John from Salon Now can kiss my ass.
When i called a week or so ago and told him i not only needed a colour, but probably a colour correction , he booked me in at 2.30 today, knowing they close at 4. I didn't think it would be enough time. But, hey, it's been a while since i worked in a salon, so i guess i must be rusty. I doubted my knowledge, and that is a pity.
I arrived on time, even a bit early and waited 40 minutes. Liz was running late. And i could see she was working hard trying not to be late.
When i sat down and told her what i wanted, she had a bit of a meltdown. I told her that i told the person who answered the phone what i wanted and needed and was told there would be enough time. But there wasn't.
And now, i can put the voice to the face and the name to both, thanks to Liz telling me his name. John answered the phone and booked me.
Of course, i left disappointed in what i have. It's OK. Not great, but OK.
Liz did her best and stayed over an hour and half late to finish it. I have no issue with what she did and tried to do for me. She calmed down, calmed me down and got my hair to a point when it looks... well, less fucked up. And not bad, not bad at all. Considering the time contraints and the messed up head of hair she had to work with, she worked her ass off.
But it isn't what i wanted. Not the pretty reds i wanted to be out in the warm Tennessee air with at our friend's wedding.
And i don't want to be upset about it because it is just hair. Hair grows. And now, when it grows, i won't have too much of a regrowth line.
But i am upset about it. I wanted to enjoy the walk from the salon at Allen and Elmwood home here to Bird and Grant. Nice day, pretty red hair... opps... well, it was a nice walk. Shame that every step i took i was less and less happy with my damn hair.

For Our e:Lord and e:CreatorSince you have moved from food to trash, (e:Paul), i thought i would take and post a couple of pictures of the very full dumpster at the estate sale building for you.
As i mentioned, i really really really loved throwing things out the window into that dumpster. Now, it is full. Boo hoo...

CorrectionCategory: work
I have a few things i need to clear up. I don't think it's a big deal, but i just don't want ya'll to get the wrong idea.
My mean and evil bosses are not really mean and/or evil. But don't tell them i said that. Truth be told, i'm rather fond of both of them.
One of them can't decide where her bra is supposed to go. Psst... inside the shirt. No wonder she's know for being mad.
And the other claims to know how to do laundry. Can't tell from the look of this shirt, now can you?
I am ever so grateful that i am the one that holds the camera. Who knows what kind of pictures of me they would take!
I've had a lot of jobs in my time, but i've never had as much fun working as i do with them. Honestly, people, how many of you can say you leave work tired but happy, laughing and dirty, almost looking forward to another day of it?
Working for them, i feel valued and worthy. Can't say, job wise, it's happened to me before...

Wellie Funeral *sob*Today i finally did it. I gave up on my wellies. I loved them, but alas, they let me down.
The brown flowery ones i wore often this past autumn and winter, but come spring, they sprung. A mere once (e:Uncutsaniflush) tried to repair them.
My black polka dot ones, i wore only once or twice. I loved them. Attempted repairs were made several times. None successfully. Now, they are gone.

Alright then, (e:britian). I just went out to the curb. I figured if the big garbage truck in the sky hadn't taken them yet, the exhumation was possible. They are now back in the house. Today, i will ask said fine gentleman how i should go about this ebay business...

Why not exhume them and we can give it a try? We'll just have to ask the big chap how best to describe them.

Nooo those were still good, Leeee!
I am such a packrat.
I've had some American Eagle sneakers since Black Friday, they've had a hole since January and I am still wearing them until I am sure the snowing will stop. Sure its nice now, But it may snow mid July.
Paul, I'm sure if there were a contest of people having random garbage in their livingroom, I'd take the cake.
I would seriously pay someone to clean up for me. When I was on campus I paid my friends to do my laundry (They had to pick it off the floor- gross.

Thanks for the pics. I am obsessed with pictures of stuff being thrown out. I realized after (e:jenks) gave me the book of the dude who catalogued every food item he ate for a year, that I had been outranked and needed to move on from the food thing. I am now considering a documentary about everything I throw out for one month.

Chaos and ShoesToday started off on bit of a chaotic note. My mean and evil bosses and i forgot to arrange a time for me to get picked up to go to work. Guess that's what happens when we take a day off.
I was just out of the shower with my hair up in a towel when they arrived. Funny how when i am up early and running on time, i wait. Yet, when i think i have lots of time or i am a bit behind, they are on time.
My mom was also on the phone wanting to know about the cruise... It was difficult to put on deoderant, dress and talk on the phone at the same time.
The day wasn't a total writeoff, however. I got fed a yummie greek salad for lunch (sorry, (e:Paul), no pictures) and got to be the assitant to the urban anthropolgists.
After work, i got myself a cute pair of shoes -- that are totally out of character for me, but i really like them -- for the wedding in KnoxVegas next week. Whoo hoo! Shoes will always make a girl's day brighter!
I leave you, dear readers, with more pictures of the bane of my exsistence -- dishes, dishes, dishes!

I hear ya. When walking out of a salon, I expect that extra bounce in my step.
Not your fault, (e:James). Totally not your fault.
(e:Mike) once recommended a dentist to me, and i wouldn't blame him at all if i got a filling that was done wrong there.
Same deal with hair.
Oh, John has never steared me wrong in terms of hair cuts. But then, I am a boy, and boy hair issues are super easy. Sorry I recomended the place to this unfortunate end.
