Hair dresser dilemmas

After dumping my hair guy in Winston last year I found a new girl, Katie. Awesome, wonderful, love her. We talk about how we aren't ready for kids and she is basically the red headed version of myself. Today, I asked what was new, and she gave me a weird look, "shoot, she's pregnant." I thought. What came next was worse. "We're moving, to Atlanta."  Bah! Just my luck. I have one year left here before we move, I was expecting to have to go through this in Florida, not here.  Rats. 

Found it! I think...

I've been looking for places to sell my jewelry and after a disappointing show this weekend I resorted to Craigslist. A place called Sassy and Classy boutique in Winston-Salem walking for artists for her shop. Starting Saturday the 13th, I will have some of my items here https://m.facebook.com/pages/Sassy-Classy-A-Trendy-Boutique/148991961798610?id=148991961798610&_rdr

Layers of Style

Have you been noticing people wearing several necklaces at once? The problem is, they are often sold together and many times, at least one of the necklaces looks really cheap. So my newest creations is called Layers of Style, each piece can be worn individually or with one or two more pieces. Since they are all made by me, I have kept the chain the same to streamline the design and the lengths of each length the same (shorts are all 18", medium are all 23" and the longs are 28") regardless of style. I am working to photograph different style options combinations. The longs get kind of tricky as they only show well on someone so I need to get some nice wether and my husband and get some pictures of all the great long necklaces I have!

Forsyth ER

So I thought my next post would be about my new line of necklaces I am really excited about. Unfortunately, making jewelry might be on hold. I wrapped my finger up in a chain on the polishing wheel at work an am sitting and waiting in the ER to see if is broken. Fail. It hurts like a beast! But as painful as this was, the jokes tomorrow might be more cruel. Second week and already a workman's comp issue. Awesome :/.

Tomorrow is Another Day... Sorta...

Tomorrow I start my new career with the repair shop at Jared, I am excited,  I know in my heart, I have made the right choice in leaving teaching, at least for now.  It is weird to not be a teacher tomorrow but to know when I leave work tomorrow, it all stays there.  No lesson plans to write, papers to grade, if I take work home from Jared's, it is called stealing. :)

Summer is Here!

No more students until August! To celebrate, I am offering 20% everything on my Etsy site just enter coupon code summer20 at the checkout. Happy shopping!

The Friend's Menu

There are different friends that you call for different reasons, when we are in the fragile emotional states, you need to decide who to call. It is like choosing food from a menu where love all of it but you need to figure out what would be the best thing for you at that moment.

Sometimes, when you are really pissed off, you need to call a friend to get pissed off with you. It is a bonus if they get even more mad then you and take the anger to another level where you can say, "Yes, I am mad, but now we are being ridiculous." Once you realize this, you can dial it back a bit to find that perfect amount of anger and frustration for the situation.

Other times you just need a friend to cry to and you need to feel better you call someone you know will make you feel better. One friend, I have, read me letters I wrote to him over ten years ago. It was amazing that he had saved them and it reminded me of simpler times.

When you are entirely overwhelmed with a situation you are too close to, you call the friend that tells you how to feel. One time an ex I hadn't spoken to in almost a year sent me a picture message on my birthday, I opened it, thinking it was a birthday wish, to find it was a picture of a girl's left hand with a ring on her finger. We hadn't talked in years, I didn't even know this girl's name. I felt like I had been involved in a drive-by-shooting but really, it was a drive-by-text. I called friend # 3 and she was just the right amount of angry for the both of us.

All of the friend's a great, if you order the wrong one, you can pretend you are getting another call and order someone else. :)
