The salon is so warm and welcoming, and everyone there is very friendly. One of my very good friends, Summer just moved over there too.

I will miss Hampton's and everyone that works there, but it is time for a new chapter in my life to begin.

It's been a while...

I was not blogging because Twilight took over my life!!  Seriously, that's all I did for about 2 months.  I loved it so much!!  Not only did I read all 4 books, Midnight Sun (the online leak for the 5th book) and see the movie... I am thinking about starting at least the 1st book over.  What is wrong with me?  I really miss my friends.  This is a sickness, I know.  

So hopefully I will be blogging more.

P.s.  The Twilight addiction is all Mrs. Martin's fault. 

Times are tough....

I would love to sit here and type about how busy I am at the salon.  I would love to say I am the most popular hair stylist in all of Orange County.  But that is simply not the case.  Times are tough on everyone right now.  Business has slowed way down for a lot of stylist.  I am still trying very hard to become much busier, but in the mean time, I am looking for babysitting jobs.

If anyone knows a family that is looking for a babysitter/nanny, please let me know.  I am available on weekends, anytime Mondays and have a very flexible schedule.  I have a lot of experience, and can give references if need be.

If you or anyone you know is interested, please let me know and kindly pass this information along.

Currant Love Affair

I heart popcorn.  Like a lot.  Most people don't understand how serious it is.  It is borderline embarrassing.  There is one certain kind that I can't get enough of.  It is the O organics popcorn from Vons.   I can mow thru the whole bag in less than 30mins.   I seriously can't stop eating it.  Matt's Mom buys it for me and keeps it at her house.  I won't allow myself to buy it for my own home. I know it is totally sick and I need help.  Someone stop the madness!

Sexy Halloween Costumes

OK so Matt and I finally figured out what to be for Halloween. (Alice and Mad hatter)  That was hard work in its self, but to find the costume without spending a crazy amount of money will be work.  So, I was looking online for Halloween stores close to our house, online costume sites, etc....

Well I found a bunch of Alice costumes, the only problem is they are titled "sexy Alice".  I am totally aware of girls/women dressing slutty... oh I mean sexy for Halloween.  I am no stranger to that. (trust me)  Anyways,  "sexy Alice" is not church appropriate and I don't want be "sexy Alice".  So I was trying so hard to find an Alice dress that was longer than 2 inches below my rear, and not have my boobs hanging out.

So I found one on the same site as "sexy Alice" but the problem is it is only in plus sizes.  Size 18 or larger.  It was like this on many other websites.

OK, so let me get this straight.  If I am smaller than a size 18, I am supposed to look like a tramp?

Gee, I really love what Halloween has turned into.

There is a line in Mean Girls that said it best:

"In girl world, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."

So true, so GROSS.

How I love the innocence of children

As most of you know, I babysit sit almost every Saturday night.  I love these boys.  So cute, sweet, well behaved, and very grown-up for their age.  Tonight we were driving back to their house after a Red Robin dinner (their favorite and I hate it).  

Jack (age 7) asked me if I know who I am going to vote for.  I lied and said I didn't know.  (I am not sure why i didn't tell him, something old about talking politics with a 2nd grader seems odd) 

Anyway, he told me if he could vote, he would vote for McCain.  His 5 year old brother agreed.   I asked why, and the 5 year old, Adam, said because he has known McCain longer, since 07. (seriously he said that)  Then said "Bama (haha cute) hasn't been around until just now."  

Jack said, "McCain is really old though."  

Adam answered back with, "even though he is old I would still vote for him.  Age doesn't matter"  Remember Adam is 5.  

Jack then asked, "if McCain wins will he be the oldest man as president ever?"  

I am really not sure, I told him.   I am impressed with our very intellectual after dinner conversation and made the statement that if Obama wins, He would be the first black president.   The car sat quiet for a minute then, Jack says "What do you mean?  Like with a tan?"
