Cosmetology.

I went into this profession for a number of reasons. Overall, I love my job. I love meeting good people, and I like being able to be creative. I love the girls I work with... and it's safe! Usually.
Not so safe this last Monday though. I wish parents would understand that the fact that childrens haircuts are cheaper really is just a charity type thing. In all reality children take longer to do, they move, you have to repeat yourself 289720398 times, the can't "look down" (they always have to be looking in the mirror, though I'll admit sometimes adults struggle with this too :P), they get impatient, wine, and when they do this mostly when their parents aren't watching. So, in all reality, I should be charging $30 for kids haircuts, not &10-$15. Anyway, I was cutting a little girls hair on Monday, within about 15 minutes she was ready to be DONE! I'd tell her to look down and she'd put her ear on her shoulder... seriously, trying to cut a straight line when your ear is on your shoulder is NOT an easy talk. Oh, and she was sick. Like runny nose, red eyes, tired... this poor girl just looked miserable. So, I was rushing. Wanted to get her done and I didn't want to get sick. So, I had maybe three more cuts to do, and wouldn't ya know that I cut myself. Deep. At first it didn't bleed. Then out of nowhere my blood was having a contest to see how far each shot could go... I really wasn't sure if I was gonna get it to stop bleeding to finish her hair.
But I did. I wrapped napkins and a couple band-aids as tight as they'd go.
This was about a half an hour after I did it. Still bleeding.


 

And this was last night... looking better. Still the worse cut I've had.


Ben's birthday was yesterday. 29th. Poor guy... lol jk! I've got more details I'll post soon. And updates on the wedding planning. :)
