I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!! After five sessions, TONS of aftercare and a whole lot of conviction, my Arizona back piece is FINISHED! I ame into the shop with an image of the AZ state flag and a short description... "I want a blue base, and the 13 sun rays, but instead of the star I want a Phoenix.

So I've reached a point of frustration that I just can't seem to get past on my own. Since moving here four years ago I have put on about 30 pounds (145 to 175) and I'll be DAMNED if I'm taking it back to Arizona with me! I have been exercizing regularly and I am trying to restrict my calorie intake to 1200/day. I was...

So my previous excitement over the move back out west is dulled a little today. I sat down and started trying to plan the move timeline... you know working backwards from my absolute must-be-settled-in date to signing on a house, to picking a house, to packing up out here and heading to the temporary place there, to making school and business arrangements, to telling the...
