    It has been far, far too long since I last updated! Good grief. We now have a second Pug, Calliope, who is Clio's younger sister (same parents, later litter). I'm still working in the same place, still working on my RN-BSN, but I'm closer to being finished!! I'll be done June 20th, less than 6 months. Amazing!!

    Michael is now tattooing in West Virginia, at Skratchers Tattoo in Martinsburg. I'm making him a portfolio site: Pain and Sorrow Tattooing. There isn't anything there yet, but soon. :)

    I've also started running! I just finished the 6th week of the Couch-to-5K plan: check it out! Seriously, if my short-legged self can do it, anyone can.

    I really will try to update this more often! And get some pictures up, too.
