I'm officially crazy!

Last Thursday car guy and I went bowling after work. We had both had stressful weeks so it was the perfect
was to just relax and have fun together. I grew up bowling, both my mom and dad bowl and have been on bowling leagues, and I was on a bowling league last summer. Now I'm not an awesome bowler but I am not
horrible either. Here were our scores from the second game we bowled.
















My score is on top and his score is on bottom. He told me he doesn't like bowling with me. He doesn't like the fact that he gets beat so bad by a girl. Ha! He had suggested we go and play putt putt (he played on the golf team in college). I promised him he would kick my butt every single time in putt putt no doubt, cause I am terrible!!!!! There is a putt putt course on the cruise so we will have to try it out.


I had a great weekend. My sister came in town, which is always fun. We get along great now and always enjoy each others company. We are six years apart so when we were younger, like when I was 12 and she was 6, we didn't really have all that much in common. Friday night car guy and I went over to some friends of ours house and then we ended up at flashbacks. I don't know if I have talked about flashbacks before or not but this place really is a blast from the past. The people that go there all look and act as if they are caught in the 70's, so it is a fun place to go and just people watch and have a good time. Saturday, my sister and I had lunch at Huey's and then went and saw the movie Going the Distance with Drew Barrymore. It was hilarious, and I would definitely recommend it. Saturday night we went to a party at car guys boss' house. I was soooo tired Saturday night but we ended up staying till 1 am. Sunday I went to lunch with my mom and we went to the Germantown festival. It's like and arts and crafts fair and it was a lot of fun but it was really hotter than I expected it to be. Then I just came home and started the laundry.

We leave to go on the cruise in 1 day. We are getting up at 4 am Thursday morning and leave out of Mobile, AL, so it's a 6 hour drive. We have to be on the boat by 2:30 and the boat leaves at 4 pm. The we have a day at sea and then Cozumel (we decided not to do anything in Cozumel, I wanted to swim with the stingrays and he wasn't crazy about the idea and we thought about doing the zip lines but decided we would just walk around and shop and then go to Senor Frogs. My brother and sister and I love Senor Frogs and if you have ever been there you know why. They always have a party going on!) and then we have another day and sea and then we are back in Mobile on Monday at 8 am.

And here is the reason I am officially crazy!


















Yep I traded my old Beetle and bought ANOTHER beetle! For those of you who know me and are trying to figure out how many I have had this is my 4th Beetle. I have owned a silver hardtop, an orange hard top, a navy blue convertible with a tan top, and now a white convertible with a black top. So I feel like I am officially a crazy Beetle lady! But I have good reasoning behind it. This is the last year they are making them so I had to get a last year edition one. I also got 0% and my payments are going to be significantly lower, so I figured why not!!! Plus, is what I would like to do is the next time I have to get another car, (like if I ever need a 4 door car for something) I would like to not trade the Beetle and just get another car and just keep the Beetle looking nice and use it for fun and maybe one day it will be worth something and if not I could always save it and give it to my kids one day, but I'm sure by the time I have kids those cars will be so "uncool"! Ha!

So if I don't blog tomorrow I definitely will on Tuesday with pictures from the cruise! Yay!!

Have a great rest of the week and weekend cause I know I will!

Pictures



















So first picture....this lady and her dog came into the dealership where I work and well I just HAD to take a picture of this!!! I have never seen a dog that would be that calm and wear sunglasses! The dogs nails were painted pink to match the pink bow and the pink sunglasses!















This is a picture of me and my beauty school bestie girl Devan (from the bowling student appreciation day that I talked about)....I have a guy friend named Devin as well, so we always refer to her as girl Devan!


And these are the famous perm pictures. This is actually one of the perms from my test out. So they are getting much better and I don't hate them as much!!!

The Things I Don't Understand

I don't understand why when people get a flyer in the mail that we sent them, why do they feel the need to call up here to let me know they no longer want to be on our mailing list?? For starters I don't personally send out these mailers, a company does it for us and no I don't know who they are nor do I have their phone number! So I was wondering do these people call Walmart when they send them an add in the mail? Or Firestone when they send out coupons in the mail? Probably not. They waste more time calling up here complaining to me about the flyer that took up sooooo much space in their mailbox than if they just throw it in the trash. I mean really people please just throw it in the trash for pete's sake.

On another exciting note, I am officially done with the practical portion of the junior test out, now all I have left is the written portion. THANK GOODNESS!! and i will officially be a senior for the rest of the time I am in school. Scary. It is crazy to think of how fast the time has gone by. This year of my life has gone by really fast so hopefully graduation will feel like it is just around the corner. Then it will be find a job time, which will be scary again! I have some pretty good connections though so I'm hoping those will come into play when the time comes.

I have done so much better on my perms lately and I even took pictures of what I would say is my best perm yet, unfortunately I cant get the pictures to load to the computer, but as soon as I do I will put them up so you can see them.

Fifteen days until me and carguy take our cruise to Cozumel. I can wait! It will be a much needed break. A small break but a nice one. We leave out of Mobile, AL on a Thursday and get back Monday morning. I will definitely post pictures of that! That's about all that is exciting in my life right now. Friday night carguy and I are going to Zoo Brew with some friends of ours. Zoo Brew is held at the zoo and they have over 100 beers from different parts of the world that you can try. I have always wanted to go but every year when I go to buy tickets they are sold out, but this year I lucked out!

Lately...

Its been awhile! I have been so busy lately! This week I am testing out of the Junior class to be a SENIOR!!! I cant believe it has gone by so fast. I will be a senior for about a year though so now is when it will probably start to slow down a lot. So here's a recap of what has been going on....my teacher made me do my first haircut and color on a client a couple of Saturdays ago to help me get over my fear. It helped a lot but I am still a little scared. This upcoming week is student appreciation week and on Thursday school is closed and we are going bowling instead! I'm really excited about this cause they are giving away prizes (like hairdryers and curling irons) and I really hope I win one! My sister came in town this weekend to visit and we went to Olive Garden Thursday night, Friday night I went and had dinner with my friend Sally and then went and met up with car guy and some friends of his that were in town. Saturday i went to school and then came home and highlighted my sisters hair again, well I just did the touch ups that needed to be done, and then went to Salsa for dinner with car guy and his friends. Sunday, me and my sister and car guy went to breakfast and then Sunday afternoon me and car guy went to the lake and went jet skiing with some friends of ours. We ended the weekend with dinner at The Boiling Point and it was a blast. Car guy and I are going on a cruise to Cozumel in September and I can hardly wait. i am counting down the days and the things that I need to get together! I will keep better updates (according to my step mom I have been slacking lately! lol)

One of those days

Today was one of those days.

We are able to do anything on the clinic floor now.

I can cut, color, and do whatever to people's hair on the clinic floor.

This wasn't supposed to happen for another 4 weeks. I haven't even been through Color 3 or Sculpture 3.

But because of a teacher being let go we only have one teacher for the juniors and seniors. The seniors get him on Tuesday all day while we are out on the clinic floor. And we have him in the classroom the rest of the week.

This terrifies me. I am one of those people that I don't feel confident if I don't know all of what I am supposed to or if I have not mentally prepared for something (yes I know you can't mentally prepare for everything in life, but if I could trust me I sooo would!)

Needless to say I have been worrying about this for quite some time now. I know I just need to get the first one over with and it will be a piece of cake from there. I know that I am in school to learn. But I am learning that I am a perfectionist. I am afraid that if I mess up on my first school haircut or color that I will be afraid to do more of them. I have cut several people's hair, but I knew them. I even highlighted my sisters hair. I swore up and down I would NEVER do her hair cause she would be my toughest critique and if I messed it up I knew she would probably make me cry and tell everyone (maybe even people she met in line at wal-mart that I messed up her hair). Ok so maybe I'm over exaggerating about her a little...but really it's just a little.. you see dramatics runs in our family and me and my sister tend to get a little over dramatic SOMETIMES ( you know I lova ya sam!). But needless to say her hair turned out good and she loved it. But my fear is still the strangers that walk in off the street that scare me most. But I am working on overcoming it. So I am on the floor again on Saturday and I will let you know how it goes.

I should probably rename this blog confessions of a worryacholic! ha!
