ugh. I'm tired. I haven't read in like 3 days.
Its freezing today. The price of oil is going up again... so I can't wait to spend a couple thousand bucks on heat. Fucking economy and oil. I'm going to buy a couple of electric heaters and keep the heat low this winter. Just move the electric wherever I am ha. I guess that's what I get for living in new england.

My shop is doing a benefit for a dog that fell out of a car and needs surgery. you can read about that on our website www.tatjunkies.com in the news section.

or you can donate money here... every dollar helps!!! Thanks guys

HELP THIS DOG

So....
Work has been very busy. It can be very overwhelming. My house is a mess because I;

• Wake up at 7:30


• Feed the pets


• take a shower
• get ready and dressed


• Walk the dog


• Or bring him to doggy day care


• stop at the health food store for a vegan scone


• Go to work at 11


• Do my email and phone calls


• Tattoo


• close the shop at 7


• stay late to draw or scan and email images to clients


• go home at 8-8:30


• cook dinner and relax from 9-10:30 or 11 (dinner takes like 45 min)


• get ready for bed and go to bed at 11- 11:30ish

So I think I'm kinda stuck in a cycle of work eat sleep. Granted I like my job.. I think I just need to figure out a way to have some clean the house and personal time.. hmmmm
I need to shower now.


James and my 1 year anniversary. Whooo hooo.

my doggy and I snuggling up

My newest tattoos.. teafeet by Ryan Mason
After a few hours (or 20 minutes)... FEET FUCKING KILL

So I read breaking dawn, by stephanie meyer in like 2 days. I'm such a nerd. But it was awesome.
Anyone whos read her previous books will love this one. She's jsut so good at writing books that make you so happy, so mad and so completely frustrated.

These are photos, and living proof that I can not be trusted in front of a photographer. I knew this guy was there. I was all thinking I was looking way better than this. embossllc@yahoo.com you can email the photographer to buy prints of these terrible photos if you want. haha.
Seriously, I look like I'm going to eat Jeb's face off... except for the one where I look like I'm pooping my pants haha.








But yeah. This was the last tattoo I did, after working for 40 hours in 3 days. So you can't blame me for bags under my eyes or eating faces off.
This tattoo is on Jeb, who is a pretty awesome guy. He makes a lot of clothes and handbags. We were doing a diamond under his chin.

Ok, ok.. I know I haven't posted any blogs here in a while.

• My internet wasn't workign and I just had it fixed today.
• I was away in waterville valley for a family event for most of last week
• I have 25 drawings to do for people who are waiting.. many, not patiently.
• This weekend is the manchester tattoo convention.
• The hours in total for 3 days at the expo are 27 hours. Yeah. in 3 days. pissed.
• One of those 8 hour tattoo days is normally my day off.

So.. I've been really busy.
I've also been doing a lot of tattoos.. and trying to draw some too. I think the hardest part is actually tryign to sit down and be creative while I have a constant flow of people wanted to talk to me about tattoos so that I have to stop 40 times.
Our shop got shirts..



The models are all awesome clients. Super people. The second photo is erica, who's totally hot, and has an attitude, Which i like. She has a giesha tattoo that I did.

Here are a couple of photos of tattoos I've done recently, since I've gotten a few messages askign why I haven't put any up. You know, you can always look at my website www.tatjunkies.com if you want to see this stuff.. or stalk me. haha



skeleton guy's arm is so buff, this tattoo is big.. but it looks small and kinda lumpy on his big ass arm.

This is on my best friend's man.

This is the sister tattoo the last one. Same theme, different illustrations.

And lastly.....

My beautiful cat won a contest to be on the NH state lottery "Cat Scratch Fever" 1$ scratch ticket. hahahaha
She was one of 8 winners out of over 800. I told you she was regal.


and that's me with messy hair.
Bam. Updated.

James and I got a dog. His name is comet and he came from an animal rescue organization.
Paws New England They were really awesome. And my dog is the cutest little beast ever.

oh man.
I'm sick. Sick sicksicksick sick. I want to sleep. I cough and cough. No sleep for me. I have taken many types of medicines. They make me high and instead of sleeping I cough and cough and stare at my curtains. There is a man living in my curtain and he has a curly mustache. he's got a mushroom top for his head and his mouth is gaping open in a really cruel laugh. Plus his eyes are buggin' out. He thinks it's very funny when I am on robitussin and can't sleep.

Also we are moving on sunday. I hate moving. I hate not sleeping more. This is day 8 of being sick and not sleeping. I think I've slept 10 hours combined the whole time.

The I pod formerly known as "Poopy" has died this week. He was a fine Ipod and a gentleman. He came to New Hampshire late in 2004 to take a job as my music device, shortly after my last music device expired. His interests included; eating songs, skipping songs, and freezing unexpectedly. He was survived by two loving, avid music fans and a cat. Toward the end, he was in constant need of being reset. While his death is truly a tragedy, it was his god given time to leave us. We can all be at ease knowing that "Poopy" is finally at rest, in peace everlasting.

i just finished watching gossip girl. intense.
I think this show appeals to me because everyone is very sneaky and uses very sneaky ways to ruin each other's lives. I 've always been interested in sabotage. That's why, when i was little, I would invent ways to torture my siblings.

• Brother. 3 years younger than I. I would take ninja turtle underwear from our younger brother and fill his bookbag. I would wrap them around each book and hide them in the trapper keeper pockets so that when he got to school, he would accidentally show off kid underwear.


• Brother 3 years younger than I. I filled his underwear with peanut butter and hid them in his drawer. My intention was for my mom to find them and think he pooped so that she would punish him. Instead he put them on and yanked them up hard. Pb all over his private parts. He went running out of his room with underpants around his ankles yelling all mad. My friends and I were standing there so they all saw.


• My sister 5 years younger than I. I would pin embarrassing things places so that they would be stuck on her and people would see and laugh. I rolled up training bras and pinned them inside her coat sleeves so that when she put on her jacket at recess, they popped out and rolled out. She was on the playground waving her arms around trying to get the bras off. haha


• my sister 7 years younger. by this time i was odler and more mature, right? So I only convinced her that she was a princess. I told her she was goign to be very very rich and have everything she wanted.. but she'd never see us again. I packed her a bag for when the king would come to get her. She cried and begged mom not to let hte king take her. haha


• brother 9 years younger. He was a bit too young for torture. Plus he was a madman.

ok ok.. so i was a jerk. But that shit is funny. Besides, I always stood up for them if anyone else picked on them. Plus they did the same stuff to me. Anyone here do anything sneaky as a kid? or now?

i'm going to see iron man. Meg cabot posted in her diary/blog that she's going to see it because patrick Downey jr. used to be a drug addict but is now straight. but you can still see the crazy in his eyes. I'm going to be looking very closely for this alleged crazy. I'll report back with my findings.
maybe she was mistaken about the eyes and she meant hair. Because it's crazy to think that blond hair matched grey facial hair.
