I had really hoped that I could keep up with my blog through school. But that's proving to be a challenge with everything else I'm doing. I know, school and housewife,... rough. But lately there are days I come home and am just so exhausted! I'm still enjoying school though. I'm constantly looking forward towards graduation.
Yesterday we had a girl graduate. She was a prior nail tech. She had gone through the nail tech program, and worked for a solid year, then returned for cosmetology school. Crazy huh?? I was sorry to see her go. She was really sweet, and so very helpful! I had hoped to pick her brain even more so while I had the chance.
Also yesterday,... I did my first full set of tips on a CLIENT. It's one thing to do them on another student, but a client is to me a true test. I've done a couple sets on students,... however, the two I've done them on, don't even TRY to take care of them. Put them on Saturday afternoon, but Tuesday they've pulled them all off. Bleh.
So, this gal that came in, was getting the WORKS! she wanted pedicure, manicure, hair colored and high lighted!!! While they put the color on her hair, I did her pedicure,... then got set up for her tips. Did the cuticle care and such,... got the tips sized,... took a break and got food. Returned and started prepping her nails for the tips. I screwed up a few times on steps,... but quickly corrected. I wasn't sure about 2 of the nails, but the rest looked really good. I had a couple comments by girls that would walk by, saying they looked really good. One compliment was from an instructor :o) Made me feel good. The client wasn't able to get her highlights done yesterday, so will return this morning. She was happy with her nails when she left, I can only hope she'll still be happy when she returns today. I told her I didn't mind constructive criticism and that if she had any problems to tell me so I can fix it. We'll see how that goes huh??
Had a GREAT weekend this past weekend. Got home from school Friday afternoon and opened the kitchen door (leads to the garage) and this big cloud of garlic wrapped around me :o) Mmmmm!!! Cousin CC was over fixing us dinner!!! We had so much fun!!!! Jessica helped cook, when Gina and family showed up Hannah helped out too. Seemed I had to run an errand or something? but I can't recall for sure. It did seem I got out of a LOT of helping LOL CC stayed the night that night,... got to sleep in Sydney's bed since Sydney was staying the night with a friend and going to a fair the next day. I got up to go to school,... house was pretty quiet,... did what I had to do and left. When I got home,.... we were missing 2 more kids. Jessica and her friend went to town to see a movie. I was SOOO worried about that. Her friend had been driving on a permit for a long time, and now had her license. Her friend is a good girl, but I was still paranoia momma. They both had a good time though :o) I'm glad they were able to go and do something fun like that. I had Jessica text me at every stop and when she was back to her friends for the night. Geoffery had gone with his Grams to the chili cook off in town,.... and later he called asking to stay the night!!! So,... we were kid free. At least until after 5pm when Sydney would return. Hubby and I ran to the gas station,... he was dying for a coffee Monster... then we went to Subway and got dinner for he and I and Sydney. Went back home and vegged watching some tv. I enjoyed that day a lot :o) Then CC came over later,... with a present for Jessica!!! She had asked prior,... but wanted to get her a new mattress because the one she had sucked. It was something I had hoped to buy for her once I was working,.. but this was SO SO sweet of Aunt C. She got a queen, so it's larger than her box spring and all LOL We all flopped down on it to try it out :o) OMG so much nicer!!!!! We made it up and hoped that Jess wouldn't notice right away. Later we watched a movie and LAUGHED our butts off. Bridesmaids was the movie. Totally awesome!!! Watched some LA Ink on Netflix,... then I went to bed around midnight. That's LATE for me. Sunday I was up by 7 and had the dogs outside,.... CC again stayed the night, and tried out Jessica's new bed :o) LOL She said it slept GREAT!!!! She remade the bed sloppily so that it looked sorta like before,... I couldn't WAIT for Jess to come home and see and try it out too!!!
CC was up about 7:30ish and headed to Gina's by 8am. We had plans to go to the drag strip in Paragould. I woke Chris at 9:30 who forgot we were even going ROFL He got up and got ready and we waited on Geoff to get home and had him ready,... then took off for Gina's and headed over to the strip. They had a car show going on, plus the drag strip was pretty active. Was a fun fun day :o) Came home and cleaned up a bit .... even had a short cat nap before everyone came over and we grilled up some burgers for dinner and watched the race. Err.... Gina and CC grilled up the burgers for us,... I was booted out of my kitchen!!! LOL
All in all it was a very busy and FUN weekend. Not sure what's in store for this weekend,... but am hoping the weather holds out and we can grill for Sunday at least!!!
Best shove off and get a little more study time in, I've got a test today. Last 3 tests I've aced!! I hope to do the same this test.
