Who's It Gonna Be?!?

My vote is for David Cook!
I know that he probably is not going to win but he deserves too. He was very good tonight and all the judges were ganging up on him. Not that the other David isn't good (I'll give that to you Jen) but he is very predictable and he has been the same week after week. We will see tomorrow though who is the next American Idol.

A Lil' Fiesta

This weekend my whole family went to my Aunt company picnic. It was a Fiesta theme. The food was disgusting but they had a lot of cool stuff to do. Face painting, cartoon artists, carnival games, a jumping house, a kick ball game, drawings. It was a good time! Here is the picture Josh and I took!
Happy Mother's Day Mom!!

I love my mom because she:
  • puts a roof over my head

  • cooks dinner every night

  • is always there to talk to

  • always gives honest advice

  • loves me no matter what

  • supports me in what ever I do

  • is the best Mom in the world!!!

A Movie Weekend

This weekend we saw 2 movies. That really never happens but it was fun. We saw:

and


Both were pretty funny. I think I liked Made of Honor the best but both were good.

We also went to the Adventure Dome with some friends of ours. Circus Circus is just a older casino so it is a little ghetto but there really is a lot of stuff to do. A lot of rides, little 3-D shows, laser tag, arcade games, circus games (to win the stuffed animals), and miniature golf. I wouldn't pay full price to go but it was fun.

I Love My Job

It is only my 2nd day in the salon but I am loving it. I am having so much fun. Moving into the salon and actually being on my own is sooooo much better than school. The girls I work with are friendly and the salon manager is really easy going. There is a lady that has been doing hair for 26 years a few stations down from me. She has 200 client, an assistant, a laptop with a program for all of her appointment, and a credit card machine because she brings in so much money. I'm not sure if I want to be that busy one day but I know that she knows a lot so I plan on watching her for new techniques and stuff when I don't have clients.

Today I gave 2 little girls a little makeover. Both of them had very long hair and wanted to donate it to Locks of Love. It is an organization were hair is donated and wigs are made for cancer patients. It was so much fun. Both were so excited that they got to help another little girl. Here are some before and afters.

After
The one on the left, her patience was running low so we didn't really style it much. The one on the right, she was just so excited and sat there for as long as I needed her too. Both were so much fun to do.
*Thanks Jamie for my new header. I love it!!
My Station

This is my station. They will be putting a picture or something over that electrical box. When I picked the station I didn't know that it was going to be there.


This a water feature that falls from the ceiling into that pond thing. The shampoo bowls go around that and our color bar is behind there.

A Fun Filled Saturday

Yesterday I...
  • Moved into my salon. FINALLY!! It is beautiful. I'll post some pictures of it next week. I saw 3 clients yesterday, My mom, a patient from the dental office, and Josh. All went very well. I worked 9 to 3 and that's it. No one questioned me leaving that early or only working a 6 hour day. I love being my own boss!
  • Went to Josh's company picnic. It was a huge pot luck. A lot of good food. They had an inflated boxing ring with huge boxing gloves. Josh and our friend Mike went at it. They got tired really fast. It was fun to watch though. I wish I had a camera. The park is right next to the bank so the guys played basketball. There was the finals going on to a horse shoe tournament the bank had put together. Water balloon volleyball. Face Painting. A balloon lady who was amazing. She made Josh a spider-man hat to go along with the superhero theme he had going on with his captain america shirt he was wearing. Spider-man had a web coming out of his hand. It was pretty cool. She also made a balloon person of Mike. She even had a fohawk on this balloon person. I was impressed.
  • Went to the 51's game with my family. I have to say I got extremely spoiled last weekend attending 2 major league baseball games. This was nothing. People don't go to the 51's game to watch the game. There were people up and down the entire time. A ton of screaming kids. A fight. Not that there is not any of those at a MLB game but it probably wasn't even over the game. I still had fun though. I told Josh that I was glad I got to go to a game with him that he was actually rooting for the home team because at the Angels game all the rally chants and things were against the Mariners so we couldn't do them ha ha! The 51's won though by a lot. It was cheap entertainment and it was fun.
