hola...

hey there. i really miss being able to post more often. But with school & work, it is just so hard to find time to write...

Things are going good. We are all falling into our schedules. Logan is adjusting wonderfully to day care. he goes about 3 days a week for 3-4 hours. He eats his whole lunch there, tries the potty, and even takes a nap. He didnt at first, but I guess after seeing the other kids do it all, he decided to give it a shot. Plus he seems to really like the ladies working there.

School is going good so far, i am on top of all my work so far and my teachers are pretty likeable. It is always harder when the teacher is someone with a personality you dont care for. I always have at least one teacher who is kind of different. Last semester i had a laid back-psychologist type and this semester, my art of cinema teacher is a hippie-ish film guy from San Francisco who graduated from UCLA way back when. He's a trip!

My tattoo is healing pretty good, i really am happy i got it, and Saur- actually this particular tattoo didnt hurt much. I wont lie, tattoos do hurt. But it really depends on where you get it, and how big it is. they dont hurt so much you cant take it. Some people say their hips hurt the most, but the i have on my hips actually hurt the least. My foot hurt the most. The stars nearest my "girly" area hurt, but the rest of them didnt hurt too much. And the whole thing only took about 45 minutes. So, really, by the time i was getting uncomfortable, it was over. I love my tattoos (i have 4 now, not counting the one that is covered by another one). they are addictive too. Now, i dont do peircings tho. i was scared to get my ears pierced, (altho i have 3 holes in each ear) and thought that hurt alot, so i wont get anything else. gives me the heebie jeebies thinking about it.

Anyway, i have to get dinner going for the kiddo and me, so nite nite!!

the first week is over...

...finally.

It was a long week. I have a very full schedule. I know i have mentioned this before, but a year ago when i used to bitch that i was "soo tired" and "soo busy", i had no idea what the true meanings of those phrases really were. But i am pretty sure i have a good understanding of them now. ;) I also get so to see logan so much less than i am used to. And i thought i saw too little of him last semester. This semester will be worse. And i already have a decent amount of homework to get started on. Crazy. All my teachers seem nice and overall pretty decent, and a little demanding as far as work goes. Which sucks only because i really have to stay on top of things, but is overall a good thing b/c that makes sure i really know it and stay on top of the subject matter.

Today i went to a tattoo convention. The "Marked For Life - Female Tattoo Artist Expo". I went with my sister Anna (Kathleen was a super sister and babysit all day for me), and two girls we work with. It was pretty cool. And kind of humorous- i had the choice of any tattoo artist, from all over, and i chose the one from my town. When i scheduled my appointment, i didnt realize she was from here, so it was kind of funny. At least if i need any touch ups, she is local, so thats good. I got some pretty starts on my hip. (the other hip has a small fairy on it. I suppose i should take some pictures of all my tattoos..i only have pics of the last 2) Anyway, in case anyone is interested, here is my new tat:

it actually goes a little bit lower,
but i ain't showing all that on the internet, sorry. ;)

and another view, just cuz.

Its a simple design. And its my first non-fairy tattoo. ;) Joe thinks it's sexy, so that's good. ;) You can tell me what you think too, if you like. hint hint

Well, anyway. I should go off and do some homework, but i really dont think i want to (or will). i will do that tomorrow while logan is at his dad's. I think tonight i will take over the tv and watch my shows i have recorded, or if my dad wont give up the tv, i will just go finish the book i am reading. (i am reading The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle. Joe recommended that i read The Ringworld series by Niven and since i liked them, he gave me this book to try out. Its actually pretty good. if you are into some sci-fi fantasy style. Besides, i really dont think i will have much longer where i have time to read for fun!) So anywho- good nite!
