This morning I was awakened by our smoke detectors going off. With the puppy sleeping next to me and the two other dogs (a chihuahua and a shitzu-pug) barking, I could no longer fall back asleep. The alarms would go off, all of them, then they would stop. I jumped out of bed to check it out and they had stopped. This happened about 3 times until I finally got up and called my boyfriend. He said to look up on line what detectors can detect and if it may be something else. So I do this and it says that spiders and dust could get into the system and set it off, or any bit of humidity it detects it could set it off. So I closed the windows and turn a ceiling fan on and they haven't gone off again since.

Today is going to be a very productive day! I can feel it!
-clean the dishes
-clean up the house
-pay the Direct T.V. bill
-take Dolce to Petsmart to explore
-Watch some HGTV
-Work from 6:15pm-8:15pm
-Relax and wake up early for an inservice tomorrow

Sounds pretty productive to me. Oh and yesterday I finally took my practical State Board exam for Cosmetology. After a 6 weeks you'd think they would send me a letter telling me when I test. Funny, because on the paper after you take your written it says, " 7-14 business days until you get a letter for your practical". Mine took almost 7 weeks. It's just so frustrating when everyone that I went to school with already has their license and I took the written right when they did, and I'm the only one actually with a salon job lined up and none of them have one. Oh and by the way, this girl I went to school with also will be at the salon I'll be working at unfortunately and she even colored her hair brown, LIKE MINE! Good thing I'm going lighter now! haha the jokes on her!

I really don't mean to sound this way but the reason I haven't talked to people from school is because it felt like high school all over again with the talking behind people's backs and the "who should I sit with at lunch" deal. It just annoys me that I found a job all by myself and someone had to try and steal my thunder by working at the same place. Then I have another girl telling me to "hook it up" and get her a chair there also. And my response was hey I did this on my own and you (remember I'm 20 and this lady is like in her mid thirties) can do it on your own too. She was trying to convince me that she doesn't know what to say or what to do and I', like hey then maybe you shouldn't be in this industry if you can't be outgoing and find your way.

We need a nice quote to finish it off:
Success is the good fortune that comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration and inspiration.
