"Not too short but not too long" what does that mean? How short is too short? How long is too long? I have no idea. It is different for every person. Please people, we need a little more than that!
HOLD STILL! I don't care if you are 2 or 92. Hold still. If your child won't hold still please don't be mad if we can't get everything. It's hard to hit a moving target. If you are an adult, you have NO excuse to be wiggling. Kids have some excuse but once you are 3-3 1/2, you should be able to sit still for 10 minutes.
I had a kid in my chair today that was 13 and wouldn't hold still. He was wiggling so much I missed the comb and had to take his hair MUCH shorter than what his Mom wanted. It's very frustrating.
Don't tell me how you want your hair cut and then change your mind 50 times. One cut per customer please! I don't want to cut your hair over and over again. There is a kid named Jeremy that comes in ever 3 weeks. I always cut his hair. I will cut it at least 10 different ways before he leaves. He'll tell me, I cut it like he says and then he changes his mind. It makes me frustrated. I can do 3-4 haircuts in the time it takes me to cut his hair! Arg! He is always please and says he's coming back to me. That is great, other than I don't like him.
If you like your haircut, please tip your stylist. That's where we make our money. If you go to a restaurant and like your server you tip them right? It's the same with a stylist. Also, please don't ask us for change for a $100 and then walk out with out tipping. We know you have the money! Don't tell us it's the best haircut ever and not tip us too. That hurts our feelings. "hey you did great but you're not worth the extra $2" Well thanks buddy!

My non Mother's Day post
I thought Dedra said it best on her blog do I am going to copy part of it.
"I'm not in the mood to listen to Mother's Day talks. I don't really want to hear how great everyone's mother is and all the super fantastic things they do. So here's how it's going to go down. I'm going to take a super soaker with me to church tomorrow. (A really big water gun.) I might even get the backpack the holds extra water. Then I'll sit in the front row of the chapel and as each speaker talks about how awesome their Mom is, I'll squirt them in the face. Gurgling talking will take place. When it's over, I'll go to the next class and act as though nothing out of the ordinary happened."
So I am not going to Church today. I will go next week. I don't want to be grumpy with people that have done nothing wrong just because I miss my Mom. So happy birthday to me! I am staying home!
I have plans for a real Mother's day post. It's just going to be late.

Memory Monday - on Saturday- Firsts
So we are going to take a look at some firsts.
First day of school:
I woke up and walked to school with my brothers. I was excited to be there. They dropped me off at my class and things were good. I only got in trouble twice and Mom only got one phone call. :)
I think the better story would be day two. I walked again with my brothers but I had to find my class on my own. I couldn't remember where it was. So rather than asking a teacher I walked home. I cried the whole way. When I got home, snack in hand, Mom asked why I was crying and home. I told her. She laughed and said "you could find your way home but not your class!" I was sad then. It's funny now. It was about a mile walk from school to the house.
First date:
So I would go out with my friends and we'd pair off but I don't count those as dates.
I was talking to my friend Janet and she wanted to set me up with her brother in law. (Janet got married at 16. She and I went to beauty school together) His name was Morgan. He was 6 years older than me....
They picked me up and we went to a really crapy restaurant. We then went back to Janet's house to watch a movie. Morgan spilled he beer on me. I asked Janet to take me home. So I got home late and smelled like beer... It was great!
First Time Holding Hands:
There are the times holding your friend's hand because a creeper is following you at the store or whatever. The first time for reals though I was sitting at a movie theatre. The show had just started. My arms were folded and I was leaning kinda away from him. He reached across me and grabbed my hand. He then said "I just wanted to hold your hand." it was seriously one if the cutest things ever. Haha
First Kiss:
This was all kinds of awkward... I'm embarrassed thinking about it! So he was super cute and asked if he could kiss me. I smiled and said yes. So standing in the parking lot of the Skill Center, I nervously lean in, he leans in too and we missed! So we tried again. We didn't miss the second time. ;) We didn't miss any other time after that either. There is nothing like a first kiss... Haha
First time being pulled over:
I was 18 and on my way home from my friends house. It was almost 11. Some of my friends and I were going to hang out at my house. James gave me his cell. He and Jenelle had hers. We were racing and I was winning. I got pulled over going 60 in a 35. I had almost cried my way out of the ticket. I started laughing before my window was all the way up. He knocked on my window and gave me the ticket. I fought the ticket and won. I got off completely. Muhahaha
These are just a few of my firsts. Haha The ones with funny stories. Also I couldn't think of any other ones. Haha

The do NOT's of getting your hair cut!
When you sit down in your stylist chair to get a haircut and they say "so how are we cutting your hair today?" DONT SAY SHORTER! It's the most annoying thing ever! We know you want your hair shorter! That's why you're here. We can't cut it longer!!! So if you know that you want a 2 on the sides and finger depth on top, say it!
When we ask how you want you hair cut don't tell us how you style it. That's not what we asked you!
Also, saying "trim" means nothing! I have seen "trims" where the people get 7 inches cut and "trims" where it's 1/4 inch.
"It doesn't matter, just cut it how you want" "you're the professional" We are professional. We also could shave your head and not care. So if you want hair when we're done, tell us. "Sure" is not an answer, it's an evasion! "Just cut it the same as last time" WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS!
Let's talk about talking on your phone. RUDE!!! We are trying to cut your hair. Being on the phone and acting like we are the rude one makes me want to cut your ear.
If we are not done with your haircut please don't ask us if we are going to leave it like that. We're not done! If we move you or the chair dont move back. We put you there for a reason. If we do ask you how you style it please don't tell us the product you use. We don't care if it's gell or clay or wax. we want to know the style.
Don't say you're not picky and then question everything we do. It's okay if you're picky. Don't lie to our faces! Also, don't tell me your haircut is quick and easy. Do you cut hair? No? Then how do you know!?
Saying "oh you know" is also something that is annoying! NO WE DON'T KNOW!!! THATS WHY WE ARE ASKING YOU!!! We see so many people everyday. I personally average about 400 haircuts a month. Every person with out fail does one or more of these things. Please know what you want when you come in. If you can, bring a picture. It makes our lives so much easier. Also really look at the picture. If you have thin straight hair don't bring a picture of someone with thick curly hair saying you want that. This is a comb, not a wond! We do what we can but don't expect the impossible. If you don't know and want our advice, listen and answer our questions. We are trying to help you. Not attack you.
If you have gell in your hair, expect to pay the $2 for a shampoo. If you have an itch let us know. If you move and we aren't expecting it you should expect to lose more hair than you want. Never Ever EVER use the cape to get hair off your face. That is gross! Pull your hand out from under the cape.
I am going to let you all in on a secret. There are only 7 haircuts in the world. Long layers, short layers, elevated, graduated, clipper, vertical and blunt. That's it! There are all kinds of lengths you can have these cuts. There are many ways to style them. You can even mix and match the cuts on the same head of hair. There are still only the 7 cuts.
Random:
"I want length in the back to cover my neck but not a mullet" I'm sorry sir the definition of mullet is short on top and long in the back. I cut this "non-mullet" for this man and he was happy. It was a mullet. You can't have hair 4 inches in the back and 3/4 inch on top with out it being a mullet.
If you can avoid chewing gum when getting your hair cut. Please do so. If you must be chewing gum, please don't chew with your mouth open. I had a man sit in my hair that chewed like a cow and then started gagging when hair got in his mouth. I then started gagging. Not good. I also had a man in my chair that hadn't put his teeth in and was trying to chew his gum. That was one of the grossest things I'm ever seen.
A man walked in and asked for Flynn rider's haircut. He had his 3 little girls with him. He had grown the patch of hair on his chin and was now getting the haircut. His girls were so excited and kept saying he was the best dad ever. It was so cute.
One more thing before I end this rant. If the shop closes in 5 minutes and you come through the door please don't be mad if we are booked and can't take you. Please don't be mad if we just don't take you. We have been here for 10-12 hours and are tired. We have been here all day. We are open for 10-12 hours a day find time. Don't come in 5 minutes before close and ask for a 20 minute service. It's rude!

My evening... Ken this is for you!
So I called Dedra because I wanted to tell her that I made bread for the first time. Spencer and I made dinner for his family. His parents are out if town this weekend.
We made pork roast, mashed potatoes, green beans and dinner rolls from scratch. It was so good! It was fun. It was all of his siblings, Chelsea and me. We are a fun group.
We made cookies too. Spencer, Chris and I were in the kitchen cleaning up and making new messes while everyone else was watching a movie. :) End result was chocolate chip cookies and a clean kitchen.
So back to Dedra... She didn't answer her phone when I called her. I then called my dad to tell him of Spencer and I and out bread making adventure! (Neither one of us had ever made bread. He had the leg up because at least he'd seen his mom make bread. My Mom never did.) Dedra then calls me 3 times when I was talking to my dad! RUDE!
One if the times that she called she let her husband leave me a 4 minute long voicemail message. If you have ever called my phone and gotten my voicemail you know that I HATE voicemails! I listened to the whole thing. Ken sang me Christmas carols and kept making sounds like things were exploding! My favorite part was that every time he said "BANG" or "BOOM" Dedra would giggle in the back ground!
I love Dedra and Ken very much. They are both TURDS!!! I wouldn't change them for the world!
