Daydream

What is a dream? A dream is something we do while we sleep. According to wikipedia it is a succession of thoughts, images, sounds or emotions which the mind experiences while we sleep. Where do they come from and why do we dream the things we dream? I don't like ALL of my dreams......some are bad. My DAYDREAMS on the other had are wonderful. A daydream is merely a visionary fantasy experienced while you are awake especially one of happy, pleasant thoughts or hopes. My "daydream" that I had when I first turned 18 is not what really happened. I had my life all planned out. God had a different plan, I am still trying to figure out why. I had it all figured out. Get out of cosmetology school, save some money and get the hell out of Fayetteville. I don't think this place is miserable, but it's not for me. I needed a fresh start. I didn't know where I was going......I just knew that I wanted to go away, far far away. I don't know how well that would have worked out because, 9 times out of 10 I was going to be with my mom. We are close. Not like we use to be. I am not the kind to tell my mom EVERYTHING. Believe me, if she knew some stuff, she would shit a brick. No I never used drugs and I wasn't drunk every weekend, and I wasn't a whore.........I just can't go into detail. Trust me, it's nothing too crazy. Sorry, I've gone off track. Hmmmm...........where would I have gone? Perhaps to the beach? I don't know who I would have gone with. I would have just gone away. I am going to breakdown the exact plan: I graduated High school in May 05. Turned 18 and started cosmetology school June 05 and told myself that I WOULD NOT have a serious boyfriend and get my shit together and get out of school. December of 05 my mother convinced (well forced) me to go to a bar (sounds crazy right?). She forced me to the bar to watch my dads band play. Okay, I could care less about Lynard Skynard. I don't care how fantastic they are.......I DONT CARE! The only way I would have been happy about being there is if Backstreet Boys were going to be there, I would have been first in line. My crazy ass probably would have called the bar and begged to help set up for free. But anyways, I was there, watching my dad's band play (plus other musicians) I pretty much had a attitude that evening. Then I turn around, and guess who is leaning on the wall like a "cool guy"? You guessed it Shawn. So, he eventually approached me and got my number (I am making a long story short). I hoped he wouldn't call, because of the plan. Well he did, and now we are married, and we own a house. No kids yet. I do love him. But now I sit back and think.....what happened to my daydream? Did I make a mistake? I don't think I did, I wouldn't trade my husband, but I still wonder what would have happened..........I have taken into consideration my daydreams can be far fetched.............I have to come back in the real world and grow up.....some grow up faster than others.....

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

We have all herd things about our horoscope. Weather it's good or bad, sometimes it is true. I was lucky enough to be a Gemini! Over the years I have read my horoscope to see if it was true or not. Sometimes it was, sometimes it wasn't. Here are some random facts about Gemini's and I will let you know if I agree or if it pertains to me.

--Talk, Talk, Talk (Yes! I do like to talk, a lot. So does my mom and brother. Mom is a Libra and my brother is a Cancer)
--Your motto: I believe anything (I am pretty gullible, but not as bad as I use to be.)
--Nobody understands you. (No one understands me because I talk fast)
--Great at multi tasking. (Sometimes. I am scatter brained. LOL)
--Aren't confused by facts. (It doesn't take much to make me confused.)
--Make a great friend. (I hope so)
--Love new stuff. (Yep)
--Really funny. (I hope so, lol)
--You never sit still. (Very True)
--Energetic (at times I am super calm and at times I am super hyper)
--Nervous and Tense (YES! I get anxious so easy)
--Untidy (No comment, lol. I am always picking up behind myself.)
--Easily bored. (Yes)

Happiness

This past week, I went by the Belk Salon, where I USE to work, to see how everyone was doing. Heather was at the front desk, so I just stood and talked to her, while everyone else had a client. We chit chatted about how things were going at the Belk Salon and how things were going at my new job and just the normal stuff. She told me I seemed much happier. I always tried to be happy, and make the best of situation, but she was right. I am happier. My life is not as stressful! Every since I have been at my new job, I have been less stressed about a few things. For one, I don't stress about what kind of mood my manager will be in when I get to work, and I am making more money.....well tips at least. I haven't gotten a full pay check from my new job yet.....but I can tell you I am far from being rich. If I never be rich that will be fine with me. Just as long as I can be happy with what I have. Happiness is what we make it...no matter what the situation is. Weather it's your job, your house or your relationships. Sometimes the smallest changes can make the biggest differences. I am so glad I did not give up on doing hair. I wish everyone could be happy.

FREEDOM!

Hey guys! People have been asking me why I quit my job. If you have worked at the Belk Salon you could understand why I quit. Though I do miss all of the stylist, it was difficult working with the manager and with the money I made there it wasn't worth putting up with her. I liked her as a person but not as a boss. On top of that, the money wasn't good. You would think since they were so expensive I would make money, but I didn't. At first I did, but after a while things slowed down. I also did not get to spend enough time with my husband, Shawn. I always had to work when he was off. I was not expecting to get the job at Master Cuts. I was actually planning on taking a teller course at FTCC in March. One evening I put in a application for Master Cuts in on the internet, then I forgot all about it, then a couple of weeks later, they called me to set up a interview....So I had a interview on Thursday, quit my job Saturday and started the new job Monday. At the Belk Salon it always felt like I was walking on egg shells. So, as far as my new job, so far so good!!

At the Belk Salon & Spa, we offer several types of services, including, women's and men's cuts, color, perms, spa services as well as a chemistry shot. A chemistry shot is a customized deep conditioning treatment that is great for distressed/dry hair. Distressed hair is weakend hair that has been physically changed in some way.

Random Facts About Me!

So, we all know that I am a random person, so I will share some more random facts about me!! I ran out of things to talk about so I have to google things. Imagine that, I ran out of things to talk about....lol!!

1. The story of my most serious injury- Well, I have a very low pain tolerance, so it is very easy for me to get hurt. I've been on crutches two different times and got stitches. The time I got stitches, I was fairly young, I was about six or seven. I was down the street at my neighbor Kyle and Jordan's house, (they are brother's, Kyle is the oldest). Kyle told Jordan to pitch some baseballs to him so he could try to hit them, well in the process Kyle kept telling me to move, but I wasn't paying attention and he thought I was. As soon as I turned around and he swung at the same time and hit me in the four head. So, he walked me home, and my mom took me to the hospital. Then I fell down stairs twice and sprained both of my ankles. Not fun!
2. The person I admire most- My mom obviously! I have to admire her, I'm her mini me...lol..I hear that all of the time!
3. If I had a super power- I would want to be able to hear peoples thoughts. That would be pretty awesome!!
4. If this celebrity knocked on my door, I would run away with them- Okay people lets get one thing straight! I would NOT run away with Nick or Aaron Carter, unless I wasn't with Shawn, and a lot skinnier! It would be tempting. I would probably stalk them till they leave town though.......lol....
5. Why I care about celebrities- I think I care about celebrities, because I have no life! I just care about certain ones though!


I think that is enough random facts for the day!! Hope you enjoyed it!

The dictionary from the south

I was trying to find something to blog about, and I have ran out of ideas, so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I have had people in the past not be able to understand what I am saying because of my accent, and I talk fast, which is okay...I guess. If you can't understand me please just tell me to slow down and pronounce my words more clearly. I know I am also bad about "making up words". I don't think it's "made up" if other people from the south understand. Here is a mini dictionary of some of the words you may hear in the south!

A- a prefix added to the present to make it sound prettier. "Abe's a-workin in backer today; Ma's a-talikin to you son!!"
Agonna- This word is future tense! "I'm agonna get you if you dont quit messing with my dog"
Backer- A large cultivated weed you can smoke legally. (Southerns don't get all excited about the syllable in front of the accented one)
Bless your heart- a nice expletive expressing approval or encouragement.
Bob War- A twisted wire studded with barbs. Usage- "Boy, stay away from that bob war fence!"
Bobby Q- A delicious meat dish made from pulled pork roasted over hickory wood and doused with red pepper boiled in vinegar.
Booger- Nose stuffing, or a rascal. "Come here you little booger!"
Britches- Anything worn over the legs, pants or overalls.
Caint- Can not
Coon- Racoon
Holler- Yell or talk at the top of your voice.
Purty- another word for pretty.
Sugar- another way of asking for kisses, "come over here and give me some sugar!"
Tawk- a way of communicating by using words.
Yall- the plural of you.

Hope you enjoyed my blog!! Let me know if I missed any words!!!
