Under scope of practice: CNA
Ari now can handle a pistol sized BB gun and it is her sworn duty as a CNA of Loretta’s household to protect 8 poodles from an eagle that could viciously swoop down and eat them.
This includes: Shooting at random in the sky at the eagle as it swoops around with it’s mighty talons, not shooting the lady, not shooting the poodles.
This..this made me laugh.
“But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it’s better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you’re fighting for.”

ACL rundown
Woke up early Saturday to catch a bus going to congress and 5th. About an hour into the bus ride, stops started picking up more ACL goers (many with 3 day wrist bands…I’m slightly envious) and random people who needed to go places. When we saw Congress and 10th, we decided to hop off the bus, since it was getting crowded and walking there would probably be faster.
GUADALUPE AND 4th, and on a bus off to ACL. We caught a few songs from The Antlers and decided to eat a bit before the next act. I WAS SO EXCITED FOR YOUNG AND THE GIANT. And and AND right as they got on stage, a nice HUGE raincloud covered the skies and within seconds of some fat rain droplets, it poured, and the crowd, the lead singer, and everyone was going crazy for the few seconds of some heavy rainfall.
We sat near the AMD stage and looked over to the Honda stage for City and Colour, AND WHEN IRON AND WINE CAME ON, I was very happy :] He didn’t have silly scraggily hair this time, but it was still good none the less.
We had to haul ass to get over to the stage where Skrillex was setting up, and a huge crowd had gotten there, we got to push and shove a bit closer, but a lot of angry moms were pushing us back because they didn’t want to be near all the cigarettes. Took another break with food, AC, more food and tea, and headed towards the stage where Stevie Wonder was going to play at…probably 20 ish minutes later, he finally appears (HE HAD A BIGGER CROWD THEN KANYE WEST.) And we probably sang a little bit with everyone before we started heading out towards AMD to see My Morning Jacket and run towards the buses.
OVERALL: Cullen really likes the vibe of Austin and my parents seem to like him a TON! :] And I will now photo spam you when I have the energy to, but alas, my eyes call for some closing.
