So I am really REALLY excited to say that I got a new job, and I'm starting tomorrow. :)
I had said that I was gonna start that other extrememly part time job previously this week. Well that didn't happen. I got ridiculously sick the night before I was about to start. Apparently my friends and I were passing around some kind of stomach virus, and it had me up getting sick all night, and some the next day. I was dizzy and weak for about 2 days. Yeah, was lots of fun. So anyway, Wed morning I had a client (that I definitely didn't wanna get outta bed for, was still not back to 100% awesomeness) but I did anyway. I love this guy. He's the CEO of the financial planning firm that I'm working with, he's absolutely hilarious, and he always wants me to come to his office to cut his hair. So 9am wed morning, that's where I was. Everytime I go to cut his hair, I go into this adorable little coffee shop that's a couple blocks away when I'm done. Everytime I've been in there, I've asked if they're hiring, and the girl working behind the counter would always say she didn't know but that the owner wasn't there, so I should come back in a couple weeks. Well THIS TIME! The owner was there, and she was this little asian lady who was up working with the girl, and she's pregnant. One of the customers who I assume is a regular said 'what are you doing working!! you should be off your feet!" and the owner said that she'd had 3 girls leave and that she's having to pick up the slack. Well I immediately yelled out "well are you hiring?????" with a big smile, and the girl handed me an application. I started filling it out right there while they made my coffee drink and breakfast sandwich. The girl brought me my drink with a smile, and as I finished up my application my sandwich was ready. I was originally going to get it to go, but I sat down and ate it there, just in case the owner wanted to talk to me then. When all the other customers had left, the owner looked over my app and started asking me questions from behind the counter. "So you've started your own business then?" and i told her about my hair and art stuff. She then came over and sat with me, we talked for about another 5 minutes, and she hired me on the spot :). "How soon can you start??" hehe... I start tomorrow morning.
Yes I know this might not sound like a huge deal to you, but you just don't understand my love of coffee shops. I eventually want to open my own coffee shop in some small town somewhere, so I've been wanting to get back into a coffee shop to get around it again, so I can start relearning the business of it. And this place is so cute... I'll have to post pictures. My most favorite job ever was working in a coffee shop. I'm. Just. So. Excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On an even better note, this week has been really good for my hair business. Even with my sickyness, I got a total of 5 new clients this week. This is huge! I had 4 new clients last week. All of my new clients have loved their hair, I've even gotten a couple of emails thanking me for such a good job, and how much they just love it. A few are passing out flyers for me, and everyone's just been really supportive. I really feel like things are finally on the way up, and life is just getting better and better. Maybe that tarot card reading was right! Or maybe it just gave me the boost that I needed :) yay!!!

ok ok ok.
I know I haven't been keeping up very well with writing in here. To be honest, I just haven't felt like it lately.
I'm starting a new EXTREMELY part time job this tuesday. I signed on with a temp agency, and they found me the job. It's only one day a week, but the girl that I'm working with at the agency is looking for other things to fill up my other days. I guess it's a start haha. But I have been getting busier with hair clients too.. had a good week last week, and having another good one this week.
Oh yeah I got a tarot card reading done.. there was a girl giving them at this event that i was involved in, I was a vendor in it, showing off my artwork and advertising my hair services. The event was a total flop.. hardly anyone showed up and we had been working on this thing for almost 2 months. We had 11 vendors... and maybe 15 guests came? It was horrible, but luckily I did make some good contacts with the other vendors, and got a few clients out of it. Hey... I'll take what I can get! And one of the girls that I met there, I already did her hair and she LOVED it... seriously the girl went a little crazy she loved it so much haha... and I'm doing her sister's and mom's hair this week, and possibly her aunt in the near future as well. So you just never know what doors will open. ANYWAY, about the tarot card reading... the girl tells you to think about something that has been bothering you, or something that you feel lost about, or just something that you're wanting an answer for. So I think about my career path. And then I question myself and wonder if I should be thinking about my love life? And then I flip back and forth between the two like 8 times in a matter of like 3 seconds, and decide to settle on the career path, while keeping the love life in a close second for questioning haha. She puts all the cards face down on the table and tells me to pick out 3 cards and place them down in front of me in the order that i pick them. These represent the past, present, and future of whatever it is that I'm thinking about. She turns the first card over, and then she explains to me that the card means that in the past, I had let something go for the greater good of my future, something that I wanted to work out, and that did help me, but that I bravely let it go, and that this was a good idea (I'm immediately thinking of how I left my salon job to go into business for myself, and if I'm thinking about love.. of course that means my exes lol). The second card is for the present time, and she turns it over and tells me that it means I'm sitting in idle, and that I need to be patient (which is true of both things again.. my career path is kinda sitting still right now.. i mean it's going in the right direction, but just more slowly than I'd like; and also my love life is definitely in idle right now... there is absolutely no one that has my eye right now, and I'm jsut kinda waiting for the right one to come along). And then for the whopper: the future card. She flips it over, and the girl actually lost her breathe and said 'wow... that is a very powerful card.' It was the empress card, and basically it means that big things are coming my way in the future. She said that hardly anyone has ever picked this card out of her deck in all the years she's been doing this. I just stood there and couldn't help but get really excited, and also exhaled and just calmed down inside. Maybe it's all in fun... but it's fun to think about and consider!
Ok so I was just reading through the best of craigslist. Have ya'll read any of these? I'm picking out some of my favorites.. the ones that had me actually laughing out loud while reading them... and putting them on here for you to read. Some people are so crazy and ridiculous... and they're all on craigslist!! I'll warn you though... some of these are extremely X rated... but still SO worth reading! The first one is my favorite!! So just read these if you're looking for a good laugh :)

bzzzzzzzzzzyyy body
I've been so busy lately that i feel like I don't even have time to think lol. It's been good though. I think i've busied myself into a body breakdown. I have a ridiculous cold that I just can't shake for a few days now. The kind where I can't sleep because I'm up all night coughing, and have to keep shifting in my bed to be able to breathe at all. But hey! My abs are getting a long overdue work out hahaha.
I've cut meat out of my diet for a week now, and gonna try to keep this up for a while. This is the only way i've ever been able to lose weight, and it always made me feel better too when I did it. Still eating fish and some poultry, but trying to keep poultry to a minimum too. Eventually I'll cut that out as well.
I'm having bouts of really ridiculous emotionalness. I'm crying all the time lately, over being happy and being sad haha. I don't know what's wrong with me. I cry over happy movies the most though. I watched Mr. Holland's Opus (one of my all time favorite movies, probably seen it like 50 times at least) the other day while I was painting, and I sobbed throughout the entire thing lol. I had to keep stopping my painting because I had to wipe my face, that seemed to be draining every possible way. It was cute, I'm sure.
But I'm having fun, overall. H (new best friend) and I are seeing each other almost everyday, drinking A LOT, smokin up sometimes too, and we're at the beach or pool so much that I'm thinking my tan has never looked so gooooood. I'm looking for a new job, and I'm supposed to hear back from a company today about their decision, went through two interviews with them so far. I've met a few new girls. One of them was literally a clone of my major ex Joy. It was scary. She walked like her, talked like her, acted like her, had the exact same body shape and posture, same huge boobs (well this girl's were even bigger than Joy's) and the same face shape, she even smelled like her. She's absolutely gorgeous. I mean.. really, REALLY gorgeous. The only difference was her hair, she had longggg blonde hair down her back, and joy's was shorter and darker (when i did it hehe). I even told Joy about her, she laughed and said 'oh lord! maybe you should just lock her in the basement!' haha. yeah, one 'joy' is enough for my life lol, not even gonna go there! The hottie was up my butt for a couple weeks, but I think she caught on after a bit. There have been a couple other prospects though, but I'm still keeping an open mind. Sometimes I feel lonely and just want the comfort of someone there, but I also know that I won't be happy if I rush into something again, and I need to take my time and just let things happen.
Have a big event tomorrow where I have my own booth to display my art and tell people about how I do hair and come to their houses and stuff, along with 10 other vendors who all do something that has to do with beauty and girly stuff (selling jewelry, skin analysis, massage, we even have a tarot card reader!). We're all doing raffles and stuff... I'm hoping it's going to be a big deal, we've been planning it for over a month, and it'll be a good way for us all to get our names out there. I've done probably 5 or 6 new paintings just this week, and I still have a couple more to finish today, so i need to get back to that. I'll post pictures.
