i’m redecorating my room and i quite like it.
i spent most of yesterday in town and that always makes me a happier person. Not that King George is all that bad but…well, you just have to live here to understand i think. I got up early and did my hair, or rather tamed the afro from the perm-gone-wrong. Then i drove to the shop and met Jessica there for her hair appointment. I like working at the shop a whole lot, but i like it a whole lot MORE when I’m by myself, mostly because i can use whichever chair i want AND i can change the horribly repetitive (well, to me, because i hear it every day) music. So, i cut Jessica’s hair to Derek Webb, Shane&Shane, Maná, and Juanes. I love it when people come into the shop and want something bold done. I don’t mind doing the “letsjusttakeaninchoff” hair cuts, but when the customer is willing to take a risk and trusts you enough to do it to them, it’s so much fun.
Jessica's gorgeous hair before she's off to England!.
i’ve discovered i’m a very artsy person…who can’t draw or paint. So i’m left with things like cosmetology, guitar, interior design and photography to channel the artisan inside of me. After that, i went to Walmart and bought some stuff i needed for the re-decoration of my room. A diner wall clock, a dry erase board, two picture frames, some thumb tacks, black paint, oh what fun : ). Then i headed over to Lifeway to buy Seth’s birthday gift–John Piper’s Don’t Waste Your Life. As i was looking for it, i met Mr. Richards, who oddly enough, was buying me a book to give me when school started. “Jesus For President” by Shaine Claiborne. Just started it, all i can say as of now is “what a montage…”Either way, it was very good to see him. i might be taking pictures for the drama club. I sure hope so, might as well put my camera to use, eh? Also, we’re doing the Grapes of Wrath this year in drama club. THAT’S exciting. After chatting for a while, i went to Guitar Center and bought a guitar stand for my baby. Then back to the shop to do Seth’s hair. I love highlights. I love LOTS of highlights. That’s why i’m thankful for semi-religious customers like Seth who like them as much as i do
check those babies out.
So, i spent about three hours on Seth’s hair, re-highlighting the re-growth and cutting it a lot shorter for marching band season. We talked about “real” friends and i think there’s more truth into that funny conversation then i had once thought. We listened to…the name has escaped me, but it was pretty much a Spanish rap musical. And Seth brought it. And likes it. AND danced to it. And asked me what two Spanish words meant. If that’s not proof of how much he’s changed this summer, then you’re just asking too much. And the final product…
ta-da.
And that’s the story of yesterday.
