Beer + Salsa = Love

For about 12 years now I have run a small business, it has had it ups and downs over the years. When I started it was slow, with long PAINFUL hours of answering phones, and sweeping hair. Then I hit the mother load of all craziness 60hour work week, full time, 6 week waiting list then BAM a family!!! So now I am a part time momma that runs a small hair salon from home, I am still crazy, but only work a normal 20-40 hour work week.

I have always said "I could never do anything but hair." Even if I could do anything in the whole wide world, I would still do hair. Its never the same thing twice, everyday I get to do something new and I get paid to chat. What could be better? I have passion for my job, enjoy everyday, and I love my clients!

Take tonight for example. It is HOT here right now, I am not complaining because we really do not get that many nice days in a row! But all day while slaving away doing hair, I was praying that someone, anyone would bring me a Slurpie, a Iced Something from Starbucks. When I worked in a salon there was always someone going somewhere that was never a problem, and if you wanted there was enough people that you could call and get a delivery company to go and pick it up for you. Oh those were the days....

But anyway back to tonight, I get a text from my last client "Can I bring us beer?"

"Heck yeah you can bring us beer" I reply finally a cold drink!

"I have a new Salsa recipe can I bring it too?"

Ok let me get this straight, you want to bring me beer, and make me a snack!!! Man do I love my job!!!!

So I rocked some hair, had a beer in my kitchen with a client/friend and she made me fresh Salsa, Guacamole, and Mango Salsa and then left me all the left overs. I have no idea what I did to deserve it, but man I hope it happens again! LOL

I have said it a 1000x's "I love my job, and my clients. You spoil me and my family rotten, when you do those little things for me me. I hope when you come for your salon visit you leave feeling that good. I love you all"

Go Faster

Well its official I am now a runner. And by "Runner" I mean I am in training, for a 5km race in the Rocky Mountains in September. And I have hit the pavement all of 3 times TOTAL.

I am at the end of week one and I am happy to say that I am doing ok. I have a small burn in the one calf, so I have to stretch a tad more next time. My shoulders, and legs are tad on the CRISPY side, but other then that I am doing great.

It was scary getting out and joining this learn to run group. I have a friend and he said "why do you need to learn how to run, just put one foot in front of the other and go faster." Thanks tips! But in all reality that is exactly what I have done, and our program changes again tomorrow.

So I will see what this week brings. But expect more of the same just maybe a faster pace, and bigger bug bites.
