Where have you been?

Since my last post:

1.) I've turned 26 (August 9th)
2.) Had a re-tightening by my new consultant (Vicky)
3.) Moved to Raleigh

In the midst of all of that, I've still been throwing Slumber Parties.

I also took a paycut (for a few weeks).

I could be pessimistic and look at the glass as half empty.

However, I am not that type of girl.

I feel so blessed because despite the economy and it's impact on everything (including the pharmaceutical industry), I still am able to work.

Even though I took a 25% paycut until further notice....I still have all of my benefits and Slumber Parties. Not to mention being able to work 6 hours on Thursday and having every Friday off.

Woo Hoo..

Is that the best schedule ever or what?

I've been pushed, pulled, taken for granted and just plain ole' lost and confused. However, I think everything is finally falling into place by the grace of the man above.

Sometimes timing is so impeccable.

I am feeling that so much right now. Music can get you through anything.

Ms. Vicky (my new consultant) is a very beautiful sister. I just looooove her hair. She's fast too. This was my first 7-8 week stretch without a re-tighten and she only took 3.5 hours (compared to 4 on a six week schedule). I'm getting goose-pimples just imagining how short my re-tightening will be with Ms. Vicky once I get back on the 6 week schedule.

And get a load of this, she lives 25 minutes away from my new place. (you can't beat that with a stick) From a 3.5 hour drive / 4 hour re-tighten to a 25 min drive and a much faster re-tighten.

Everything is just working out.

PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW....

It was bittersweet I tell ya..

My hair was yelling, "You can't leave her now....we're just getting started?"

But, my pockets were screaming, "Thank God we don't have to drive that far anymore. We bout 2 go broke. Do you know how much gas you burning just to get your hair done?".

What's done is done.

To be completely honest. She sorta made me more hesitant than anything. Frightening me with Sisterlocks Horror Stories (in a "throw a rock, then hide your hands behind your back" kinda way). I was tempted to say, "okay, I'll stay". However, in addition to an already pricey $750 gas bill / month, I think it's safe to say that I should at least give this new consultant a try.

Aside from driving 1.5 hours (each way) to work mon-fri. I have to get my lethargic body up at the wee hours of SATURDAY morning for a 3.5 hour drive (each way!!!) just to maintain my lovely hair every 6 weeks.

Something's Gotta Give.

Anywho...I'm going to miss my consultant. She was a very nice woman.

It's time for me to prioritize.

Like Katt Williams said, "You know it's bad when we're at the gas pump making life decisions like, Did I eat today?"
