St Pattys Day

I am so random at picking up on this blog. I thought I might pop back on and write a little.
I have been back in school now, going on my second semester. I was studying for Vet Tech but I am not sure if I will continue on with that in my next semester. I love animals but do I really want to be underpaid to clean up after them the rest of my life? Do any of yall know Vets/vet techs and can give some advice?
 I also have been interning at Waldens Puddle which is a wild life animal rehab center here in Joelton Tn. It is definitely ALOT more work then I originally thought it would be. The staff there are saints and deserve more then they get for real.



There are a few pictures of some of the animals I cared for while working. It was a rad experience that is for sure but I learned I def. do not want to work at a place like that when I graduate. Its good work and someone has to do it but I like to play with animals and you cant really do that with the wild ones haha. Prolly a stupid reason but I guess that's part of why they make us do internships so we can see if we really want to do this or not. I did love getting to feed the baby flying squirrels. They are so soft, kinda like sugar gliders.

OOOh also I got accepted to study abroad this summer, so this June I will be heading to Scotland for a month. Words can not describe how excited I am to finally be going to see where my family is from. I can not wait! I am gonna try haggis and learn to speak Gaelic and see castles and and and I dont even know what else but its gonna rule. 


Other then that life has been pretty quiet. Just studying a lot and hanging out with my dog. I am ready for summer break and maybe will be able to have a life again. This semester has really been kicking my butt. The weather has been so nice all I want to do is ride my bike and hangout outside all day long.

artsy fartsy

I have been on a bit of an etsy bender lately, combing shops for anything that catches my eye. Ive mostly been into paintings, prints, animal heads, things I can hangup. I have never really been into knick-nacks as I hate clutter and things just lying around.
I came across an artist Arian Armstrong...she makes really cute drawings and sells prints and post cards. Go ahead and take a look at her store I know you want to. I had to buy some so I got her Under the Weather and Mr.&Mrs. Beaver prints. It gave me an excuse to get out of the house to find some frames. I think they look pretty good on my wall.
 I will definitely be buying from her again as not only is the quality really good but they got to me maybe two days later. Everyone hates waiting so the quicker the better!! I also finally got a frame for my limited edition Underoath poster. Yes they are my favorite band go ahead and judge me haha. Ive got a whole lot more stores bookmarked and will update as I end up buying more art for my lonely walls.
I also fell in love with tons of pieces from Tara and Moanas collection but as they are in Australia I can't really afford to buy anything from them. Sad Sad!! I love how they use various layers to make an incredible picture. If I could I would buy most of them and hang them in every space I have. This one is my favorite one!! How cute is that!!

Since Ive been in such a creative mood lately Ive been compiling more ideas for tattoos and putting them in a folder. Its about time I go get some work done. My arms are itching to be filled up. Maybe I should do a ink post but I always feel so silly when I take pictures of my work.
Anyways Im off to spend the day with my Thornado, maybe we will go to the park.

Hi Too Loo Ri

I meant to post this yesterday but as you can see I am slacking big time in the old blogosphere....I slack a lot all the time. Ive been a busy kid with work, finding a place to live and trying to have a social life.
Anyways yesterday its been a month since my gama died and also a month since I started as my new job. I cant really say I miss her any less but I am happy to say that at least it seems to be getting easier. Im doing alot better on thinking about the good times and not focusing on that last horrible day. I received some of her jewelry and try to wear something of hers everyday to help remember her. My grampa seems to be doing better as well, or at least he is faking it well. Im going to try to go over and maybe spend the night at his house tonight after work. I havent seen him in over a week, bad Kellers.

Also things are going really well at work, every seems to get along for the most part and I usually stay busy. There is really something special when you are giving someone a facial, they relax fully and tell you how good it makes them feel. That really makes me happy.
Im not making as much as I would like yet but I supposed that will come in time. I wish that groupon and living social would not have been invented though because that is killing out business quite a bit.

And one more thing I finally found a great place to rent about 8 minutes from work if that. Id share the house with two other women and 3 dogs but Id be afraid to bring Thor since he likes to be dominate and she already has a dominate dog. Also he likes to mark his territory sometimes and her house is too nice for that. The only thing I dont like about the house is that Id have to share a bathroom with a stranger....I havent shared a bathroom in years. I really dont have time to move for at least 2 weeks though, since my parents and maybe myself are going out of town, so she will prolly end up giving the room to someone else. Oh well you win some you lose some.
My ideal situation would be sharing a 2 bed room 2 bath with a friend but all of mine are pretty much already living where they want to or wont consistently pay the rent so Im stuck driving almost an hour to work everyday.

All in all Im feeling happy at the moment so its all good. Now Im off to work for the day!! Cheers!
