Happy Wednesday

Well it's been awhile and there really isn't too much to post. We spent last weekend in Vancouver visiting some old friends, and doing some catch up!! It was a very fun and fast time away. We are starting a small chain link job tomorrow which we will finish Friday, and a small 5 panel job for Monday. But that's it for now. The phone just isn't ringing!!! Good thing for my little salon.... It's getting us by!!! The weather has been gorgeous here on the island this week. Highs of around 7 with chilly lows of 2. No snow in sight!!!!

Sunshine and snow

It's a beautiful crispy -1 here today but the sun is shining!!! It's beautiful! I have a day full of hair clients and I couldn't be more excited!!! Brooks is going to putter around the house and yard and hopefully I can convince him to take Yukon for a walk!!! I don't think I will have time. I will post some before and after photos of my clients, granted their hair turns out...... Hehehe

Another day

Well I woke up in a winter wonderland this morning!! It instantly brought a smile to my face!! I hoped out of bed, got dressed and on with my day. We went into Victoria to do a small chain link repair. We then headed back up island, snow was coming down, and we loaded the truck with our panel material. We made it home around 3, made the panels as fast as we could into the hot tub we jumped!!!! What a day!!! Brooks friend Jason came over tonight with a new "friend" and if it doesn't work out with them, I tell ya, her and I WILL be friends!!! She is a hairstylist in Campbell River. We have lots in common!!! Anyways I am off to bed now. Bootcamp tonight kicked my butt!!!! Zzzzzzzzz

It's arrived!!!

I woke up today and the first thing I thought was "ooooooo it feels like snow". Sure enough by 10 o'clock it started coming down. At first it was big beautiful chunky flakes. The kind that give you the feeling that you are caught in a snow globe. Within an hour the rain started. Heavy big drops coming straight down. Winter has arrived on the island!!!!

We finally got our wood for the panels today and will build them tomorrow and install Friday. We also have two little chain link repairs to fit in tomorrow in Victoria. I took a drive into Nanaimo this afternoon to get some more hair product for my salon. I am busy all weekend with three cut and colors. This should bring in roughly $300 or so and may also try to fit in a couple of haircuts. My mom is needing one pretty badly however I made a deal with her long ago that her cuts and colors will always be free.... Should have thought twice about that one!!!! Anyways I will be busy this weekend but I am so much looking forward to seeing some old clients of mine!! At this moment I am sitting in my salon, admiring my accomplishment of actually doing this instead of just talking about it. It feels great and I am looking forward to what this is going to bring to my life!!! Me and my salon dog Yukon!!!!

It's arrived!!!

Tuesday...

Today was a good day!! Sun was shining, people were smiling!!! We waited of now all day for a phonecall from the mill with our panel material but it just didn't come. We tidied up the yard rather than wasting time or gas going into town. It is 6:00 now and I am heading off to bootcamp!!! I go to bootcamp every Tuesday and Thursday, and do personal training every Saturday morning at 9am. It keeps me happy and feeling good about ME!! I have started a new eating program as well which consists of healthy foods. Veggies, protein, and CARBS!! I am not one to cut carbs out of my diet. I enjoy them too much and all things are okay for you in moderation!!!! Anyways I am excited for this! I must run now, bootcamp calls!!!
