To much time, to little to do..HA!

So, since I have an overabundance of time on my hands (as if) I thought it would be fun to create a blog. I have no idea what to blog about, but figure I have enough randoms ideas and thoughts in my head each day that I should launch them into cyber space like so many others before me.

Since this is my first post I guess I should do a bit of an introduction. My name is Rachel, I live in Chicago and love it here most of the time. I hate the winters, but since it is sunny and almost 50 degrees today in January, I can't really complain much about them right now. I'm currently a student studying to get my degree with a major in psychology (read that to mean I way over analyze everyone and everything). I'm also taking a lot of science courses as I am planning to apply to vet school when I am done. I LOVE animals. I have two cats, Winnie and Matilda, and a dog, my baby, Ivy . She is my inspiration for vet school and also the title for my blog. Ivy eats a raw diet made up of meats and bones and veggies. It was in learning about how to feed her a proper diet and care for her more naturally and holistically that I really started to develop an interest in veterinary medicine. For right now I find much of my life is spent researching, learning and explaining to others about raw diets, holistic medicine for animals and what I eventually want to do...so instead of a dog eat dog world, I live in a dog eat raw world. I'm not the most creative at titles, so if it is lame I am open to suggestions to change it, if I can that is.

Besides going to school and caring for my animals I also work full time for a unique little company. I'm basically the office manager and all around go to person for whatever. It pays my bills and keeps a roof over my head and my babies have food and toys, that's what matters.

Anyway...I think that is enough of an intro for now. Thanks for reading.
