| | Growing UpI remember the cold seeping up my legs, settling in my thighs. Toes burning cold, breath steaming the air. Staring down at my pink puff boots, pole lagging in my hand. It was dark out but slowly dawn was approaching, lights of the cars going by streaming across my face. Too cool for a hat or scarf, chill in my puffy jewel green jacket that was too big for me. A crowd of kids walk up and wait for me. I carefully check to the right, left and right again for incoming vehicles. I run into the middle of the street and hold my school patrol flag up as the kids shuffle pass and the cars squelch to a stop. Man, do I feel like a dork.
LOL Years later, I notice the children shyly holding up their school patrol signs up as I whiz on by to drop my kids off at the sitter, too much rush, too much slush.
I passed the 1350 state practical examination on Monday, December 10th, 2007 with a 100%. 180 points out of 180 points. Man, was I freaking out on that roller set that I had to do in 20 min! The look on Tassie's face (she was my model) was priceless. I passed the Promissor Cosmetology Generals with a 95% and Minnesota Cosmetology State Laws Exam with a 92% on Tuesday, December 11th, 2007. Damn, I am glad it's over with! I have 8 days of school left and I'm so excited to be done soon!!!!
I received an employment offer from Moxie Salon, http://www.moxiesalon.com to start February 1, 2008. They have an Uptown and a Midway location. I'm SO psyched. They had a very stringent hiring procedure as they are very selective.
1. Informational Interview (2 hrs)
2. Letter of Intent
3. One on One Interview with Owner (1 hr)
4. Hang-Out (4 hrs in salon)
5. Technical Interview (3 hr 30 min) Full cut and color with foils
6. Shampoo the Artistic Director (15 min)
From step 1, there were 8 people interested. By the time I was at step 5, they had narrowed it down to 4 people. My girl, Marina Moua also received an offer. We were at the technical interview together.
I still love doing nails, Mary Henry's nails were gold glitter on her tips faded up into EZ Flow's Boogie Nights Funky Town glitter on her nail bed. Zia Lee had a radical french tip done in Absolute Chromatone's I'm Not Really A Waitress and Funky Town on her nail bed. They were freaking BEAUTIFUL!
Christmas will be full of games and food this year. No real presents because it has gotten too overrated and commercialized. I have a ton of product and will probably give that away!
Lee came in for a cut and a style, a new look.
I don't remember how long it's been since I put up a blog.

Kami, naked as usual except for her diaper and me in scrubs, cooking first. And she is having one of MY favorite meals growing up. Oscar Mayer Cheesiest Cheese Dogs with white rice. Yummers!
Chy's art of photography. He likes candid pictures better.
Words of advice: Slow your roll down and stop to smell the roses. I'm guilty as charged.
