This is the best birthday I've had in years, and it's barely 10am!
I woke up, in MY OWN house, my beautifully and newly renovated and redecorated house, beside a man who has only grown more handsome over the last decade, and got to let my dogs out into the whimsical snowy rural wonderland... look out at MY OWN red barn sitting nestled amongst white powder, the fields rolling on for miles and I feel thankful in a way that I have never known before.
Thankful to be coming into my 25th year sober and clean. Thankful that despite my best efforts, I am PRESENT for my 25th year. Thankful to be near my parents, my true family. Thankful to be at a point where I can start a family of my own. Thankful to be living in a community so kind; my neighbors would do anything for me at any hour of the day. Thankful to be in Canada. Thankful to be working with people I respect and earning an income doing something I enjoy. Thankful to be healthy and fit. Thankful to be living in a place where every season looks like a postcard. Thankful for my close friends; while few, are quality. Thankful to have rekindled my relationship with God. Thankful for all the pain and all the heartache that has brought me to this most miraculous point.
Absolute gratitude.

1. Someone lovely made me the loveliest meal I've ever been made last night(aside from my mother of course). Trout, shrimp, veggies and a salad that made me curl my toes with glee. I've been curling my toes a lot lately. It's nice.
2. I burned myself recently cooking dinner for my parents. Threw some onions into the pan and got a nice oily splash on my wrist. Pout.
3. Thank you to everyone who bought me something off of my wishlist, and bought Limone & Puppercini food off of my wishlist. Much appreciated and very kind.
4. Edit: It was brought to my attention that I forgot FOUR! Such a travesty. #4 is now: "Ikea" is Swedish for "I should have paid the extra $1000 to buy this unit pre-assembled and without unsightly pegholes from the proper furniture store down the street."
5. This is a very food filled entry, so I think now is the time for me to show you what my usual dinner looks like. I really enjoy fish. And almonds.
6. I recently watched ROBOTS. (And Secretary, and Devil's Rejects, and Office Space....and tonight Walk the Line if the highway doesn't close). I loved it. I really do like Robots. Girls like robots, right mikey_dough? It's true. They do!
7. Speaking of mikey_dough, check out his pics of me in the new Skin & Ink!
8. Here is the very first picture I took with my new Rebel:
9. And now the second:
10. I'm also in Tattoo & Piercing Magazine this month. My mother couldn't be happier. All pictures thanks to tmronin, AKA Steve Prue, AKA the Man with the Master Plan.
11. It's snow season here. Living down a country side road is MUCH different than living in town. Holy crackers. It's an ice rink with zero visibility. This was just the beginning:
12. A picture LITHIUM_PICNIC took of me and Puppercini while I was in Texas a while back with Amina. The "Paris" pics mentioned in my video.
13. Finally, VonScotch's website should be up almost any minute. Wait for it... wait for it.........
IT'S UP, GO LOOK!! SUGARSHACKTATTOO.COM!!!
14. It's my birthday in a matter of a few days!!!
15. If you're looking for Christmas presents for your friends and relatives, don't forget to check out the growing Twwly Shop!

1. You guys were so great with the recipes. I'll be happily engulfed in soups and stews all winter. And it's all thanks to YOU.
2. I emailed a friend today, saying that I couldn't attend a 'do he'll be having in the city as I'm overworked, can't leave the dogs, and don't like driving in the snow. Here was his response, which I thought was hilarious. Although maybe you have to know him to hear him saying this in your head so that it's funny to you? Not sure. Anyway, here it is:
ps-
cut off more of your ears so that work doesn't go up to them, fill the dog bowls up to the brim and tell them that if they act responsible this time, you might consider giving them more liberty in the future, and there is no snow yet, and even if there is, just drive in between the snowflakes.
3. Although there IS snow here now. It dumped. Power has been off 2x in town, for a total of near 24 hours I would estimate... and we've barely even begun snow season! You'd think living next to a nuclear power plant that we'd have constant power. Nopers. Can you put generators on your wishlist, I wonder?
4. Speaking of which, if you would like to buy Limone and Puppercini doggie Xmas gifts, their Duck & Potato Dog Food can be sent to them through HERE!
5. Got my new winter vehicle today. Not the pickup as I had hoped (turned out it had more problems and wouldn't be ready in time), but a 98 Explorer. I totalled the 96 Explorer I had. I'm most comfortable behind the wheel of 'em, so it'll do. (It'll deeew pig, it'll deeeewwwww). Eventually I'll get my jacked up pickup with rollbar, mounted lights and stacks. One day, one day.
6. SG Brighton went up today! Go comment on her set immediatley! Here is a picture of me getting to spray her taut tush with PAM. A+.
7. I bought paint for my house. But it's been two weeks and I haven't had time to paint. It's just been sitting there. So... the painter comes tomorrow. He'll be doing the office, the kitchen, the living room and the bathroom.
8. Check out the new Skin & Ink! Tattoos from VonScotch & ymonster!
9. I have to personally recommend the new girls thermal & off the shoulder shirts. Mine came in the mail today and they are rockin.
10. Another shot by the wonderful tmronin from his trip up here.
11. Picture of Miss Alexis and I. This girl needs to take a Canadian vacation, don't you agree? I miss her. Her wit and candor; her big brown eyes; her perfect ass.
Twwly DearSantaTidbit:
For my upcoming Birthday/Christmas/Hannukah/Yule I want a G5. A tree that grows dog food. A generator. I want a new book every week. I want a MAC cosmetic counter in my living room. I want Coco as my live in hair stylist. I want someone to figure out a way for me to work out in my sleep. Or put more hours in my day. But most of all, I want more sleepovers.
Come sit on my lap and tell me what you want for Christmas/Yule/Hannukah/Holiday of your choice. (And don't forget to bring the cookies!)

1. tmronin flew from NYC to TwwlyCountry for a weekend of absolute shooting mania. Talk about a change of pace, eh. Words cannot express the hilarity and hotness that ensued. I have to say again that Steve is one of the most professional and personable people I know. As a friend, employer and photographer, I am absolutely blessed to be working with someone of his caliber.
2. VonScotch and Dyme also got the Steve Prue Experience, both in front of and around his lense. The bulk of the pictures are being tweaked, caressed and fondled before they will be released onto y'all like a thrashing baracuda. Brace yourselves.
3. One picture I can share with you is one of my favourites. There will be more to come of these, and likely prints made available in the coming months. Twwly: wearing nothing but PAM and stiletto cowboy boots. I gave little Trigger the ride of his life, let me tell you. That shot is only the beginning.
4. Much credit to LITHIUM_PICNIC for the cover shot of Skin & Ink. (Just hitting the stands). Inside pictures by mikey_dough and appearing thanks to Ye Ol' SG!
5. I get tattooed by:
* Tim Kern (SG member ymonster) at Last Rites in NYC.
* Scott Duncan (SG member VonScotch) at Sugar Shack (website up shortly, I'm working on it!) in Kincardine, Ontario. He did all of that lovely traditional work on my arms, so well displayed on the Skin & Ink cover.
* Jay Decator (SG member dekator) at Passage in Toronto, Ontario.
* Shane Munce at Norristown Tattoo in Norristown, PA.
* Craig Driscoll (SG member fivetwo) at no fixed address.
* Rob Coutts at BobbyFive in Toronto, Ontario.
6. My upcoming tattoo projects include: a massive back, butt and thigh piece (the remainder of my major real estate), all rabbit and tree-y by VonScotch, and more Geek Love shenanigans on my right leg from my dear ymonster. Fill 'er up.
7. I need an assistant. Must reply to client emails, couppage Limone, tidy, and most importantly, keep my coffee warm. There are not enough hours in my day.
8. Like Quinne, I recently purchased a Rebel. So recently, it's not even out of the box yet! I haven't really used a camera since...well, since I started really getting into SG. I actually have an arts degree (PhotoPrintmaking, hellloooo) and worked as a tech for the University (aka: keeping the freshmen from drowning in the Fix). I'll be setting up a darkroom here in TwwlyCountry (not that I shoot much film anymore) as well as a silkscreen station, painting nook, and eventually intaglio acid baths and press. The TwwlyStudio project will be off and running in the spring. GoGo Gadget ARTS.
9. My 10+ hour a day Photoshopping routine has been wreaking havoc on my right wrist. 90% of my computer work is just little clicks with the mouse. I need a Wacom Tablet really, really, really badly. If you would like to save me from certain surgery, feel free.
10. I should be getting my new truck this week, just in time for the arrival of the snow.
11. You guys were SO good with the last bunch of recipes shared, that I just have to ask again. I'm looking for recipes for warm winter food. Lentil stews, soups, belly warming dishes. Got a recipe for something that leaves you feeling warm from mouth to toes? Please pass 'er on.
Twwly Tidbit: Found a little kitten skull in a barrell in my hay mow. Just a perfectly cleaned, intact little skull. I wonder... how did it get there? Where is the rest of it? Why just the head? Sure is cute though. It's now in my kitchen, beside Mr.Peterson's urn.

1. Friday: I got up early and went to work at the gallery. Wore my new brown suit jacket with the thin caramel stripes and my new stiletto cowboy boots. Threw ideas around for next falls show; solidified Easter's show. Mailed out the first batch of Puppy Prints. Got a set done, and worked on a client's website. Good discussion meeting that night, too. High heels keep me on my toes.
2.Saturday: Had an early morning coffee tawk with a girlfriend. Listened to the Allman Brothers for most of the day while I worked. Tinted my hair darker for the winter. Had a nice dinner with family and friends. Made out in a thunderstorm.
3.Sunday: Had a divine wake up. Morning windstorm knocked out power to the well here. No water means no heat for me. By the evening someone had hooked the well up to a generator (tractor) and we're back in business. The windstorm also knocked off a bunch of my new shingles. And I think I bought a truck yesterday. Grey Toyota 4x4 with rollbar & lights, extended cab. Now I just have to learn to drive stick. Ate a delicious curry supper, saw Jarhead. Got home late and worked.
4. Today: The roofers and the carpenter are here. Coffee, coffee, coffee. Work out. Work. More coffee. More work. Dinner date with my dad. Favourite meeting. More coffee. More work.
5. The man with the master plan, (tmronin, of course) will be here this weekend.
6. Amina, James and I in Tattoo!
7. First date night:
8. My new hair:
9. Want to keep me warm this winter? I have some new wishes.
10. If you have contacted me about a Puppy Print, and I have sent you ordering information, but you have not yet paid, PLEASE let me know if you still intend on purchasing. As it is a LIMITED EDITION run, and there are only 25, I cannot offer up prints that have already been 'spoken for'.
Twwly Tidbit: Faith instead of despair.
PS. Is Charlie not sex on legs? Go comment on her new set. Holy JUMPIN.
PPS. Please welcome one of my favourite tattooers on the planet, VonScotch. He is the man in charge of the massive back/butt/thigh adventure I've been telling you all about!

1. Recent media fun! There are two covers coming out this fall, so keep yer eyes out, eh.
2. Friday my parents flew back in from Hawaii. And there was a fantastic open speaker meeting, with 24 year and 10 year birthdays. Lots of family out and the speaker was intense.
3. Saturday I made spiced red lentil puree for a Sunday's Ethopian dinner. My house still smells like tumeric. Delish! Then I went and sat in my friends sweat lodge; drank the cedar tea, nibbled the mint, and felt 'the demons leave'. My father is going to help me build one here in the spring; a permanent unit that can be used year round. I'm very excited. After sweating out all the toxins, I got 'hoored up, eh', put on my best 7"+ heels and my smallest french maid outfit and went out to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I did the Time Warp and then went home to drink more water and sniff my cedary skin.
4. Sunday The family coven had it's annual Samhain ritual. I brought Mr.Peterson in his urn. It was a small gathering, but very moving. Tears all around, lots of energy moved and shifted. And lots of great food eaten. Incredible company. And I came home with a nice chunk of a turkey vultures wing, which I'm quite pleased about and have to find a nice place to display it. I'm moving my interests from large taxidermy to salvaged road kill. God knows there's plenty out here.
5. Today I spent the late morning at a friends lovely organic farm, making echinacea tinctures and calendula hand salve. My skin has been drying out something fierce. Despite the humidifier, the lotions, the almond oil. Time to take matters into my own hands. Literally. Later I'll be having a lovely lamb dinner with my parents and a dear friend. Handing out candy to the 200+ kids that come by their house. Then I'll be heading off to my favorite meeting (full of men as old as this county). And then back to a friends house to watch 'The Pillow Book'. And then back home to have a sleep over.
6. I was doing 100 crunches a day, and now I'm up to 300. I'm starving all the time now though. Constantly hungry. When my next pay cheque comes in, I'll be headed over to the local health food store for some protein supplements and hemp oil and greens.
7. With few exceptions, for the last month I've been eating a raw diet. Now that winter is looming, I forsee a fair amount of lentil soups and veggie stews on the horizon, but it's been an interesting (and unplanned) adventure in cuisine.
8. 25 people have voiced interest in the prints, but I am sure that some won't pan out. I have a little "waiting list" on the go. If you would like to support my regularly expensive, but perpetually heart warming little beastie, please email me for details.
And a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has voiced interest, and ordered their print. Honestly, I couldn't do it without you.

Twwly Tidbit: Hope instead of desperation.
1. Firstly and most importantly:
2. If you are not familiar with Limone's story and would like to the full version, please email me and I will copy and paste it in my reply. Limone has had a remarkable number of surgeries and veterinary attention while in the home of her Mommy #2, Batty. I have adopted the lovely Li'Momers, who requires regular antibiotics as well as radiographs and lengthy vet visits to insure that all of Batty's hard work and efforts towards saving her do not go to waste.
3. Ymonster has been up for the last 5 days here in Canadaland. We've been hanging out, seeing the sights, tattoodling, playin' with the pups. He kindly took the photograph that I am selling the run of prints of, so if you like it, be sure to tell him.
4. Tim finished my pubic tattoo coverup! My sits leading up to this last one have been nightmarishly painful and torturous, but this last one was great. Well, as great as getting one's crotch ground with needles can be. Really nice environment, chill music, nice company, all was well. We sailed through that last sit and it's finally over. If you want to see it, you'll just have to wait until I shoot a set that includes it. A+!
5. And yes, we are both wearing skeleton shirts. Hallowe'en is coming, ya hosers!
6. Things in TwwlyVille have been puttering along splendidly. My little farm house has been getting some much needed renovations and despite the leaves changing "Danger, alert: Snow is on the Way" red, my spirits are high.
7. Twwly.Com has an all new HIRE section up! It's sassy, it's fabulous, and Malloreigh made it go live on the wonderful World Wide Web for me. So there.
8. I am reallyreallyreally behind on my work.
9. The new Craig Clevenger book, Dermaphoria, is EXCELLENT. I highly recommend it.
10. Worked my second shift at my new job tonight. Clients are booked every FIVE MINUTES. That's a big change from a custom tattoo shop, where you might see 1-3 clients a day; and from the financial planning office where there was a client every hour or two. But every FIVE MINUTES is nuts, let me tell you. So I was extremely pleased with myself that my books balanced at the end of the night, and the whole office didn't go up in smoke. And my bosses seemed pleased too. Awesome.
Twwly Tidbit: From a young age, I've had insomnia. I credit my reading addiction to that insomnia. So at least something good came of it. Eh?
2. If you are not familiar with Limone's story and would like to the full version, please email me and I will copy and paste it in my reply. Limone has had a remarkable number of surgeries and veterinary attention while in the home of her Mommy #2, Batty. I have adopted the lovely Li'Momers, who requires regular antibiotics as well as radiographs and lengthy vet visits to insure that all of Batty's hard work and efforts towards saving her do not go to waste.
3. Ymonster has been up for the last 5 days here in Canadaland. We've been hanging out, seeing the sights, tattoodling, playin' with the pups. He kindly took the photograph that I am selling the run of prints of, so if you like it, be sure to tell him.
4. Tim finished my pubic tattoo coverup! My sits leading up to this last one have been nightmarishly painful and torturous, but this last one was great. Well, as great as getting one's crotch ground with needles can be. Really nice environment, chill music, nice company, all was well. We sailed through that last sit and it's finally over. If you want to see it, you'll just have to wait until I shoot a set that includes it. A+!
5. And yes, we are both wearing skeleton shirts. Hallowe'en is coming, ya hosers!
6. Things in TwwlyVille have been puttering along splendidly. My little farm house has been getting some much needed renovations and despite the leaves changing "Danger, alert: Snow is on the Way" red, my spirits are high.
7. Twwly.Com has an all new HIRE section up! It's sassy, it's fabulous, and Malloreigh made it go live on the wonderful World Wide Web for me. So there.
8. I am reallyreallyreally behind on my work.

1. Ymonster is currently playing fetch with Limone!
2. I'll be getting tattooed sooner than later. SO. GOOD!
3. I'll be drinking hot chocolate in a matter of minutes.
4. Limone had a really excellent (and $) vet appointment. I'm totally confident that her new vet has her best interests in mind. She actually sat down and read Momo's honking file and is doing research. Her rads came back looking as good as they can look for Limone, and yeah. I'm actually feeling really good about the whole scenario.
5. "Sadder than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs" is my new favourite phrase.
6. Had my first night at my new job and their outdated system makes a lot more work than necessary, but I think I can work it out. God knows I need the paycheque for Li'Momers.
Twwly Teeshirt Ideas:
"Mommy does porn to pay the Vet bill"
"Will strip for Dog Drugs"
7. Tim also brought me the new Craig Clevenger book, which I am extremely excited about. I re-read the Contortionist's handbook to be full prepared. *Straps on nerd glasses*
8. Three magazines with Twwly will be out this fall. Keep your eyes out.

1. I got some wicked PJs from Aspen. So comfortable and cute!
2. Left a job today. One that I've worked very hard on, one that I have put a great deal of my time and energy into. I'm taking off my TeamRockstarImages letterman jacket. I am still for hire as an individual for design and retouching services, and will have my own business website up sometime in the next few months.
3. Got a new job today as well. When something leaves, another something falls in to take it's place. Funny how that works. Anyway, I start Thursday and I'm super excited. It's been a long time since I had a job interview, and apparently I did well!
4. Loose lips sink ships, and we're pretty much at the bottom of the ocean right now. Good going.
5. Had a great interview today. Some of you will know what I'm talking about: the interviewer screamed "HELL YEAH" into the phone at every answer. You know, I didn't believe you Synnove, but you were right!
6. Cleaned the car today, that felt good. And in other automotive news, go figure, right around the corner from my house in the middle of nowhere is a guy who builds MONSTER TRUCKS. Yup, you heard me. MONSTER TRUCKS. And guess who is in the market for a truck for the winter? Oh, it's me.
7. I've finally been able to make plans with a long lost friend. I wasn't sure if she had fallen of the face of the earth. But low and behold, she still exists, has a pulse, and apparently a phone. Awesome.
8. I had a really nice couple of days with the lovely Dyme.
Twwly Tidbit: I'm about to put on those aforementioned PJs and crawl into bed with a book. A+!
