Shitty Day.

Here's how my day has gone today: wake up very rested and energetic.
Went to school - both my clients were no shows.
Did Sarah's hair - didn't turn out how we wanted.
Half a mile from home - I ran out of gas.
Get home - I left my door unlocked and my dog in the dark.
= one shitty day - the man upstairs must've helped me be energetic and rested to handle the days misfortunes.

Yard Work.

Me pulling weeds.

Before...

After...

Way After, haha...

Today we did so much yard work! We pulled weeds for hours.  Mowing the entire lawn was hard work (but Kort did it, haha).  It was a very productive fun day.

Kort's Birthday Dinner - Hilarious!

So yesterday Kort's Mom and Grandma came to the school to get their hair done by me.  It went really well except for now I see where Kort gets his super curly unruly hair! Pam's hair was very difficult to style.  It was great to have the experience though.  Well after getting their hair done and after school, we all went to Buffalo Wild Wings for Kort's birthday dinner.  It was the funniest dinner we've had! Kort's Grandma was all waterworks because the BBQ sauce we chose for her wrap was too hot for her, and on the other side of Pam was Kort's Dad who got one of the spiciest BBQ sauces on his sandwich.  He was sweating bullets! It was so funny to watch them try to eat their meals all the while we were laughing and having a good time about all sorts of things.  :) It was a great birthday dinner.

Crazy Walmart Story!

The funniest thing just happened to me at Walmart - I went there to get an oil change because I had groceries to buy and its a lot more convenient to do it that way since I have a baby that doesn't last long in too many places.  Well, I bought a bunch of fruit and veggies and other groceries so I paid for them at the front and then went to the Tire & Lube to pay for my oil change.  The lady asked me for my ID because I paid with my credit card, which was good, but then she asked me for my receipt for my groceries because she needed to check my bags! I was so stunned, I gave her the receipt and she proceeded to GO THROUGH each bag and make sure each item that was on my receipt was in my bag! It was funny but also a little embarrassing.  I had Alexis in her car seat in the cart so there wasn't much room for a lot of groceries.  Thank goodness I only had a few bags.  WOW!!!

Paul Mitchell/Lunatic Fringe Hair Show!

Me at selling tickets/manning the Silent Auction items

I assisted on her hair.

I had a blast working on the hair show.  I was just supposed to help the teams with whatever they needed and collect tickets...I ended up doing a lot more than that, and I loved it!  It was such a great experience.  I was able to give advice on some tricks to get hair to stay a certain way (not that they took it, but at least I put it out there).  I was in charge of our silent auction at the Hair Show as well as taking tickets, selling tickets and selling bottled water.  Everyone looked amazing and they were so good on the runway.  I loved seeing everyone out there showing off their amazing hair.  What a wonderful night.  Now I'm off to bed, because after being up and going for over 15 hours, I'm beat!!

Las Vegas!

Kort and I booked our trip to Las Vegas yesterday! We are going with my sister Yesenia and Lionel.  We are going to have a blast and it was such an inexpensive rate for the hotel room and gas and the show tickets were on sale too.  We are going to see Chriss Angel/Cirque de Soleil.  I honestly cannot wait.  The only downfall is that we are going to have to leave Alexis for FOUR days! Ick.  I know she is going to be in great hands being with her Grandma but it still is so hard.  I'm already starting to pump my milk like crazy so I can leave plenty of food for her so they don't have to rely on formula should my milk run out.  

I'm going to be super busy the next two months.  I have school five days a week and I have to make up about 50 hours outside of school too.  I should be graduating on May 15th, taking my Cosmetology State Boards test on the 17th, going to see the Eagles in concert on the 18th and going to Las Vegas on the 25th! It sounds like so much fun...yet extremely overwhelming! 

Happy Easter!

We had a very nice Easter with our friends and family.  Alexis looked adorable in her outfit that her Aunt Senia bought for her.  She was wearing a different dress but threw up all over it about ten minutes after getting it on her.  She didn't get very much sleep so for the beginning part of the get together she was a little fussy, but by the end of the night, she was the happiest little princess! The food was great and the company was better.  I love any holiday if its an excuse to hang out with family and get dressed up.  :)

Going to Day School Next Week.

I had an amazing day today at school.  It was my last day at night school and I had a client request to come in before I leave.  She loved her hair!  We put in three colors but with lots of blond.  It worked out perfect and she looked sensational.  I gave her a fun new cut for summer and showed her how to do her hair with some thickening products so it doesn't look dull and lifeless and limp.  She was a great client and I had a great helper today!

I'm sad that I have to go back to day school but in 6 weeks I will be finished with school and taking my state board test to be a licensed Cosmetologist.  I'm super excited.  I can't wait to be able to find a job and do this on a daily basis.  Making people feel good and being able to show my creativity is an amazing feeling.  I am a little sad that I will be leaving my little girl for 9 hours a day to be in school, but I'm leaving her with family that I know will take the best care of her.  That is such a comforting thought.  Anyhow, I'm off to bed.  I just had such a great day I wanted to share it with you.  :)
