That word keeps popping up when I discuss the owner of the shop I am in now... WEIRD! Yes in capital letters WEIRD!

I went into work on Monday and all my shampoo "stuff" at the back bar was GONE. (So was the other lady who also rents her station.) The back bar was cleared off EXCEPT for his shampoos and things.
So as expected I asked "Where did my "stuff" go?", as my customer was climbing into the shampoo chair.
He said" I put it on your shelf in the back room."
I thought this a bit strange (but he is) and asked " For any particular reason?"

Went and looked at a new salon on Saturday. Love the place love the people but the parking sucks. A few years ago they expanded the road in front of this shop and it really cut into their parking. There are about 8 spaces directly in front of the shop which is great, but when it is time to leave you back out right onto the main road. This could be a problem for some people. I do a few older people who have a hard time going forward. To have them have to back out into traffic is kinda scary.
There is a huge empty lot right next door but it is fenced in so no parking there. If they would build something in that lot that would have a nice parking lot then the shop would be an excellent place. I haven't ruled it out completely yet but we will see.

I HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE SHOP I AM IN. I AM GOING CRAZY!!!!

Actually I don't hate my job . . . I just hate WHERE I do my job.

The guy who owns the salon is a very weird character. I now know why he was working all alone in a six station salon. First he promised us several things and now he is saying that we were mistaken. WRONG! We both heard it! But he isn't budging.

So we look for something else. I hate to change AGAIN, and I know that my clients don't really like it either, but I am so unhappy with the situation that I hate going to work. I can not build my clientele because he snags all the walk-in traffic. There is no sense me sitting around when I am not busy if I will not be getting to do any of the walkins. He will make them wait for him even if C and I are not busy.

He is just a very strange bald guy. How can he know anything about hair when he doesn't have any. :)

It may not feel like fall yet in the Valley of the Sun, but it is officially here.

How, you might ask, do I determine this when the autumn leaves have not begun to turn colors and fall off the trees...when the temperatures is still in the triple digits ...

Is a big name for a little baby!

But at least it isn't "Baby to be named later" anymore.

We got to the hospital about noon and met Doug right away. Caren was in the waiting area for the baby operating room.

Doug went back in with Caren and then Taylor and Meg got there. They brought along their "other" grandma and aunt (cause they needed a driver)

Well I am about ready to head out the door to get to the hospital to be there when my sister-in-law goes in for her ceasarean section. Still don't know what the name will be. Hope to have that info this afternoon. Will update you when I get home. Wish her luck.

Well here is the "NEW LOOK"

How do you like it?

I have added a photoblog also and put in a few pic of "the boys", just to see if it worked. It seems to so far. If you see any "boo boo's" let me know.

We had a garage sale this morning.

Up at 5 am (actually 4:15) to get everything out on the carport before the sun came up. All set and ready to go at 6.

My mother in law and I took off to put out the "Yard Sale" signs (we had 8) and would your believe

I got an email from a friend today.

Not an unusual occurance. But this email was quite different from the usual jokes and funny pictures that I usually get from her.

Normally, when I read in the news about an entertainer or famous person dying or having an accident I think to my self, "So sad, that's too bad".

But since I read about Roy Horn's (of Siegfried and Roy) "accident" on Friday, October 4th, I have been haunted! And I am not sure why!

As you might be able to see... I am working on a change. So bear with me.

I was painting my bedroom and bathroom this morning and had the radio blaring. Oldies but goodies!

The song " You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon came on, and I had a flashback!

I am again trying to figure out what I can do with this blog.

I am trying to load a picture here and will see if it works.

I still am not getting email notification when a comment is posted. Gonna have to ask Niki to help me on that. I have done the troubleshooting and all seems to be okay, but no email. :(

Here is my first attempt and adding a picture. Rick calls it "The God Picture" snapped it outside of Fuddrucker's one afternoon.
