Day 23...A Hairy Life

February 11, 2012  •  Leave a Comment
Day 23
 For over 30 years now these have been tools I can't live without...literally. Funny how I've  never really thought of it quite like that until just now. These tools are a major part of ME. In some ways they define me. Of course, not all of me but most definitely a portion of who I am lies in these tools. And they are very, very powerful tools...:)  Believe me, when you're the keeper of these tools, people will likely cancel a doctor's appointment before they will cancel with you! If you're really lucky people will fly home to see you when they've moved away! :) (thank you, you know who you are)...Lots of magical things happen because of these tools. Baby's get their picture taken, brides are made beautiful, prom nights are made special, ladies feel their week is complete and husbands stop in for a bit, just to visit  (we're a pretty fun bunch to be around)...:)
There is never a dull moment at a salon...gossip abounds, (just as expected,) fun, laughter, practical jokes and cattiness too...but most of all friendships develop...There could never be a truer example of that poem that goes around about people coming into your life for a reason or a season. Every time I see that poem, I think of someone, somewhere that I've either worked with or known from working in a salon throughout the years....At some point in time, we've all made an impact in some way on someones life...I'm pretty sure that my job puts me in a position to possibly do that on a regular basis...kind of a big responsibility when I think of it that way...My job gives me many opportunities to make someones day a better day, one way or the other...I hope I do just that!

Making the world a more beautiful place...one head of hair at a time!!!

  Thank you very much to my girlfriends at work, and their clients, for allowing me and my camera to intrude on their magical time!...:)
By the way...don't let that old saying fool you...most of the time we ARE magicians!!


"The Crud"

Wow, the cold virus, whatever it is, can sure take you down a notch or two...or three...:/
I haven't had much energy, after being at work, to sit here at the computer for any length of time. Hence no photo uploading or editing has been done at all the last couple of days...BUT, I have managed to take some shots each day and hope to be all caught up with posting in the next few days! Thanks for taking your time to look at my photos and read my blog...I really appreciate it...Hang in there with me....I'll be back!

Day 22...An Open Book

February 10, 2012  •  Leave a Comment
 Day 22

So, I've been asked many times in my life..."are you a good witch, or a bad witch?" Of course the answer is ALWAYS a "good witch"...(and proud of it, I might add...lol)
But how many times have you ever been asked if you're an open book or a closed book?
Me, I'm 100% certain that I am an open book...what ya see, is what ya get...And I honestly think the people who know me best would agree.
Having said that, I don't know that it's always a good thing being an open book. I can never disguise my feelings, I wear my heart on my sleeve and I'll most often talk about whatever's going on in my life. Just let me say this, from firsthand experience, even with those you know and trust, it's not always a good idea to be that "open book" ...That can be a tough, painful, yet very important life lesson to learn!  Like the "Sunscreen" song says...."trust me" on that one!
But, on the upside of being an open book, I guess it's not all bad...at least you know what you're in for with me!!! :) There is one thing you may not pick up on in Chapter One of that "open book"... I'm a little reckless at times...that's what I've been told anyway. Hmmm,.... me, reckless?
Well, maybe just a tad .... :)

Last, but not least...here she is, once again, my loyal assistant, Orange Cat. This evening was the first night of really feeling crummy with "the crud",  I had to get my framing completed for the display at Belvoir Winery and had yet to find a subject for my photo of the day...All of these things ended up taking place in my dining room and there she sat the whole entire time, keeping me company as always, looking ever so regal in the Thinking Chair!

Sunscreen!...No matter how many times I hear this, it makes me feel good just to hear it again... surely it must be healthy for you!!! If you've heard before, that's ok, listen again...it'll make you feel good inside out!
