a week and a half

Well it is a week and a half till i graduate.. wow.. does that not blow my mind.. I took my mock state boards last tuesday.. I did ok. not great.. but I know some of the things i did wrong so .. I hope that I can correct that.. That of course was the practical part.. The theory part .. well lets say, was not as good as I expected.. However,. I was told that the test given in mock boards is harder then the actual test.. so i was encouraged.. I think I will do fine..

Its been one heck of a year.. I have learned so much.. I was sitting here tonight looking at my nails.. they are pretty good. i did them of course.. the ones i did they day i started were horrible. I was horrible at nails.. Now.. I think I am good enough to charge.. YAY! thats a plus..

I love what I am doing.. I volintered to do the makeup at a runway show for St Judes hosipital. got some great pics.. I think I did really good.. Chaz the Salon owner liked my work.. I liked him also .. I think he is a very talented Stylist and we will be hearing about him in the world of beauty in the near future.

I am kinda disappointed in myself though.. I had big plans to blog this last year so much my devolopment and everything.. It just didnt happen.. I was not in a state of mind that I could be in the place I needed to be to do that.. Now I can the cause of my problem is gone.. Life has been so much better in the last month.. I am now off and running. look out world Sioux is here and I am here to stay!

yours forever Sioux

Mock statboards

I have Mock state boards at school today. if you dont know what that means.. its a practice run for state boards to get my cosmetology license.. its probally an all day thing .. I am packed and ready.. I think I'm ready for this.. I graduate in 2 wks.. which means.. If i am not ready .. I have to get ready... Atleast I have one less stress to deal with .. that is the end of my 7 yr relationship.. it was a hard desision to make but in the end was the right one. It just wasnt a good place for me to be in ..

Of course a major stress was the passing of my dad in December. Also my mom getting sicker..
The Kids are grown now.. So basically its time for me to be where I want to be.. In life physically and mentally..

I really want to move to Nashville.. I know that I can make a better living there.. I would be leaving all my friends and atleast part of my family.. I just think it would be in my best interest to do so.. I know that I will start as a assitant or something like that if I do go to Nashville but, hey everyone has to start somewhere

coming to an end..

I have tried to keep postive through this last year.. its been a long hard year.. with school.. and my father passing away 2 wks ago.. I ended a 7 yr reletionship.. that should have ended 6 yrs ago.. or 7 yrs ago .. But now.. I have a about a month of school left .. 1 month to graduate from Arnolds Beauty School.. I am so excited that its this close.. and so sad at the same time.. I love school.. My instructors are the best.. I love them all .. I am also doing my first wedding as a makeup artist, very excited about that forsure

so whats next in my life.. This I know. I will take state boards.. find a job.. live. love, laugh.. take care of my son.. and my daughter.. as much as I can since she lives 2hrs away with her husband..

Where will I live.. This I dont know.. My mother is sick. very sick.. and there is no way that I am leaving her as long as she needs me to be here. So what will happen how will it happen .. I have no idea.. but life will go on.

CityVille on Facebook

This has been one heck of a year.. Now my dad died.. last sunday.. to bizare.. really hasnt sunk in yet.. on the plus side i have one month of school left when i go back.. pretty much took me a year to finish..

Great Month

Its been a great month for me.. I made it to 1000 hours at school.. I went to the Premire Brimingham Hair show weekend of Oct 17,18 2010. this weekend Oct 23, 2010 I did my first runway show.. I did the makeup for so many girls.. regular makeup and airbrushed with the Dinair makeup airbrush. I was told by both the salon owner and the woman that works at the shop that I was the prefered Makup artist. there was only two of us though. I had so much fun.. I cant even tell you how many girls I did.. I was so tired by the end of the day.. It was a good tired though. One like you know you worked all day.. I made a good impression.. thats the best thing. I so hope to work with them again. I love this work.. I live it every day..

wow

its been a long time since i posted aug 4, 2010 it tells me on here.. so much has been going on . but the best thing is i have 900 hours plus at school.. the birmingham hair show is coming up to.. i plan to go.. I should have my student loan by then.. they tell me friday week thats going to be so much fun. i hope anyway.. theres so much to say and i am tired I will make a point of adding more to this later on .. when its not bedtime

Lovin school

I am thankfull that I am not getting so many pedicures in school. its not that I hate them. its just not my fav thing to do.. I mean it is hair school.. so I want to learn more about hair styling which I am . I've been getting a few more hair cuts lately .. which is like the best. I did not have any pedicures last friday .. which made me so happy .. 3 roller sets.. a hair cut and eyebrow tint *same patron for the last two* yesterday i did 2 hair cuts. A woman and her son.. and today.. yes a pedi . but also a hair cut. A man came in with atleast shoulder length hair .. I cut it all off from temple down with a #2 gaurd and then just really short on top.. The man was Happy with it.. so thats excellant.. I am really tired.. I dont know why but im sure it will get better.. when i get myself back in order w/ my meds and all .. but I am still really happy with school.
anyway.. I'm outs for the night.. laters
