Sweet Margie!!!!

I have the sweetest client. So everyone knows I do hair and I love it, most days. I've been doing Margie's hair for about 6 months now. She followed me from my old job and I'm so glad she did. Margie is 75 years old, lost her husband about three years ago, only has step children, and had a stoke about 9 months ago. We have really good conversations and she always has the scoop on what's going on with news, celebrities, and politics. The last couple times she's come in she has brought me cookies, or flowers. So cute. I really appreciate it. So I did her hair today and she brought me flower's and a card for Valentine's day! I was so excited about it. I love her to death she's the sweetest little old lady. I'm so grateful that I'm able to spend 2 hour's with her every month and make her day. She's the best!

Flat Tire!!! : (

Almost two weeks ago it was my day off so I decided to go shop for church shoes. I bought 2 pairs cause they were so cute and I couldn't decide which one to get so I just got both. Anyways on my way back I was jamming out in the car and I could hear this noise, just like I was driving over man wholes. I stopped once I turned my music down so I could see what it was. And it was a flat tire... my first. Luckily this nice man was across the street and came to save me. He tried to help my by driving me up to my apartment that was only a couple blocks away so we could get a spare tire. We soon realized that we had lug nut locks on our rims. You have to have a certain key for them to get them off and I didnt have it. Kelii, my brother still had it in Las Vegas. I was really frustrated. So 8 days later we finally get the key. We also had to buy a jack. we tried to lift the car but the jack wasn't working so we waited another day. Long story short a week and a half later we finally get the tired changed so we can use it again. I'm so glad its done hopefully it doesn't happen again, but if it does at least I'll be ready.

Happy 24th Birthday Hartley!!!

Yesterday was Hartley's 24th Birthday! We slept in, went to church, he got a call from his parents, and then I started to bake and cook. I made a round four layer cake with chocolate and yellow cake. Oh and chocolate icing. It turned out really well for my first time making a layered cake. I was pretty proud of myself and Hartley said he was impressed, so I did my job. I wanted him to have a really good day so I did dishes, and cooked a big meal. I made chicken in the crock pot, greenbeans with bacon, and mashed potatoes. It turned out awesome and he really enjoyed it all. We spent a quiet evening alone, just the two of us. I hope he has an awesome year and that his birthday wish will come true. Love you Hartley!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

We had an awesome Christmas!!! We were planning on sleeping in but I woke up early. We decided to wait until Christmas morning to put our presents out that way it was a little more exciting and I couldn't peak at my gifts. I got Hartley shirts mostly but he also got "The Dark Knight", "Hit Man", A really nice tie, a tie holder and Transformers for fun. I got a yoga mat, journal, back pack, enties (shoes), and matching shirts. Then he surprised me with another bag. It was a little gold bag, so I opened it, inside was a little white box. They were 1/4 carat diamond earrings. They were beautiful. I love them. I still can't believe he bought me diamonds. He said I needed "Bling." hahaha. He's so cute I love him. Later we had Emi, Kiki, and Ty over. We made a really nice dinner, watched "The Dark Knight" and had hot chocolate to end the night. It was a great day.

Christmas Party!!!

My Aunt had a States family Christmas party this weekend. It was really fun. Most of the family was there and lots of grand kids. We sang songs, ate really awesome food of course. Had a small talent show for those who wanted to share, and then someone special showed up. Santa!!! I thought that was such a cool thing to do for the kids, they loved it. I even sat on Santa's lap to tell him what I wanted. My brownies were a hit which was nice, I didn't have to take to many home to eat myself. Spending time with that side of the family was nice since it doesn't happened to often and its always a good time. I got to hold my cousins new little girl "Tasi" she's beautiful, and my Aunts new puppy He's way cute. We didn't go home to late and overall it was a good night. I love Christmas.

My new job!!!

I had my last day at Supercuts on Tuesday. It was a little sad to leave my friends but not bad enough to stay. I started at Dollarcuts on Friday. It was really good a little slow but the environment is really relaxed and I felt very comfortable and welcomed. The girls I work with are very friendly and cool. I still feel a really good about it, and the fact that its only a block and a half away from our apartment makes me feel even better about it. I don't dread going to work anymore and even thought right now the money is not as good having Sundays off, makes it all worth it.

Making some changes!!!!

So I've been doing hair at Supercuts for about 7 months now and its been good however latley its hasn't been so great. I've had to work 9 days in a row once and it just about killed me. Also Corporate drives me crazy with all there "policies" not cool. I love the people I work with I just can't handle being stress out with having a bad schedule and a nagging area manager. So I started to look at different places to work. There is a place a block and a half away from our apartment and they are hiring and everything and it sounds great and its close and I really wanted to do it. But i felt like I should maybe give my job another chance and stick it out for a little while. Then I got the schedule for the month of December and I'm scheduled to work eight days in a row and on the eigth day I'm supposed to drive across town to help out at another store. That was the last straw. I already said I would not work more then five days in a row and I hate working at other stores its not fun at all and you never make good money at other stores. So I called for an interview and I got the job. I put in my notice and I start next tuesday. I'm really excited. I feel really good about it. I hope it all works out. (fingers crossed)
