things are looking up
I love my job, and my boss loves me. He pulled me aside last night to tell me that he thinks I am doing great, and that he thinks I am going to be really good there. He said I do beautiful work, and he is really pleased with how I handle clients. Im thrilled that after only 3 weeks he is already that pleased with my work. I really think this is going to be the place for me. Plus I love that they do things together. We have a beach day planned for April, and every saturday after work a group of people goes to Bonefish Grill for food and drinks. I went to the gay bar with Bee last night ( I work with her now, and we are gym buddies) and we had a blast! Things are really looking up, and I am loving it!
On the gym front I have started going regularly and I feel soo much better. I have been doing Zumba and Fridays and it is soo much fun. Im really actually starting to enjoy working out (weird I know) , but it gives me more energy and make me feel better in general. In fact I was worked a little too hard on Tuesday and have had to skip a few days and its killing me… I want to go back soo bad! I might just swing by after work tomorrow.
All in all things are good right now…

the new job
“Get happiness out of your work or you may never know what happiness is.” ~ Elbert Hubbard
So, today was the second day at my new job, and I think I am really going to like it. I got 2 clients today which is a very nice change from the salons that I have been in so far. It also means that I should be able to build my book quickly which means more money. So that is definitely a good sign. Its a huge salon of like 65 people, but so far most of the people I have met there seem really nice which is also a hugh plus. In salon life its not uncommon for the other stylists to be a little cold for a while, until you kinda prove yourself to them. Being welcomed in is a very nice change. I think this could be good for me, its early still, but signs are pointing in the right direction, and time will tell.
This sure puts a kink in the whole going back to college idea. Altough I must admit that a least a little part of me wonders if I might have gotten hung up on that out of boredom. Maybe I was just looking for something to do. It kind of occured to me today that I never really worried about the whole college thing until I was unhappy with my work. I dunno, Im rather confused right now. Its really a very scary decision. I could continue working and in the next three years I could have a full book and be making great money, OR I could go back to school and in three years be starting all over from scratch. Yea, it would probably be nice to have a degree to fall back on, and I think it would be a fun experience, but I just dont know. So, at this point I am going to finish some applications, see how things go with the job, and not worry about making a decision until I have to.
God I wish it were easier to know what the right thing to do is. Sometimes I wish there would just be some huge flashing sign to point you in the right direction. Unfortunately I think I am on my own on this one.

I think I am going to go to college….
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities. ~Dr. Seuss
I never did go because I always knew I wanted to be a hairdresser. Well, I went to community college for a year and hated it, so I went to trade school instead. I figured why waste my time and money doing something that I dont really need! But recently I have been thinking about it a lot and thinking that I might have missed out on a lot of things by not going. So I figure while I am still young and single I might as well give it a go. I think it might be fun. The idea of quitting my job is a little scary, especially since I am just starting at a new salon, but I think it might be worth it. I figure since I keep thinking about it, I will probably regret it later if I never go. So now to decide where I want to go…..

Im becoming a blob!
“There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.” ~Mary Wilson Little
Ok, that might be a bit dramatic, but I have been feeling soo lazy recently. I think this not having a steady job thing is really starting to ge to me. Im not used to having nothing to do. I usually only have a precious few days off and plenty to do to fill them up. I find the long you have no where to be the harder it beomes it get myself out of bed at a decent hour. (though I am working on that so that I wont feel completely awful when I start working again) The one job I am currently working, is part time and more often consists of working late night during which I dont make it home until after 1am. Those hours are sure not helping. Its hard to stay motivated when you really dont have anything pushing you. I dont like this feeling at all. So, I am intent on becoming more active, not only so I dont feel so lazy, but also so I can be healthier. If I dont start doing something with myself soon I think I really will become a blob! Exercise starts today! wish me luck.

Boredom …
Someone’s boring me. I think it’s me. ~ Dylan Thomas
So I am glad that I quit my job at the last salon I was at. It was making me misreable and I just couldnt stay there any longer. The second job has gotten me thru jusst fine so far, having been quite busy with holiday partys and such. Though the lack of need to be anywhere during the day and the late hours worked at the other job have really messed with me. Im growing increasingly bored with how things are right now. And quite honestly the lack of need to be anywhere has made me quite lazy! I sleep in far latter than I should and I spend most of my days doing nothing. Its hard to get motivated when there is nothing driving you. I am eargly awaiting the news of when I will be able to start the new job! I think that will help things a lot.
So as you can see not much has happened lately. I had a lovely hoilday with friends and family and enjoyed a fabulous New Years Eve with some great new friends. Outside of that things have been pretty calm. And extremely quite since I dropped my phone in soda and it is no longer working. It has only been two days without it, but that is my only mean of contact with people around here, so as you ca imagine it has not been fun! My new phone should hopefully be here tomorrow and which point I can resume life as usual and will be very grateful for that! Hope everyone is having a lovely new year!

The holidays
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis
As stressful and crazy as they can be with all the traffic and last min to dos , if you can get past it all and just relax they are really quite nice! I of course put off all of my holiday shopping until just about the last min, cuz well, thats just how I do it. But I spent today running around town with my brother getting all the shopping done, and I have spent the last two evenings baking cookies with my mom. We ended up with a lot os extra cookies, but it was nice. Im looking forward to relaxing with my family, and giving everyone their gifts! Im really enjoying all the time with friends and family. Last night I baked cookie with mom while Cole and her boyfriend hung out, then I went to meet Britt for a few drinks! We had a blast! Things are good right now, great friends, family, and a new job starting soon. A good way to head into the new year! Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season with friends and family!
