The Long and Short of It

One thing that I really hate doing is going to get my haircut. I don't know if it's that I have never found a stylist that I really love or I just get uncomfortable in situations with strangers. It actually may be a little of both. I don't know I guess I'm weird.

If I remember correctly the last time I got my haircut was last summer sometime in July. If I kept my hair long that usually wouldn't be a problem. The thing is is that I usually get my hair cut pretty short so by the 4th month after a haircut it starts to look a little shabby. This time I went a little longer than usual and it was super long by the time I decided to suck it up and go get a haircut.

I got a groupon to one of the salons near me that I was actually thinking about trying so not only did I solve my haircut problem the cheapskate in me was satisfied too.

Here are the before and after. It's actually a little shorter than I wanted but I guess it will just last me a little longer.

If your heart ain't in it

I had to wear this monitor for 24 hours to record my hearts rhythm. Hopefully the findings will not be anything serious. You hope that at the ripe old age of 36 you are not going to have problems with your heart.

Stupid auto-immune thingy.

Can I trade you in for a newer more reliable version?

Selling myself

This is going to be tough for me but I am determined to spend more time and energy into making new things for my Etsy shop.

I haven't mentioned it to a lot of people but I haven't been working at my old job since December. I knew the time would eventually come but when it did I have to say that I was surprised and really saddened. I worked for the same company for about 7 years. I grew and learned a lot there.

For over 5 of those years I worked for a wonderful man that had a heart of gold. He treated me like I was family. After he suddenly died I found myself working for his wonderful daughter. I was with her until she was forced to sell the business. Which made us all really sad.

Under the new owners I was determined to hang in there and keep the business going the way Ed had intended. But in the end it didn't work out that way.

So I am spending my time and energy trying to create wonderful things to put in my shop to not only keep me busy, but help make up the income we lost. I know that people that are really successful at this type of thing really sell themselves and their products. This is where it gets hard for me. I just don't carry that gene.

So bear with me here and on facebook when I post my new stuff because I will be successful at this.

I hope. (that's my old self talking :)

So go buy some cool stuff. digadig

Don't forget if you're local you can get my necklaces and naugahyde hair clips at Otto in Fullerton.
