummer at least I will have a working safe car. Just in time for more snow to shovel it out of yay!

nails

I tried something different with my nails. I haven't been painting my nails very often so it was hard to keep it steady

(ignore the mess ups)

I used OPI matte black and a cheap sparkly one from CVS

I tried braving the cold and took a couple pictures without my coat (maybe this is why I'm sick now?). I really wanted one without my cardigan because I had a cute lacy shirt under the dress but that wasn't happening.

We walked around a lot, went to Century 21(no one bought anything) and ate lots of yummy vegan food from Red Bamboo. Then we headed to Flyrite for my appointment. I have a hard time explaining what I want and most the time I don't have pictures (which I actually did this time) but Marina is so great at knowing exactly what I want and how I want it.

Baby Narwhal and Jellyfish friends

more Jellyfish

Before heading home we went out to eat which was not a good experience but we did take more silly pictures

Today I went to Brooklyn to hangout with friends and get tattooed. I first met up with my friends and went to The Brooklyn Flea. I didn't get anything but saw a couple cute dresses, an amazing owl clock and a little statute almost exactly like one my parents have had for as long as I can remember that I'm kind of mad at myself for not getting. After that my friend took me to Vice Versa. I saw a bunch of things I wanted for between $10-20 but since I have been trying to not spend as much I didn't get anything.

Finally we got to Fly Rite where Marina did this...

(just the script on my wrists)

ohh and after we went to Papacitos. I got a vegan burrito and it was delicious.
