so today, I was going to the outlet mall to meet up with an old co-worker and buy a new pair of shoes.

busy again........i won't say it again as i'm sure you'll cyber slap me. 
opposites often attract and get on very well, my hubby and i are opposites and certainly got on very well before the introduction of the children.
take care and rest.

well, the tattoo is healing nicely. I will admit, it has a tendency to get itchy every so often, for a few seconds, maybe half a minute. but then it goes away! given the size of it, I'm not surprised.
so I've decided on Sunday that I'm doing some shopping for me. I'm going to the Waterloo Outlet Mall in the Geneva/Waterloo area of New...

let myself loose in a winery then somehow fell on a boat trailer i think. I am still trying to put together the pieces of the day. There was mention of a four-wheeler and Kalashnikovs.
well, sitting here, finally rested and all. "recovered" from seeing Lennon live in Buffalo on Friday. BTW, great show, if you ever get a chance to see her, do it! she's nice, down to earth, has great stage presence, and puts on a butt kicking show! its worth the money!

why I suck......?
now THAT would be quite a long little dramatic little tale of The rise and fall of my last relationship. Maybe someday i'll tell you when I need a break from my homework.

how fun! what colors are you putting into your tattoo?
well, my ears are still ringing and my back is still in pain (from the tattoo), but I just got home from seeing Lennon live in Buffalo! trust me, it was a great show and worth it!

my friend is a school counsellor and loves her job. in fact she doesn't call it her job, she calls it her life. she's helped some pretty troubled kids in the few years she's been doing it and i'm so proud of her.
i wish you all the best in your chosen field and i know you are going to be excellent at it.
i'm sure you know by now that the tattoo pain doesn't last long, it was the itchiness that lasted longer. can't wait to see pics of the beginning of it.

i've looked back and looked at the tattoo, it's great already, it's going to be awesome when it is finished. i'm not surprised you were in pain, that's alot of work. good luck with it.
take care.

well, today was day three of my internship. the beginning of the year meetings, stuff like that. very interesting to see the politics going on during the meetings and how things are addressed. one big area of weakness for me will be politics, I really hate the political game, so this is a good learning experience for me.

that tat is going to be bad ass.
I am very impressed. Getting tattooed (esp. something like that one) is always such a spiritual experience! How was it?

A keloid is like a little lump of scar tissue or somehting. Generally occurs around piercings.
love the tatt. will be awaiting more pics.

definitely get the massage before the tattoo!
or the therapist can just not massage the area around the tat, but if it is a big peice on your back that wont work at alll.
I really admire people in school that work as well. You have to have a lot of determination for that! I am having a hard enough time, and my classes are still reletively easy right now- especially compared to what you have on your plate!
I hope that you find some free time and can take a day off soon!
dont work too hard, my friend.

ooohhh, a new tat? you'll have to post some pics when you can.
anyways, thanks for all your comments. it makes me feel better. ugh! we're still training our RA's, so school hasn't even started yet. hopefully this is the stressful time and things will get easier along the way. ps, i am going to be on call for my first time in a few weeks. eeek! hahahah...
hope you had a nice labor day weekend.

well, so far, my internship has been pretty good. on day one, I was introduced to people, given a faculty/staff parking pass (whoo-hoo) and talked to regarding getting my ID picture done. to me, really a sign that I'm going to be treated as a fellow staff member, and not someone who shows up one day a week.

i agree with Sophronia, go for the full hour massage, it's awesome, leaves you feeling so relaxed.
take care.

yes, try to schedule ahead of time... at least a week... maybe more if the place you are going is busy.
As a general rule of thumb, it doesn't hurt to show up 10-15 minutes early to check in with the receptionist and fill out paperwork.
But for people like me, that opperate in a small private practice- there is no receptionist to check in with- so in that case you show up on time, and your therapist will go over the paperwork with you before your massage starts.
You can always ask on the phone when you book your appointment! Always better to arrive early than late!
don't be afraid to tell your therapist that it is your first time, and that you are nervous and don't know what to expect. they will be able to answer all of your questions so that you are able to relax easily.
tipping is good... same as dining- 15 -20%, unless the bill indicates service charge/gratuity included.

oh and,
thats a pretty heavy tattoo you are planning to get. Good luck with the emotional/mental aspect of that.
I'm sure that you will have a lot to process after going through with your plans for it... your dream is quite on par with that.

well, the past few days, I've been working outside 8 hours doing helping hands. yeah, cart pushing. the full-time person is currently on vacation. and so I was scheduled.
so today, I decided to wear my pedometer, and measure how far I walked and the number of steps I took. in an 8 hour shift, the pedometer had me with over 38,800 steps (yes, over...

hey, you know what? Res Life is tough stuff! I feel like my mind is in overload right now just seeing how everything works.
sophronia:
best for you to get a friend to refer you to someone.
most experienced therapists use a combination of MANY different techniques depending on how your body is respoding to what they are doing. I always spend about 15 minutes talking to my clients before every session so that I understand what their needs are. You don't have to request any certain style... just explain what you told me.... and leave it up to them.
Don't be afraid to give some feedback during your massage if you don't enjoy what the therapist is doing- it isn't offensive and will help you get a better service.

well, I think my financial aid stuff is taken care of. I made a phone call to the Financial Aid office, they told me they needed proof of my non-default loan status. aka, a letter saying I'm in deferment.
so, on Monday, I provide that letter. if they need more, my response was "well, I got a student loan last year, do you think that's...

I've been feeling rather disappointed in myself lately (among other things), so this morning I've been doing internet research on the 40 mile long Ko'olau ridge trail. Not that I would live to tell about it if I tried to do it now... but... someday.... I would like to. And for some reason.... just thinking about doing it someday has been enough to keep my spirits up today.
So, ANYWAYS... in my research efforts.... I turned up this article about some geocaching CRAZINESS ! ! !
and, of course, I thought that you would get a kick out of it.
*I'm editing to add...
wow... I'm really intrigued by this geocaching thingy... I' had no idea how cool it could be. How did you get into it? I had never even heard of it until I read your journal.
