I got nuthin to share folks.
Nuthin’ positive and nice.
I did three mens cuts today. total. flop.
I’m brokeass mountain. Depositing tips in daily at this point.
I have one eyebrow wax on my book tomorrow. 16 bucks.
I’m fighting the ridiculous hormone battle this week and just want to sleep.
tired. tired. tired.

I did, however, put up my blow up jack o lantern with black kitty on top that looks way cool in my yard.

that was a positive.

oh. and I stole this site from Kizz today. And am TOTALLY doing it this weekend at my Parade and Pumpkins event! That’s gonna be a blast. Halloween parade downtown, then my house back yard for a fire in the chiminea and pumpkin carving!!!

that’s positive too.

maybe I’m just tired.

is 9:33 too early to go to bed?

so I finished my list…all but the vacuuming. I spilled all the smelly stuff on the carpet and then, in my halfwit brain, decided to clean out the filter on the Dyson. . . it’s still drying as I type. Canna put bits back in damp. Gah. Ok, so whatever. I’m clean, for the most part my house is clean. I don’t forsee any major ridiculous this week to dirty it all up so it, in theory, should stay clean for next weekend.

Heading out to comedy tonight. JoeThinksforhimself is getting his NYC present tonight. FINALLY. That’s my real excitement for the evening! I love giving gifts!

Anyways, thought I’d let you know that even in the midst of being productive, I seem to find ways to sabotage myself! HA!

I have slept almost consistently for the last 48 hours. It was a hard week of working, staying out past my bedtime, Fall Festing with the family and friends…FLOP.

Fall Fest was great. There really is nothing better than congregating around an open fire with friends and roasting things on sticks. Better than anything! So that was good.

We took family photos outside before things got started. You guys, I cannot WAIT to see them. We were under a big tree, by the creek, with the sun behind us, it was gorgeous! We’ll see the proofs later this week.

So today, after sleeping all of yesterday (seriously, got up at noon ran an errand or two, napped from 3 till 6, then watched tv till around 9 then fell asleep again on the couch and woke up at 3am and went to the bed) today consists of laundry, housecleaning, grocery shopping, oil change in the car, watching season one of Weeds…lots to be done.

Happy Monday, ya’ll. Huzzuah and Halakaleem!

Remember yesterday when I said, “yesterday almost killed me?” I was mistaken. Today’s yesterday almost killed me. Good LORD but I’m tired.

I went in around 10 and mercy but there were a lot of girls that came in early on a Thursday. Pretty sure that’s called a support group. They, most of them, didn’t have to be there till noon, but came in for The Pilot’s appointment. Curiousity and Support, great combo.

So he came in…and kids. it was like Joe Cool Snoopy vs. Snoopy Red Barron. Like Odie vs. Garfield. Like Ralph Mouth vs The Fonz.

guess which one I was?

heh heh heh.

He did give me a good compliment, and the stunned look on his face when he saw me was pretty much priceless. And when I asked him if he was lost, what was he doing here, he explained his absence away with the fact that he’d gone back to his military barber along with his son. ok. whatever. There were many other little bits that he threw out there that lead me to believe that he is no longer in a relationship. He kept trying to get bits out of me and I just kind of sealed that vault immediately. You don’t get to have that. Which I actually told him on one part of our conversation. He did ask about the NYC trip, and remembered DETAILS from last years. DETAILS as to the show I saw, the place I ate…who’s the stalker wierdo?

After he checked out, he just kept talking. Moved me over to the side and started another conversation about our NBA team. He bought season tickets. I don’t reallly know what it means other than he’s going to be supporting.

He still looks reeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy good. It’s a shame really. He’s too pretty. One time at one of my dad’s work parties out at this big country house, my mom told me these words. “don’t ever date a man that good looking.” I can’t remember the rest, but it lead to the “you can’t trust him to be faithful” kind of thread.

Not that I have dated ugly guys. Nor do I think it scarred me for life. However, that bit of advice has always been with me, and I think, has been why I always look a little deeper, and go for intelligence and humor and friendship. (not that I’m looking for humpback midgets, or anything…I’m just sayin.)

SO. Point is. I’m Joe Cool-0 Fonzie-1

Went down to Norman to comedy last night. Actually got to hang out with sweet little Amanda. She’s the daughter of one of my professors from college. Girl is all grown up and adult now. But still exactly the same which is beautiful. When I picked her up, I did a double check, “you are 21, right?”

“uhhh. Zelda. I’m 26.”

stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. ever.

Tonight is painting at MGirl’s new pad, prepping for her moving day tomorrow. So much going on. Fall Fest tomorrow night. Perfect weather for it. Chrome’s party tonight, which I will be attending in spirit. It’s another weekend chock full of fabulous! Hope yours is, too.

Huzzuah and Halakaleem!

Yesterday almost killed me. We had class in the morning and learned a new haircut that is awesome. Then to work till 8. Now, I only did three clients. But the first two, were perms. On hair that was almost below the bra strap. Asian hair. Back to back perms.

It was fine, they were the most beautiful perms I’ve ever done. The girls were on the fence as to if they liked them or not. NO one remembers that in totally changing the actual bonds of the hair fiber, we have made it extremely fragile. No shampooing/conditioning for two days. 48 hours. (Legally Blonde anyone?) The first girl gets up and immediately pulls it back into a tight pony tail. Pulls the curl right out of the top. Her sister, the second client was just freaking out and needy and had all of these short layers in her crown that kept springing out like a roosters and took about a million end papers per rod. GAH. It was hard. and I don’t care if they hate it. it was gorgeous.

and I made commission.

I was keeping track of the commission and the rest of the week when I looked at my book for today. I hardly ever do that, look ahead for the week, just chance that I did yesterday. I saw the first appointment on my book today at 10:30 and saw that holy freakin hell, The Pilot returns.

Pilot was a flirty little texting thing that HE started last summer after I left Ex-Him. I stress that he started it because I’m so freaked about making things up in my head that aren’t there. See This Post. Anyways, there was just flirty texting. Nothing big. and one night we were talking and he says, “I’m at my girlfriends house in Houston. You’d better not text me anymore.”

like I’M THE STALKER FREAK!! Gah. gross. That was a year ago, give or take. and all of a sudden, here he is this morning. My last client, one of my FAVORITES came in for cut and color and she has been a major source of support this last year and she, bless her heart, wants me to really do something wack to his hair. carve my initials in his hairline or some such. Bwa ha ha ha ha. If only I was even an nth that angry! Or anything emotional about it.

Twill be interesting. This isn’t the same fragile ninny that he knew last year. Hell no it’s not! I’m sure the details of our appointment will be less scintillating than I’m making it out to be, but I’ll keep you updated nonetheless.

I found a new book last night.

Cue universal groan at my lack of will power against buying books.

It’s by Rob Bell. I think I’ve talked about him before. The redhead turned me on to him and I’ve been a fan ever since. He has a new one out and when I saw that, I jumped up from the big green chair, found shoes that matched (not on the first try however) and ran to the B&N and bought the last two copies. Immediately drove his copy over to him looking like twelve miles of dirt road. ROUGH is not even close. But whatever. Hung on the comfy couch for about a half hour then came home before I fell asleep at his house. Now. That would have been embarrassing. Anyways, my point, and I do have one is this. I came home and finished reading Ruby Sunrise for my play committee. I heart this story. and then fell asleep. Woke right up around 2am and tossed for an hour then got up and got online for awhile then read the new book for awhile then apparently I fell back asleep.

I hate not sleeping. Especially when I’m so tired. makes me put on cranky pants that give wedgies.

But I don’t have to go in till around 10 today, so I have a few extra minutes in the morning and that has made all the difference.

19 days till the election. Early and Often people. Early and Often.

happy happy day!

Gert, my bf for a quarter of a century,is another year wiser today.Turns out, my new friend Seth is as well. Gotta love me some Libras! (and both are veg!) Gert is here, local, and Seth is in NYC, being a funny funny man.

Here’s to you both, today. You make my life fuller, livelier, richer, and infinitely funnier. Here’s a little cyber party for both of ya. It’s a mix of both your likes! BTW, that chocolate cake is vegan!

getting ready for the party!

A few snacks and slurps…

a little funny ha ha!

a little music…

and me. I’m here at your party. laughing my ass off and something both of you just said
Happy Birthday Kids! I hope today brings you as much joy and you give to everyone else! Muah!!!

Yes. I will say it again. We’re Number One!!!

Not many people shouting this phrase this weekend…tragic Red River Rivalry.

Nope, I’m talking about Oklahoma being number 1 in the CHEAPEST GASOLINE! The Today show just said we are at 2.65 or somewhere in that area. BUT the 7-11 around the block from my house has it at 2.49. not to bad!

yes, 7-11 has has the alcohol in it, so it’s bad for your cars. It’s always the cheapest here in OKC. The good news is, if it’s that cheap there, the other places are almost affordable this week!!!

It’s rainy. It’s cold. It’s going to clear up for Fall Fest. I wish everyone a great day. Kizz, feel better babe. Chrome…post those photos! (she did a super-extra-happy-project at her home this weekend and I’m DYING for everyone to see it!!!)

that the stuff Kizz posted are the rest of my headshots and stuff from our trip to NYC?

Now, go have a look and come back and tell me which ones you like best.

focus on face. and possibly black and white face.
