ok so that's it. in two weeks i will no longer be doing hair. i am now an employee of wells fargo bank doing collections. not a glamorous job, but i will be making 2.50 more an hour and after im there for a month i will get full benefits. which is major. seeing as how i dont think ive been to the dentist in over 10 years, except when i got my wisdom tooth pulled.

im excited, scared and sad.
excited to make more money, work with my cousin and have a full time job, and save up for our wedding.
scared because this is a big change for me. this is me stepping out of my comfort zone.
and sad because i like the people i work with a lot. i jsut dont make enough and wanna go back to school to teach. so its a waste of time to build a clientele when this isnt what i wanna do forever.

so feb. 19 starts a new chapter in my life.
please tell me it's gonna be ok.

im engaged. and totally stoked on it.

it's fucking snowing... bad ass.. god i love it.. and it just keeps dumping... i hope this never ends.

so i interviewed for a new job today. it's for a receptionist position at a brow bar. which im really excited about. i love hair don't get me wrong but it is certainly not my passion. as Shawn knows, in January i will be filling out fafsa and pell grant applications to become a school teacher. now i know its not some huge wonderful high paying job..... but i love kids! and money is not the issue for me. Steven has a great job and we will in no way be struggling. so i guess just wish me luck! ( i am a little nervous, it has been awhile since i was in school.)

did i mention we bought a house?!?!?!

finalllly settling into the house. come have a drink on the deck.. well once the sun comes out. parrrty time.

radiohead tickets are purchased!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im soooooooooooo excited!!!!!!! sorry about all of the exclamation points.. but as you can see im ecstatic! fave band ever! totally worth the 3.5 hour drive and being exhausted at work on thursday! i dont know if i can wait till august! i might explode!

oregon has such a huge meth problem.. they have put a 30 minute special on every non-cable channel about the effects and cons of meth. even if the guide on the tv says "everybody loves raymond" its still the meth show. which is most appropriately named..... dark crystal... are you fucking kidding me!?!?!? get me out of here. hahaha

i just wish this day would be over alredy. im going to bed. goodnight.

im changing my hair color.. i know that doesn't mean much. cuz i do it all the time but ive been here forever! i didn't want black anymore. which is a pain in the ass to remove.. thank god i don't have to pay for it. but im excited!!!
