I've been thinking about this for a while, and now it's going to be official. I am moving away from LJ. I'm just not feeling it here any longer and I'm ready to try something new. I'll always cherish the times we've had together. I may even try to export my LJ stuff out of here to the new blog...which, btw is here ( Read more... )

October is notoriously slow in the salon biz. All the stylists at work are complaining about their slow schedules. Today I had nothing, absolutely nothing on the books. Drag! And not the fun kind, either.  Tomorrow, at least, I have some people coming in ( Read more... )

 Hello Autumn.
It's nice to see you. We sort of thought you stopped by for a bit in August, which was a nasty surprise, by the way. Don't do that again.

I am in a much more Autumn friendly mood after our trip to North Carolina last week. It was so beautiful there! When we left, it was in the 80's, not too humid, blue sky and a breeze. Aaaaahhhhhh ( Read more... )

It was a story written about Bailey and this Indian elephant he bought and brought to the states. he paraded it around the country until someone who didn't think people should have to pay to look at unusual animals ( Read more... )

Here in the Pacific Northwest, if you don't like to hike in the rain, you probably won't hike at all.  And we are having a really crappy spring so far. It's been cold and rainy most of the time. Today was partly sunny all day...until we got out into the middle of Banner Forest. Then it started pouring rain!  Just one of those things. Luckily, we've ( Read more... )

 It feels like Tuesday today. I like to think of it as Saturday. My first day of work each week is Wednesday...I only work four days a week - lucky me. But all day I've had to remind myself that i *don't* have to go to work tomorrow. Hurray ( Read more... )

 Four days now of steady headache....and I just realized that it may be from not having any caffeine. Drat!! I really didn't think I was all THAT addicted to it! Dammit! But my head is *killing* me. That's the only thing I can think of. I guess I'll have to have coffee tomorrow ( Read more... )
