well... the day is winding down, and i'm at work...and it is PAIN-fully slow..... not much has gone on... i tatty'd my brother in law's leg today, finishing up a kanji i had started a while ago...ahhhh, i wish i had more time to learn. right now because i'm a full time mommy, i only get about one whole day a week to work at the shop and learn, and it is sooooo slow going..i always think how much further along i would be if i had every day to be here...but i guess it's not that bad...i looove my daughter so much, even when i am here for a full day, i miss her REALLY badly, and all i can think about most of the time is her...... ha ha...what a prediciment i guess i'll justhave to start tattooing oranges..or pigskin (GEH) for practice... it's hard to balance a baby and a life....but that's what i signed on for i guess... hmm not much else is going on.... i have a shit-load of tracing to do before next sunday... and, well i'd betterget on it.....

The girl that pokes holes in me and orders me pretty jewellery's name is Alli. She co-owns a little tattoo/piercing shop called Spin Drift here in Canmore. The tattoo artists name is Steve, but thats irrelevant.
The shop is so cute. It's all small and painted bright blue and has pretty Ikea lights all over. There's the desk, the tattoo chair, and the piercing room which is separated. Inbetween the tatty chair and the desk, in this little secluded corner, is this big fluffy blanket SURROUNDED with toys and tupperware filled with snacks and juice cups... because Alli has a little girl named Dali, and she was practically born in the store (not really, but brought there shortly afterwards) and has been raised there ever since. Alli does her piercings and Steve watches her when she's doing her work, and vice versa. Since Dali was born I've seen her grow up in this atypical atmosphere, and she is the cutest child I have ever seen. Alli gives her all her attention, and gets to see her 24/7 when she's at work. I always think to myself... that kid is going to have THE COOLEST STORIES when she is older and reminiscing on her childhood.
Anyway, just wanted to share.
