Acceptance

It is really hard to accept that I am my own worst critic. Being a PERFECTIONIST takes it's tole. I am coming to realize that it is okay to make mistakes(my current fixation:practice makes perfect in hairstyling..not to say that I am doing bad hair, but I am not doing advanced cuts..). How many times does one have to have reality hit you before you can accept what you need to and move on??? Yesterday, My buddy Amanda and I went to liberty park in the depths of hades to go skating(she skateboarding, me rollerderby)we went around twice and had a blast. An epiphany crossed my mind and I shouted out loud,"I want to be me when I grow up!!!" It has taken 30 years to come out of my shell and accept me for me. I am proud to say that I am letting go little by little of this whole,"Perfectionism thing".. and happily accepting me for my quirks.

It's official!

I received my license a few weeks ago, but it had been printed with my maiden name on it. I finally got my updated one today, so when I join the House of Ashley staff next week that there will no problems. My last days of being a domestic diva are over this week. I have been spending time cutting mannequins hair, and re-watching my Sasoon Videos. I will be working Tuesday's, Thursday's, and Saturday's. It is a cute little shop that is located in Midvale. I will also continue working for CTA Community Supports on Sat graves and Monday afternoons.

Aspiring Derby girl!

I have a confession: My alter ego belongs to that of a derby girl..:) I havent been in roller skates since '94(my first year in college and they were my own!). This is one of the many things I am using to help me lose my Cameo "30". Scott bought me a pair of the coolest skates on my 30th birthday! They barely came out to see the world until yesterday. Who knows what a few years of practice could bring...

Viva La Juice!

It's official! Monday I sent off for my license on Monday and was told it would be in the mail 10-14 days!!! It has now hit me that this is,"For real". I am home most of the time now until it comes. I do not know just yet what is going to happen from there, but I will keep you posted! Scott has been working extra hard lately! We have been watching the on demand for the show Dexter and cannot get enough. I have some pictures of my niece shiloh's 1st birthday!
but this is my favorite...her mom Krissy says Shiloh loves juice...All I can say is when I see this it says,"Long love Juice!"

Done at last!

I graduated from Cosmetology school last week! I still have one written test to finish and that will be my key to getting signed up for state boards. Until I have my license cutting is not in option in a salon setting. READ between the lines on that one. Summer is right around the corner and I thought I would be an extrodinary wife and help my husband out with the yard. We spent an amazing 6 hrs yesterday doing yard work. Some plusses: Our front yard is 20 min from being complete. We met our new neighbors Jen and Jason. They seem to be on the same pathway as ours with desert friendly plants. Negatives: My body isn't working well today! :) worked all of my muscles!(A good way to lose my cameo 30).

2 Weeks left.

Wow can you believe I graduate in 2 weeks??? :) that is so cool. It seems all too surreal for me now. I haven't been much a friend to anyone because of my dedication. I know I know that doesn't give me a license to be that way-but I am OVERLOADED and both EXHAUSTED. Scott's 30th birthday is on 4/29/08! I cannot wait!!! :)I still have no idea what he wants...as usual :)...Send me a comment and let me know how you are doing!!!

What lies ahead???

How is everyone doing out there? I am getting closer to my last day of school! I have been working on a lot of personal goals. Spring to me is a rebirth, and I feel it like the earth(strangely that rhymes). Scott and I have been working our booties off, but taking the time to spend a little with eachother. He is going to do some volunteer work tomorrow...Did I ever tell you how highly I think of him? Bless his soul! That man would give the shirt off his back for you and then some. I am his little pig pen :) Did everyone have a good easter? What does it mean for you, spiritually? Send me a comment back!
