My tragus had it's ups and downs. It would be good for a while, and then it would get a small keloid and flare up. I was super good about putting tea tree oil on it twice a day and now it's just about a year old and it's great. I got my rook and snug done at the same time. The rook gave me trouble after the first week and for the past three weeks it has improved tremendously. Now, my snug is giving me crap very similar to what the tragus did. Just a small keloid and some crusting. Tea tree oil and regular cleaning is all I can do. I'd get more piercings in a heartbeat, but DH isn't very fond of them, so right now, three exotics will hold me over.

What kind of cream do you use? I've had good luck with the tea tree oil, but it takes FOREVER to work.

I have my Tragus and conch on my right ear and 2 helix on my left plus both lobes (then nose and belly button too).

I use hydrocortisone cream, you can get it OTC at the drugstore. Both my piercers highly recommend it for keloids.

My close friends (chosen family) own a tattoo/piercing shop so I'm always thinking of new stuff to get done lol.

I will have to get some of that to try. Thanks. I've got my navel done as well.

That would be so terrible! I would be in there every day. I want my nose and lip done. I want my conch done. I won't even start on tattoos I want. Lol.

It is, it's my least favorite but I liked it better the second time I read it. I may read them again before catching fire comes out.

Not a fan of third book and its ending. Then again, I didn't like Peeta


My interview apparently went good today because I got a second interview set up for tomorrow! It's basically shadowing a trainer to see how I would fit in. I also think it's paid? 1-8 tomorrow and then I guess we'll see if they like me! Yay!

Thanks, Adrianne!

Keith bought me a new kindle fire hd 8.9". I am loving it. I have been downloading books to read like crazy. So exciting, I forgot how much I love read. The best part, it can read them for me.

It was farrier night at the barn where we do agility.



Which means free chewies for the Izzie!

I just made a smoothie. Started out with yogurt, almond milk, and strawberries. But it was sorta tasteless. So I added and honey. Oops. Made too much.

My thought process was:
"Crap. What a waste." *licks spoon*
"Mmm. Waste indeed. But freezing never works. Urgg. This is actually a little too sweet. Too much honey. Nothing salty. Bitter?"
*adds spinich* "Better. Still too sweet."

*looks in fridge*

"Vanilla Vodka it is."
"......OMG THIS IS AMAZING. And, hey, this isn't going to freeze solid. Wonder if it'll separate?"

*comes back 45 minutes later to the perfect sorbet/ice cream/slushy thing*

Winning.

I made a kickass smoothie that doesn't freeze solid and doesn't separate. My day just became productive.
