I took a stroll through the park today, it was so gorgeous outside! i took my jump rope and listened to worship music while doing lunges and stretches by the river. It was very nice and i was able to really just listen to myself and think about things.

Random: i realized that life is so frail and scary as you get older! what happened to those warm, wonderful summer breaks when you didn't have anything to study for... no obligations but to take a BREAK? with friends? with a car. freedom to buy that ice cream cone. call up a boy to come over and kill a spider without it looking like it was romantic.  even getting mad at roommates for stupid roommate stuff.... it wasn't even half as complicated as it is now!

Random: and as much as one would like to leave things in the past, it's still there---deeply rooted and permanent.  Who the heck thought of that phrase "what happened in the past, stays in the past"??? the same person who said "what happens in vegas, stays in vegas" I suppose... haha.  Turns out that it can come back to haunt you over & over again, maybe for the rest of your life.

Random: I keep getting these notices in the mail about animal cruelty. they're REALLY random and specific, like "Save the donkeys" and "Did you know that dogs and cats continue breathing and blinking for 5 minutes after they are skinned alive?"  I donated to ASPCA and now I'm on some list!!  But I will probably donate anyway =P

Random: I'm slightly considering working up the Crumbs Cupcake corporate ladder.  I really like the company and what it stands for.  Apparently, all the corporate people started out as regular associates like me! Something to think about...

... since I blogged about my normal life! What have I been doing... just random things.  Lots of hair/makeup related things plus checking my email about 99 times per day.  I guess it helps that I got the new Palm Pre.  I'm still getting used to smart phones--- it can get crazy confusing. I didn't really understand how to pick up calls or make my alarm go off correctly.

So far, my the camera on my phone rocks.  The internet speed is great and I love the touch screen.  The downfalls are the slide-phone-ness of it. (I dislike slide or flip) And the itty bitty keyboard.  Even for my long nails, the keys are so hard to press!

As far as the makeup/hair biz, I think little by little I've been getting progressively faster and better---especially because I only concentrate on hair now.  It's just hard to be creative when every single bride wants the exact same "do."  I swear, they all save their pictures from the same places online.  Almost all of them bring me pictures of Carrie Underwood, Megan Fox and Jessica Alba pictures.  Those are horrible examples because those women are just incredibly gorgeous, so of course they'd look great with a mop on their head!  The clash of "clean & perfect face with messy hairdo" only works when you look like that.
