i know, right, how the heck did it get to be APRIL!!!

On a happy note, I forgot to mention that DH's plane tickets and hotel etc are all reserved for him to come up to the job fair in Anchorage in two weeks. Not that I relish the thought of him leaving AGAIN (when he just got home...yeah, he's only been home 2 of the last 6 weeks...) BUT it means a job, and I want that job like you wouldn't believe. Yay for leaving Pelican.

(My daughter was 11, IIRC, and they don't do piercings, or didn't, for anyone under 18).

Anyway, it's not a tattoo, but their service was juvenile and crass, and anyone who cusses like a sailor in front of a 5yo and 3yo isn't someone I'd want putting a needle into my skin.

Welcome April
:, not welcome Ash
. I was actually happy to see a spring snowstorm blow through (southcentral AK) and cover up all the grey. But Mrs. Mt Redoubt blew again and its gray again. No biggie. I suppose it doesn't matter much, soon enough it'll be brown everywhere.... then GREEN! A big plus to all of this is a great gardening season to come!

Yeah, my son heard that on the news this morning & came running in to tell me. I'd turned off the computer last night believing it was orange and maybe going back to sleep. Oh well! Yep, I've been thinking my gardens will be happy.

Funny, we were looking at a house here in town with 1.5 acres and 6 BR. But, this morning rather than drive over for an in-depth look, we bailed b/c of the long drive...guess that tells us we shouldn't move that far over.
Only 15 mins by bike but 25 mins by car--that crazy parkland!

Gorgeous day here. Hope everyone is enjoying. We're doing taxes...

I understand. I already told crystal my story but really there are only two options in town. the GK people are mean and rude and nasty but not high unlike my experience at BPU... so....

that sucks! You know I never actually went into GK but my Husband did many times and he never got a tattoo. I think h is reasons were probably the same as yours. He WONT get a tat in a place sends out vibes like that.

Why not save your money and come down to Anchorage? LOL

I found a great shop here, brand new! called the Inked Monkey. They are awesome! Really.

If I wait until I come down to Anchorage, I'd go back to Dragon Ray's. They did my last piece, which while I have reservations about how much I like the custom design after all these years, they did amazing work -- the colors are still as vibrant now 8 yrs later as they were when I got it, and they were awesome guys in general.
