> P A R T O N E — the wedding <

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

It was the day everyone was looking forward to, the day that both Victor and I were patiently waiting for, and now its finally here... our wedding day.

We decided that, instead of a church wedding, we'd get married in our best friends barn in his back yard then have the reception at a close–by venue.

We got engaged exactly a year and a half ago, knowing we'd want a winter wedding, exactly a week before christmas. We found a little snowy cottage in the mountains that we wanted to stay at / go to for our honeymoon.

My dress came in last month, and it fits me perfectly. Vic had his since last year, knowing he'd have to keep in shape in order for him to still be able to wear it, when everything finally comes into fruition.

We only invited our friends and family, total wedding and reception maxing out 50, we invited 40. Plenty of room to have a good time.

My maid of honor ‐ Deacon's wife Annie - helped me get into my dress while my two other bridesmaids ‐ Chris and Molly ‐ did my hair and makeup. I was okay with Chris not wearing a dress, as she opted for a dark purple and black pantsuit instead.

Once I got dressed and Vic's best man came for me ‐ Deacon himself ‐ I do my best to keep myself together as we walk to the front doors of the barn.

Since my dad nor my mom is here to walk me down the aisle, Deacon took it upon himself to take on that duty, not taking no for an answer. So here we are at the doors waiting for the famous song to be played, and Deac turns to me and says, "your beautiful. Victor's gonna be a crying mess when he sees you." I laugh as I hold back tears. "Don't cry, your gonna mess up your makeup." I chuckle and reply "who needs makeup when you're in love with someone who loves you no matter what you look like, makeup or no makeup. But thank you, Deacon, for being my shoulder to walk me down the aisle. It means, a lot since my dad's not here to do it."

Before he could respond, we hear our signal and fix ourselves. I hang onto Deacons arm with my left hand while my right holds onto my bouquet and the bottom of my dress as the barn doors are opened. I see everyone standing, the only person standing out to me tremendously, my soon–to–be husband, Victor Tan. And just like Deacon said, once he saw me he couldn't stop the flow of tears from his eyes. I did my best to keep my composure so my makeup wouldn't look like a wreck if front of our guests. As Deacon hands me off to Victor and gets back to his spot behind the groom, I hand my bouquet to Annie and step in–front of Vic and grab both his hands as the officiant starts the ceremony.

♡

"I now pronounce you, husband and wife, you may now kiss your bride." Victor smiles and leans in to give me one of the best kisses yet. We turn to our guests and the officiant says, "I pronounce to you, Mr. & Mrs. Victor Tan!" We kiss one more time and walk out of the barn holding hands, smiling.

We get into the rented range rover and drive to a nearby abandoned building and park.

We both agreed to wait to have sex once we're married, but to also not wait once we're somewhere private, either. So we opted for car sex. Passionate, sexy and meaningful.

Once he parks, we hurry to the back seat, put both seats down and strip ourselves naked, making sure not to waste anymore time than we've already lost by driving to our 'abandoned–building–sex' location.

He wastes no time in getting behind me, pushing himself inside and roughly thrusting in and out, his fingers leaving bruises behind from the amount of pressure he's putting on my hips.

As he fucks me harder from behind, I hold onto the pushed–up seat in-front of me and groan out loudly, my mouth open wide giving him the opportunity to grab my face and pull it towards him, kissing my lips as his fingers dig deep into my hips, searching for his high.

"Vic, aagh!" hearing me moan out his name gives him the drive to push forward and hit my gspot rapidly, his orgasm hitting him like a train, his cum spewing inside my vagina.

Once we've finished our spontaneous adventure, we quickly clean ourselves up and drive to our reception.

Victor parks in the 'just–married' parking spot and shuts the engine off. We make sure that we're put together right and get out, then hand–in–hand walk to the doors just in time as our announcer announces us and we walk through the doors holding our hands above our heads.

We walk to our table and find our seats ‐ Mr. & Mrs. ‐ and sit down.

We eat our meal, and dessert ‐ you know I had to smash cake in his face; he did too ‐ before it's time for our first dance.

After everything's done, and the reception is finished, it was time for pictures.

Our photographer snapped many photos ‐ some we loved and some we didn't ‐ and everything was good. You could just *tell* how happy Victor looked. You could tell. That look he gave me, was the same one he gave me while we were fucking in the rental car, just hours before our reception ‐ pure lust ‐ my favorite 'private moment' between us so far.

After pictures, we thank eveyone for coming, then leave in the rental range rover and head to our hotel, where we'll stay the night, then early that next morning ‐ 3:40 am ‐ we'll get up, pack and fly to our honeymoon.

> P A R T T W O — the honeymoon <

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

After Victor unlocks the front door, we finally walk in the cabin we're staying at for our honeymoon, and drag our luggage to our room. We spend a few hours in our room to ourselves, not coming out until it was 3am ‐ we were both hungry so I had to make something ‐ then going back for the rest of the night.

We finally came out of the room at 2, deciding to go outside and adventure, along with a few snowball fights as well.

A snow war, two snow forts and a shit ton of snowballs later, we go inside for some hot chocolate.

Victor takes off all his coats and his boots then goes to the cabinet and grabs two packets of hot chocolate. I take off my coats and my boots as well then sit on the couch in front of the fireplace and wait.

"I can't believe you ambushed me! Your own husband!" I laugh as he hands me my mug of hot chocolate full of marshmallows. "Yeah, thats something you should get used to." he laughs and sits down beside me.

"do you think anyone knew what we did after they announced us?" I laugh so hard, I sneeze chocolate out of my nose. "I don't think they had a clue, but you did fuck me good though, I'll give you that." he smiles. "thank you. I'll except that compliment, and raise you higher on that tonight."

We finish our hot chocolates and go back outside to the snow.

♡

It was two days before Christmas and we had already planned to stay at his moms until after New Years.

We pack that night and get everything ready for when we wake up early tomorrow morning to leave for the airport headed back home.

> P A R T T H R E E — home <

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

After an hour flight we finally land and grab our luggage and get off the plane. We go through baggage then head to security check. We walk outside to find his mom waiting for us. We stuff our bags in her car and she drives off.

An hour after we've gotten to his moms home, we settle in and get everything set and ready for Christmas ‐ and a surprise I've been waiting so long to give/tell him - as we both fall asleep peacefully next to each other.

♡

On Christmas morning, Victor surprised me with breakfast in bed ‐ grits {w. cheese}, waffles, bacon, milk and orange juice ‐ then we go open presents with his mom in the living room.

His mom got me some stuff for our new house, I got her a new pot and pan, she got Victor some underwear and socks ‐ to which he was embarrassed that she knew his size ‐ and he got his mom a photobook full of his childhood and adulthood memories.

Victor grabbed my present from behind the couch and handed it to me. I opened it and was shocked ‐ an ornament with a picture of us at our wedding, saying 'Victor & Miya, our first Christmas 2019.' "aww, Victor. You didn't have to do this," I smile then stand up to give him a hug and kiss. "but my present is better," he looks at me in confusion as I grab the final box under the tree ‐ a small box ‐ and smile, handing the box to Victor.

He looks at me with a weird face, but unwraps the red ribbon and pulls the top off the box, then he looks at me. "w–what?" I nod my head as I take a sip of my hot chocolate. "you're, pregnant?" I set my mug down on the coffee table in front of me and turn to Victor. "I found out last week. I wanted so badly to tell you, but I figured since Christmas was coming up I might as well wait. So I put all three tests in this box and wrapped it up, then made sure it was hidden so you wouldn't grab it first." Vic's mom was so happy, she started crying tears of joy. We all hugged each other then threw away all the trash from the presents.

Victor's mom makes up food while I get all the drinks ready and set them on the table. He helps her plate the food and hands them to me to take to the table.

♡

After we eat and Vic and I help wash dishes, we sit down on the couch and put on a movie.

After the ending credits rolled through, Victor realized I was asleep and carried me to the room, then got in beside me and also fell asleep with him cuddling me.

New Years Eve came around, and we had a party at our house. Everyone from SWAT was invited and we had drinks and plenty of snacks for everyone.

We all kept an eye on the time ‐ 10am became 2pm which then became 5pm ‐ until finally 11:18pm rolled around. Only 42 minutes left until New Years.

11:25, 11:35, 11:45, 11:55, then came 11:58, only two minutes until New Years.

Once it hit 11:59, everyone started counting down from 60 ‐ 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, ‐ "5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Happy New Year!" everyone yelled out as Victor's lips found mine and captured them in a kiss, ready for whatever the new year brings us.

Ashleigh Wayne Fic Masterlist

An Irish Mother's Day (Part 2/2)

~800 words

An Irish Mother's Day (Part 1)

Kate decided to takes Ash out on her first Mother's Day since she lost her mother in an attempt to distract her, plus it's a great chance to meet Renee.

The two headed downstairs, drank tea, and chatted until Kate arrived. As soon as Ashleigh heard the doorbell she excitedly rushed to the door, Bruce in tow.

Kate was waiting by the door. She greeted the two, giving both a quick hug.

Ash looked curiously around the hall. "I thought you said Renee was coming?" She asked Kate.

"We're picking her up on the way."

Bruce ruffled Ash's hair. "You mind going out to the car, I want to talk to Kate for a second?"

Ash gave him a curious look, but did as she was asked.

"Have fun!" He shouted as she headed out the door.

"Is everything alright?" Kate asked, "Do you not want me to take her?"

"No, nothing like that, I just... She might be a little off today."

"Mother's Day, I know. That's why I invited her, I figured she'd want a distraction."

"At least one of us was thinking."

"I am the brains of the two of us, and the brawn, and the looks. Now that I that I think about it, why do I keep you around?"

"Hardee har," Bruce gentle punched her shoulder, "thank you though, really," he added, "but if you, and Renee want to be alone, I'm sure she wouldn't mind. I can bring her, and some of the others to the amusement park or something."

"It's fine, Bruce, really, I want to bring her, plus Renee is really excited to meet her."

"You promise she'll be okay?"

"I promise."

"If she gets a little off-"

"I will take care of her," she stated.

"Thank you."

"Now can we go? I've still got to pick up Renee."

"Go on, and bring me back something from the gift shop."

"Will do." Kate shouted back as she headed for the door.

"Kate," Bruce shouted, after her, "I don't think she slept last night, so she might fall asleep in the car on the way back."

"Of course she will, the only way to keep Ash awake in a car is to stuff her full of sugar."

11:00 PM

Bruce jolted awake as someone fumbled with the door lock. He stood up from the stair step as the door opened, and Kate, and Renee walked in. Renee was holding two bag while Kate held Ash, who was sound asleep, arms around Kate's neck, and her head nestled into her shoulder.

Kate smirked. "Didn't trust us?"

"I just figured you'd be back sooner, the zoo shut hours ago"

"We went to get food, I'm surprised I didn't get a call from you."

"Alfred took my phone."

"Remind me to thank him."

"You want to put her to bed?" He gestured to Ash.

"That's alright, I've got her," Kate said, already heading up the stairs.

Bruce turned to Renee. "Coffee?" He asked, gesturing towards the kitchen.

"Yes, please."

Bruce made her some coffee, and the two sat down at the table. "So, what took you so long? The zoo shut hours ago, and food does not take that long.

"We did go out for food, and then to the amusement park for a little bit."

"Wouldn't it have been closed at this hour?"

"When has that ever stopped Kate before?"

"Ah, that would explain the cotton candy in your hair."

"Kate," She mumbled, plucking the fluff from her hair.

"You didn't mind her bringing Ash?"

"God no, she's great. Like a little bundle of excitement waiting to explode."

Bruce grinned, happy to hear they'd gotten along. "What's in the bags?"

"Well we couldn't leave the zoo without going to the gift shop, Ash fell in love three of the plushies, but had only brought enough money for one, she couldn't pick between them, so Kate, being Kate bought her the three of them."

"What are they?"

Renee grabbed then from the bag, and placed them one by on on the table. "A bat, a cat, and a robin, Kate also got you this," She said, sliding a fridge magnet, with a picture of two monkeys taking a selfie, across the table, "She said, and I quote, this is the cheapest thing I can find."

Bruce picked up the magnet and placed it on the fridge, he knew it was a joke gift, but he still loved it. "How was Ash? Did she enjoy it?"

"She loved it. Seemed real happy most of the time."

"Most of the time?"

"She got really quiet, and kind of sad a few times, but Kate kept finding ways to quickly cheer her up."

He knew Kate would keep her promise. "Speaking of Kate, I wonder what's taking her so long?"

"She seemed a little tired on the way home, I'd bet any money that's she asleep beside Ash."

The two headed upstairs, and discovered that Renee was right, Kate was sound asleep under the covers with Ash.

Renee gentle snuck Ash's plushies in between the two, then left them alone. Bruce headed to bed, and Renee stayed the night in Kate's room.

Okay, okay, okay, so, this is not anywhere close to as finished as I want it to be, but it is a finished as it's going to be for the foreseeable future, because I just don't have the inspiration, think that's the right word, to do the rest of what I wanted to do, but I might come back in the futures, and redo it.

I have like a million W.I.Ps for this AU, and I just want to start calling some done, you know? So I hope there should be more coming very, very soon (or maybe there mightn't be, but I'll try.).

I'm doing this AU because I like it, and I basically spend all my spare time day dreaming about it. I'm doing these for me, and just sharing them with you, so I'd rather release a poorly written one a week, them a well written one like every month or more. I'm just waffling on at this point, hope you enjoy - TBN

november book round up

8 books this month. i have not been reading as much as i thought i would. in fact this post is a few days late because i totally forgot about goodreads for a while (which is how i remind myself to do this).

the spencer cohen series 1-2 - n.r. walker ⭐️⭐️ meh. something about this author’s style and the way she writes just does not work for me. i think it’d be better with more editing (there’s sooooo much repetition in a not good way) but also... idk, even though the plot of this was silly and tropey in a way that i would usually love (fake dating!) i just thought it was dumb. i won’t be reading the other books in the series.

this foreign affair - harper bliss ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ a pleasant surprise, but then again, i usually like harper bliss books. i didn’t expect to like a ‘love at first sight’ type romance but this was good! long distance lesbians, falling in love after heartbreak, first time with a woman, learning to start over... lots of good things in this one.

drawn together - z.a. maxfield ⭐️ so bad i don’t even want to talk about it lmao. dumb plot, fetishistic at best, racist at worst, lots of rape culture, a REALLY bad main character. i’m a victim of my own stupid ass edict (don’t abandon books once you spend a certain amount of time on them).

sin city series 1-2 - tricia owens ⭐️ REALLY BAD. pretty much a handbook on being a terrible shitty capitalist pig dom. another series where i really should have stopped with book 1 but i think i’ve finally learnt my lesson with this one, and the previously mentioned edict is out the window.

the ruin of gabriel ashleigh - k.j. charles ⭐️⭐️⭐️ cute short story set in the society of gentleman universe, visiting some characters that i super duper liked! ash and francis are mfeo lol.

mr. loverman - bernadine evaristo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ fave book of the month! (which might not seem like it’s saying a lot lol but i really liked it.) a 74-year-old gay antiguan man living in england makes up his mind to leave his wife for his long time lover, and the book covers his decision making and waffling and the fall out. wonderfully written, witty, clever, extremely human. i adored it.

that’s it for november. tbh i’m mostly playing video games with my free time right now, so i don’t have many book plans for december... we’ll see what happens! currently reading gideon the ninth.

about the writer tag game

i’ve been tagged by @kidsarentallwrite and... i’m not exactly sure if i’ve done it before (i might’ve??? can’t remember what i tagged it as though) but i’m going to do it (again???) for new followers & also... who knows, maybe in these 4 months of running my blog i’ve changed. ha. (also yes ashleigh the moment i saw your username the fob song played in my head and i just knew, right then and there, that i had to follow you)

nickname: yall can call me whatever you want! just make sure i know that, well, you’re referring to me

zodiac: i’m a cancer, and i remember taking that really specific test / quiz or something that places all your other moon signs klajsdklajds astrology things and i was gemini in all of them. which is ... i think, fairly accurate. on both accounts. (even though i don’t really know much about astrology)

height: 167. i refuse to believe it. i must be taller!

time: 7:27pm and i’m waiting to walk my dog but i have no idea where he is

favourite band(s)/artist(s): if you’re asking right NOW (i have... periods of obsession), they are hua chenyu, jay chou (who am i kidding, he’s permanent), and umm.... i think it’s easier to ask me about songs that i’m obsessed with. they’re a bunch of hua chenyu & jay chou songs.

song stuck in my head: okay so this is difficult because there are so many, but i’m going to be smart about this and choose a song that combines both of my favourite artists (above) -- hua chenyu’s cover of jay chou’s 双节棍 (nunchucks... yes, it’s a weird title). or yknow, hua chenyu’s 齐天 (i... don’t know how to translate this)

last movie i saw: avengers endgame. yes i am fast. HAHA.

last thing i googled: the english translation of 齐天. HAHA. google couldn’t help me either. the easiest i can explain it is... it’s a title that sun wukong, or the monkey king, from journey to the west has. but not the full title, but like 50% of it. he’s known as 齐天大圣, which means like... the great sage, heaven’s equal. or something like that.

other blogs: my main blog is for my own trASH SELF

do i get asks? sometimes!!! i really love receiving them! <3

why this username? i honestly have no idea. my fingers typed and this came out and here it is

following: 328. wow that’s quite a bit.

average amount of sleep: too much to excuse my fatigue in the day.

lucky number: idk but my favourite number is 17

what am i wearing? shirt and shorts.

dream job: writing??? somehow i kinda wanna try acting even though i’ve never acted in my life HAHAHAHA. i really don’t know man.

dream trip: south america!!!!

favourite food: right now there’s nothing on my mind (or in my stomach) but i’m going out to get waffles and ice-cream soon so

instruments i play: piano & cello

eye colour: black

hair colour: black

aesthetic: i’m not good with aesthetics!

languages i speak: english, mandarin, learning spanish & japanese in school right now (but... school is over. so yea.)

most iconic song: skdfjldskjflds whatttt do you want me t o say?!! 王铮亮’s 时间都去哪儿了 is pretty iconic in my life right now. not the lyrics exactly, but yknow, just the entire theme of the song revolving around... well, where has the time gone to.

random fact: going overseas on sunday yeeeesss

as i was doing this i was pretty sure that yea, i have done this before, but i think my answers have somewhat changed. not about the fixed stuff like yknow, horoscope, but the others. i might’ve tagged you in this before, but i’m just gonna tag people i wanna get to know @insearchof-solace @focusdumbass @marewriteblr @quilloftheclouds @nyxnevin @roselinproductions @aslanwrites @bookenders @surroundedbypearls @farrradays <3

Ashleigh grinned at her. “Yeah, sure! I’ve got the waffle batter all mixed up over there and the waffle maker is hot. Itd be a big help if you want to make them for me.”

Burn Before Reading || Laya & Oliver

oliver-dash:

Oliver didn’t so much as open his eyes, grumbling softly as he burrowed into the pillows before his snores became steady again.

Ashleigh looked up, smiling brightly at her. “Good morning! Yeah, I thought we could all use a good meal. I know Oliver hasn’t eaten much of anything at all in days, and I know you haven’t either, so I’m going to make a ton of food.”

Laya smiled cheerfully, “It smells great! It woke me up.” She chuckled, “Can I help? I’d love to.”

"I dare you to let me be your one and only"

i like that i laughed at ashleigh’s anon calling her out re: parentheses but then i saw this ask and was like, okay but i would rewrite it: let me be your one and only (i dare you)

smh

aaanyway. i’m waffling between betty x veronica and trini x kimberly. it has a distinctly teenage-ish feeling to it. i’ll probably go with trini x kimberly because i’m VERY behind on riverdale.

i’m actually seeing a ranger squad bonding night where they’re all playing truth or dare and trini has kim and kimberly picks dare and trini like. hesitates. and then tells kimberly to do something silly. BUT WHAT WAS TRINI REALLY GOING TO SAY?

kim follows her home to find out.

(plus about 8000 words of background and filler and this obviously takes place long after the movie so trini’s actually gone out with a few girls and surprise surprise kim and jason aren’t Meant To Be so kimberly is just watching trini with longing but a total lack of understanding what she’s feeling and it’s just GAY KIMBERLY GOD)

(spoiler alert: there’s a smooch)

anyway it’s really cute and i’m really Feelin’ It

Haleigh smirked still circling her hands around him: I asked if you were okay baby.

The Happy Planner: Stuff I love, how I use it and more!

We have made it home from CHA/Creativation! Ashleigh & I had such a nice time! We met so many nice peeps and learned a ton about the craft industry. I only have a few photos from the show, both my camera & my phone were having some sort of meltdown which was super bad timing! But I do have a blog post planned with some of the neat products I tried and things I want to try in the future. I came down with pneumonia on Christmas and it has worn me out. I kept losing my voice which was embarrassing! I plan on catching up on a lot of sleep this weekend!

In November I went to Michael's and came across The Happy Planner. I saw them all over Instagram and thought they were pretty cute! But I was using a really nice Kikki.K for personal planning and a Rifle Paper planner for work planning. Michael's had a ton of cute planners, accessories, etc but I wasn't sure about the ring system. I'm notoriously hard on things and thought for sure I'd be losing pages! I ended up holding off until December when I scored a 60% off coupon + 20% off your total purchase. I picked up the Classic Minty Fresh because I really liked the dividers and the page colors. Since purchasing it, I've become totally obsessed! I thought I'd share it with you today along with some of my favorite supplies.

I use my Happy Planner as a combo of a personal daily planner + daily memory keeper. I use a lot of stickers, stamps, pens, scrapbook supplies and washi in my pages. It's a big mishmash of thoughts and journaling is something I really look forward to working on each day. I like to either spread everything out on my living room floor or just grab a few pens and curl up in my chair, writing away. It's cozy and a nice way to spend a little quiet time.

I totally admit that my personal life isn't all that exciting or busy and this is exactly what I struggled with when first using Hobonichi. It's easy to see journals and planners online and think your life doesn't quite compare. I've felt those thoughts. Trust me. But I've learned that for me, embracing the quiet makes me appreciate what I have so much more. I write about what books I'm reading, the weather, coffee with friends, shows Eric & I have watched, birds we've seen, outfit combos that I liked wearing along with practical things like grocery shopping, hair appointments, doctor's visits, etc. It's a collection of a lot of little moments that make up each day! Also: colorful!

Some of my pages have a ton of stuff on them and some don't have much at all. Blank spots are fine and I don't mind if things run into each other or off the page. I don't stress about it! It seems against the rules to be unhappy while working in a happy planner. ;) The above page was from last weekend, I had so much to share that it's just all over the place! I tested out inks from different manufacturers, stamps and pens at CHA on this page, stamped the Saguaro National Park Passport and printed a photo of Ashleigh's first roadrunner sighting, and more! It's all over the place and I like that.

The best part of The Happy Planner for me is how fast and easy it is to customize. I've made a bunch of covers by laminating pretty scrapbook paper, I've switched out the rings, I've made folders and dividers. I really like this aspect because I *adore* holiday things. I like that I can use a million Valentine's Day things and totally indulge in all the seasonal goodness!

I like to buy clip art from Creative Market for stickers and printables from Etsy. A few shops I've tried and have gotten really nice sets from are: ElysianPrintsCo, ilove2print and DesignLovelyStudio. I do have a Cricuit Explire Air 2 that I occasionally use for shaped stickers or cutting out folders (I use this cut file!) but mostly I print stickers and kiss cut them by hand with an exact-o knife. I find it relaxing in the evenings.

I've also purchased some stickers from Etsy that have been super cute! I really love the quality of CleverGirlCraft's foiled stickers, Honeyinked clear stickers, Virgoandpaper kits and Paperandmilk!

In 2015 Ashleigh & I fell down the rabbit hole of stamps. We spent so much time sending flurries of texts back and forth with wish lists of stamps. There are SO many cute stamps out there! Obviously I'm going to mention Waffle Flower Crafts first because Ashleigh designed stamps for them and they are super cute! ;) I'm not the best stamper but on my pages they are the cross stitch cactus and unicorn! I bought an ink set from them last weekend and I've really enjoyed stamping with it! It comes in a cute box which I like, I don't have a ton of room left in my craft cart so I appreciate self contained things. ;) I also really like Pinkfresh, Mama Elephant, and Lawn Fawn! This moon phase stamp is super high on my wishlist right now along with this Bear and Bird stamp set!

And I love fine pens! On JetPens website you can search gel pens and then tip size. I prefer .38 if possible. I have very messy handwriting and fine tip pens make it so I can fit more of it in a small space. ;) One thing I've recently become obsessed with are pens that have tinted black inks! Like Bordeaux Black! It's black but also super deep and rich wine color. They are based in California and I usually get my order within a day or two. I've also had great experiences with The Goulet Pen Company.

I found this cute little clear envelope at Staples! It's from the Martha Stewart discbound collection and I think it was around $4. I kept business cards and our business license in it last weekend and it was SUPER handy.

I am forever forgetting to use promo codes and coupons. I made this little folder and tucked all the things that expire next month right with the February divider so if I decide to buy something, I have everything all in one place!

And finally, a bit of happy mail. I've had my eye on this set of Field Notes for ages and finally bit the bullet! I have no idea what I'll write in them but sheesh, they are so beautiful!

I've had the worst day. Lots of little things piling up all day and then, I get to the checkout at the supermarket and realise I've left my purse at work. Cue a mini meltdown in the (not so) privacy of my car in the supermarket car park. Ugh.

Had a hard time trying to figure out how to end this part for some reason. Overall I really enjoyed this part. I really tried to do this part right.

Masterlist

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4 (Part 2)

The New Bat: Day 4

(Part 1)

I got up about half eight, and went about my morning routine before heading down to the kitchen for breakfast. All the worry from yesterday had disappeared.

I walked in, and could see Alfred sitting at the table talking to Steph and the black haired girl. Jay was over by the stove cooking something.

"Morning." Steph excitedly said as she spotted me enter.

"Hey." I smiled to her.

"Good morning, Miss Ashleigh." Alfred stated as he stood up from his chair and walked over to Jay. "Master Jason, has eggs on if you'd like some."

"Plenty for everyone." Jay said, not looking away from the pan.

"Yes please." I eagerly said. I wonder if Jay's as good a cook as Alfred.

Steph gestured for me to come over to her. As a reached the table, Steph quickly introduced me to the other girl. "Ashleigh, this is Cass."

"Hello."

"Hey." Cass replied.

"She's a woman of few words." Steph explained. "Come on, sit." She gestured to the seat beside her. "You up to anything after breakfast?"

"No." I replied as I sat down.

"Well, me and Cass were wondering if you-"

"Actually," Jay interrupted her as he set down a plate of waffles and egg in front of each of us, and took a seat beside Cass. "I was wondering of I could rob you for a while today?"

"Uhh... why?" I looked at him curiously.

Jay glanced over to make sure Alfred was occupied. "I can't tell you right now but it'll be fun."

"What are you up to Jay?" Steph questioned him.

"None of your business, Blondie."

"Well I guess I could always ask Dick." Steph leaned back smugly with a smirk on her face.

Jason groaned. "Fifty dollars if you keep quiet."

"Jeez, that important. Deal." Steph quickly replied.

Jay looked to Cass. "And you?"

Cass took a moment to reply, teasing him, I think. "Deal." She eventually agreed.

Jay looked back to me. "So are you in?"

I looked to Steph. "What about your thing?"

She smiled and shrugged. "Our thing can wait."

I looked back to Jason. "Sure."

"Yes." He exclaimed excitedly. "Now eat up. We've got work to do."

I glance at Steph, she was scoffing down her waffles. "Should I be worried?"

She shrugged again as she swallowed. "Probably not."

Jay and I finished our waffles, they weren't quite Alfred quality but they were amazing, and stood up from the table. "Alright let's go."

"Ahem." Steph held out her hand.

Jay groaned again and handed the girls a handful of bills.

"Pleasure doing business." Steph said counting the bills.

We said our goodbyes to Alfred and left. We walked down the hall until we stopped outside a door. "Isn't this Bruce's office?"

"Yup." Jay peaked carefully into the room as to make sure no-one was inside, then gestured for me to follow him.

We stepped inside the room and and crept to the far side. "Are we supposed to be in here?"

"Nope, but it's the quickest way down to the cave." Jay knocked on an old grandfather clock and it slid aside to reveal two fire poles going down.

"We're going down to the Bat-cave?" I asked excitedly.

Jay smiled back at me. "Yup. Now have you ever slid down a pole?" I shook my head. "Just do as I do." He explained.

Jay grabbed firmly onto the pole and then wrapped his legs around it. I copied him and we both went sliding down. It felt like a long time before we reached the bottom. It was equal parts amazing and terrifying.

"Not so hard." Jay commented as our feet touched solid ground.

"Yeah, not so hard." I stepped off the pole. My legs were shaky but I immediately forgot about them as I looked around the Bat-cave. I had expected a lot of things from the Bat-cave, a dinosaur and giant penny were not one of them. "Wow."

Jay pulled a key out of pocket. "It's always amazing the first couple of times you come down here. Now follow me."

I followed Jay across the cave and looked around in amazement. I could see a huge computer, and a wide variety of advanced looking vehicles but we stopped beside a regular looking red muscle car. "Are we going somewhere?"

"Nope." He opened the trunk and pulled out a pair of dufflebags. "Grab that last one will yah?"

I grabbed the last bag and followed Jay. "So what's in these?"

"Guns." He replied bluntly.

"Huh" I exclaimed. Jay snickered. "So what are we doing exactly?"

"Well, long story short, Dick slapped me, as revenge I'm gonna show him pictures of you holding guns." Jay explained. "He'll have a fuckin heart attack when he sees them."

"So do I actually get to fire them." I wondered.

Jay grinned at me. "You can if you want. It'll be even better."

"Cool." I muttered to myself.

We walked through a set of doors into a firing range. This must be the one Dick was referring to. We set down the bags on a table, then Jay unzipped one and pulled out an AK.

"Does Bruce know you have her down here Jay?" A voice asked from behind us.

We turned and the red haired girl, Kate, was sitting on a table behind us, she was holding a large rifle. "Of course he does." Jay quickly replied.

"I don't believe you." Kate said, narrowing her eyes and setting down the rifle.

Jay shrugged. "I didn't think you would but it was worth a try."

Kate smiled at him. "So, what are you up to?"

"Well I was going to take pictures of Ashleigh holding guns to upset Dick."

Kate nodded. "That seems about right. We're you going to let her fire them?"

"If she wanted to."

Kate looked at me. "Do you want to?"

"Kinda. Yeah." I replied excitedly.

She gestured to the Jay and the AK. "Maybe start with something smaller."

Jay looked at the AK. "You make a good point." He set it down on the table and rummaged through the bag for a moment before pulling out a pistol. "Is this small enough?"

She nodded, then he handed it to me. "Heavy." I commented without thinking.

"Oh yeah," Jay responded. "And loud." He threw me a set of headphones then pulled out his phone. "Put that on and switch the safety off."

Kate walked over closer to us. "There's a little more to it than that Jay."

"I'm sure she fired a pistol before." Jay looked at me. "Right?"

"A couple times." I lied. I mean how hard could it be.

"See Kate, she'll be fine."

"If she isn't-" Kate began in a threatening voice.

"She will be." Jay insisted. "Go when your ready."

I flipped the safety off and fired a round. The kick was more then I expected and I stumbled back.

"You all right?" Kate asked quickly.

My hands were shaking a little. I was nervous. "Yep. Fine."

"Legs wider apart." Kate instructed. I did as she said. "Better."

I fired another shot. This time I didn't stumble as much.

"Dicks gonna freak." Jay said looking at the pictures he had just taken.

"Go on. Fire the rest off." I heard Kate shout encouragingly.

I fired off the rest of the magazine then set the gun down. Kate and Jay walked up beside me. "How do you feel?" Jason asked.

"Fine. Yeah." I was still a little shaky.

"Not bad for a beginner." Kate said looking at the target. All the shots had at least hit the target.

I smiled to her. "Thanks."

"Now do the AK." Jay shouted.

"You can't just give the kid an AK." Kate argued.

Jason held up the AK. "Why not?"

"Its a fucking AK, thats why."

Jay pouted. "Come on Auntie Kate, pleeease"

I giggled at him. Kate grinned. "Jay, I'm going to shoot you myself if you don't stop."

"Fiiine." He rolled his eyes and threw me a magazine. "Have another go with the pistol if you want."

Kate showed me how to load pistol then I started shooting. The shots were, for the most part, slightly closer to center than the last mag.

We must have spent a couple hours down there. Eventually Jay convinced Kate to let try a handful of different guns, all under her careful watch, of course.

"Nice shooting, kid." Jay commented. "Definitely improved from this morning."

"Thanks."

He took the rifle from me. "It's about time to pack it in, but we're definitely revisiting this."

"If she wants to." Kate commented from the back, she was sitting on a weapon crate.

"Of course she wants to." Jay shouted back, then turned to me. "You want to? Right?"

"Absolutely. This was awesome."

"You know, I think I'm going to like you." Jay said as he walked over to the table and began putting the guns back into the bags. Suddenly, his phone rang. He glanced at it. "Artemis." He muttered to himself. "Kate you mind packing these up. I gotta take this." Kate nodded and Jason ran out of the room. "Hey Artemis-"

Kate walked over to the table and picked up were Jay had left off. I figured now would be as good a time as any to ask her. "So Kate," I walked up beside her. "Dick said you wanted to talk to me."

Kate placed another rifle in the bag. "Yeah. I figured we'd talk later but now is good. If you want me to drop the topic just say."

"Okay." I said wearily.

"So Bruce and Dick asked me to talk to you about you figuring out your gender."

I flinched. "Oh."

"They figured I'd know more about it than any of the others. You want to talk about it? If not I can drop the topic."

"Sure. Let's talk." I agreed. I didn't want to talk about it but maybe she'd have some helpful advice.

"I'm no expert on the subject, just know whatever we talk about will stay between us."

"Okay. Yeah."

"So, explain to me how you feel."

I peeked at the door to make sure Jay didn't come back in then I took a deep breath in, then let it out. "I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. I just know I wasn't comfortable with... who I was. I started questioning my sexuality, around the beginning of secondary school. It took me a couple of years but I'm pretty sure I figured that one out." I smiled a little.

"And what are you?" Kate asked, packing another gun into the bag.

"Pan. At first I thought Bi, but then I learn about Pan online. It just seems like the right fit for me."

Kate nodded, zipping the bag closed. "Okay, and what happened after that?"

I took another deep breath. "Around sixteen I started thinking a lot about different genders. I started seeing lots about Trans people online. I was amazed, it hadn't even crossed my mind that you didn't have to be what you were told at birth, that you didn't even have to be Male or Female."

"Must have got you thinking."

"Yeah. I started looking into it more and more. I kept telling myself that I was a guy, that this stuff was just interesting to read, and then..."

"You realized it was something else." Kate finished my sentence.

"Yes. After about a year of trying to figure myself out, I couldn't. Eventually I spoke about it a little with a close friend of mine. She suggested we go out to some place public, where no-one knew me and, well, tried it. At first I tried just being a girl. The name Ashleigh, it felt right, so did the pronouns, but I just didn't... feel like a girl sometimes. It still didn't feel right."

"So that's when you decide you might be Non-binary?"

"Yes. It was about six months ago. Not long before... I met Bruce. I didn't tell him straight away. I didn't tell anyone, only that one friend." I could feel a lump forming in my throat. "We kept going out but this time I felt right a lot more."

"You felt like yourself."

"Yes." I smiled. "I chose my name, my gender, how I dressed, It felt amazing... but I still kept it secret from my friends and my family. I only was me in places no-one knew the old me."

"So why'd you tell Bruce?"

"I didn't. Well I did." I quickly corrected myself. "After the adoption went through, Bruce was helping me pack the things in my room, he was packing my clothes and found a couple of skirts and a dress. He asked about them and I answered. I didn't mean to say as much as I did but I started and didn't stop till it had all come out."

"How'd he react?"

"He encouraged me to be who I was and not who I was told to be. He offered that I could be introduced here as Ashleigh, instead of... my old name. I explained how i wasn't a hundred percent certain on anything, he promised that if I changed that no one would care as long as I was happy and true to myself."

"He's right. No one in this house will judge you for figuring yourself out. It doesn't matter if you change your gender, sexuality, name, pronouns, or anything else a thousand times, we're here for you, all of us, we'll support you. You decide who you are. No one else get a a say in that."

I smiled at her. "How do I know though? Somedays Non-Binary feels right, but some days it doesn't?"

"You'll figure it out. Sometimes you just gotta try something and if it doesn't feel right, try something different. You'll find what's right eventually."

"It just feels like I'm lying to other people, even myself sometimes."

"Your not. You're figuring yourself out, everyone's entitled to that."

"Thank you Kate."

"You okay with hugs?"

"Yeah."

She put her arms around me and pulled me in. It was nice. I felt warm, safe.

"Am I intruding on something." Jay asked from the door.

"Nope." Kate let me go, but kept her arm around my shoulder.

"Okay then." Jay threw a bag over his back and grabbed the other two. "I gotta go. I have to pick up Artemis and Bizarro." Jay said as he walked towards the door.

"Just know Ashleigh, if you ever need to talk, I'll listen. About this or anything else." She told me once Jay left the room.

I leaned slightly in to her. "Thank you."

I felt her hand ruffle my hair.

"We should head back up." Kate looked at her watch. "Dinner should be ready soon."

UX Website Design

UX Website Design?

I’m confused by the term “UX Website Design” I’ve been doing web design since the internet was invented and there has been a huge evolution from the 8-bit days of websites with music playing as soon as it loaded and cheesy animated gifs. (and yet somehow .gifs are making a comeback) The evolution of communication is fun to think about

Websites began as an online version of a trifold pamphlet you would pass out to prospective clients – flat, no style information only. And now they have evolved to be interactive with live feeds from social media, videos, and who know what is on the horizon for website design. I think the next step for website consumption will be grafted into the VR experience. Soon we will all watch movies, play video games and surf the web using VR like the minority report.

Waffle House

How much do you pay your employees to represent your company well? Let’s say on the conservative side $15hr X 40hr work week = 2080 hrs a year you can get from average employee. So the cost to pay them for 4ohrs for 1 year would be $31,200. Now think of what it would cost to have a 24/7 waffle house type presence in front of your target audience representing your brand. 24X365 = 8760 X $15hr. Take a guess at what that would cost you…$131,400! So it blows my mind when a company doesn’t see the value of a website that cost $5k to be built properly with great SEO and a great user experience!

So what does any of that have to do with UX? Well by the simplest definition of UX Design

“The main goal of design research is to inform the design process from the perspective of the end user.”

ike the ease of use, interaction, the layout…yeah basically so the user has a good experience all around

That’s what I’ve been doing forever, look at our website design portfolio just never called it UX, #stupidhipsters

Parks Howell from The Business of Story said it best “Spoiler alert: I hate to break it to you that your brand is NOT the hero of your story. Your customer is. Place them at the center of your brand story and magical things will happen.”

We learn everything we can about the target audience, and then iteratively test our work throughout the design process.

ROI

Like I mentioned before, website have evolved past the brochure to being a powerful selling tool for your brand that should result on a quick ROI.

Web Design Scholarship

Generation Z, my generation, is engrossed in technology. We are “born with power cords not umbilical cords.” This generation couldn’t be more perfectly named! We have become Zombies to our technology. We have reached the point that Albert Einstein feared. “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots!”

With more and more technology continuing to develop, Generation Z will become more and more lazy because of everything that technology can do for them.

So the question is How do you get inside that little box they keep staring at to influence their buying power. What amazing user experience, UX, can you provide to reach this generation that FFW through every commercial on TV and streams music with no commercials?

Website design has experienced a huge evolution from the 8-bit days of websites with music playing as soon as it loaded and cheesy animated gifs. (and yet somehow .gifs are making a comeback) Our evolution of communication is fun to think about

We began communicating with hieroglyphics and evolved, then devolved our way back to modern hieroglyphics in emoji based communication on apps. Websites began as an online version of an information pamphlet that was flat and had no style. And now they have evolved to be interactive with live feeds from social media, videos, and who know what is on the horizon for website design. I think the next step for website consumption will be grafted into the VR experience. Soon we will all watch movies, play video games and surf the web using VR with our friends without ever leaving our homes.

If you want your business website to be found by Gen Z you will need to research into what websites their generation already spends their time on. Then see if there is a trend, a commonality to those sites that attracts them. This generation is highly social, as long as it doesn’t involve actually being social in person. So placing advertisements of your business on social media that they use will allow them to “bump into” your website and they might want to try it out. It is also helpful to have your website displayed on the first google page for searches related to businesses because they will not put in the effort to look further into google when looking for something. If they do not find what they are looking for on that first page they will try searching something else to find the answers they are looking for.

Another good way to get their generation interested in your product or service is to offer a sample or free trial of it because they want to know what they are buying before they buy it. So after they land on your website, design it in a way that draws the user’s eyes to a free trial offer. This is a brilliant marketing target for every generation; however, you want your sample to be small so they if they like your product they will have to buy it to continue to enjoy using it.

All of this changes the way of how we market today because my generation consumes information in a non traditional/nonlinear way. For example if someone is thinking about buying a bike, the progression looked like this:

Step one is they would go to google type in “what are the best shoes for …”

Step two then read reviews

Step three search for prices online

Step four buy a pair shoes .

But my generation is more organic in how we spend our time online.

My purchasing process is more organic.

I start my day my looking through twitter and the ads that pop up are the first ones i see that day. I am more likely to look more into the product if it is boosted my someone famous that I like or has a funny commercial. Then as my day goes on i get a snapchat from my friend of her new Vans which makes me wonder what other cool shoes are out there so I hop on pinterest. I would ask her where she got them and look up what other options there are. I would also ask her if they had any deals on them and if she did not know of any then I would go to google and look up discounts for the pair of shoes that fit my style.

If I saw a link to a video of someone famous that I liked I would click on it before I would click on a link to a website. Producing a funny video with someone famous and releasing it onto various social media platforms is the best way to get the attention of my generation!

Advertise your product through a snapchat filter

My generation has been raised on the concept that everything we own from our cell phones to cars somehow have an expiration date and we need to upgrade…NOW! The simplest definition of UX Design “The main goal of design research is to inform the design process from the perspective of the end user.” So knowing that should influence the design to be fun interactive, sharable and use brand power to influence our need to buy now before it’s gone and our old stuff is so uncool.

The more you learn about Generation Z and their lifestyle and place them at the center, the better you can design a website to fit their unique needs. The more creative your marketing the more people will want to “Share your article on social media and tell people to share and vote”
