Two Dozen Doozies

I am joining Sarah Von in her endeavor to do 30 new things before she turns 30. I have 24 weeks until my 24th birthday, so that just worked out way too well to not take part.

Drumroll please:
  1. Find an organization to volunteer and become actively involved with.
  2. Hostess a breakfast/brunch, with Saturday morning cartoons.
  3. Take voice/singing lessons.
  4. Take a stripping/pole dancing class.
  5. Hostess a RockBand party.
  6. Learn to make pasties!
  7. Get an addition to my tattoo.
  8. Take a bellydancing class
  9. Go on a date.
  10. Go country dancing
  11. Do Karaoke. And rock at it.
  12. Spend a day thrift shopping
  13. Have my tarot cards and palms read. This may not be a first - I had a tarot reading done at the ren faire, but the reader was adamant that I would have a proposal for marriage before March, which I adamantly protested - so I am demanding a second opinion.
  14. Spend a day book shopping.
  15. Take a vacation. Preferably to somewhere I've never been.
  16. Make a wedding cake! (Not my own) Also not a first, but I haven't done this in 3 years and I've been commissioned for one in September!
  17. Make Kim's candied bacon ice cream.
  18. Play a game through on Xbox. The only thing I've ever finished was Portal.
  19. Take an improv class
  20. Redecorate my apartment
  21. Gussy up this blog!
  22. Have a photoshoot in which I am NOT behind the camera. Possibly pin-up style?
  23. Go blues dancing
  24. Compile my photography portfolio

Introductions

I’ll be spending the next few weeks culling through old posts, removing some that were contrived, forced, posted for the sake of posting something. In the meantime, I think it’s important to make some introductions. Six years and all. Meet Frankie and Sasha. These girls currently live with me part-time, as a matter of custody arrangements (more on that later), and I get the joy of spending every other week spoiling them with hikes, swims, and way too many baby carrots. My sweet, loyal, neurotic, too-smart Carmen passed away in November 2013 at 5½ years old due to kidney disease, which she had battled most of her too-short life. Just three weeks later, I came across a scraggly, injured, smelly black puppy aimlessly wandering the mean streets of Beaumont, TX. She was worse for the wear and looked like spare parts, but she was the epitome of friendly. We wrapped her in a towel and she promptly fell asleep in my arms. I dubbed her Frankenstein’s dog, which was shortened to Franki

There's No Place

In the month or two that I've been so carelessly absent here, my living situation has been decidedly... undecided. The roommate with whom I signed a 14-month lease expressed interest in moving out back in May (lease ends October 19) and followed through on her whim to bail in June, leaving me with our ideal 2/2 apartment and double rent. Coincidentally, a friend fresh out of A&M thought he might take the spare room but has yet to find a job, so that fell through. I had plans of subletting a friend's apartment when he leaves for school in September and thought I would just tough out the double rent until then. That plan went ka-put as well, and probably for the better. I made the solid decision last week to re-sign the lease on my own. Yes, that is just how much I love this apartment, the location, the people... Vaulted ceilings, spacious layout, washer/dryer connections, colorful accent walls painted by yours truly, all this tucked away in Austin's Greenbelt with a bea
