I had my hair appointment yesterday and the entire salon is getting revamped - including the staff. Everyone up and left the owner (my stylist) for a new venture and she took the opportunity to make the changes she's wanted to for years. What it means to me is better hours (finally open all week) and OTHER services. I'm scheduled for an updo in December ahead of a holiday night out! Finally!! I'm so excited to learn how to do something different with my hair. It's been a mini-bucket list item for a couple of years. We have a local Dry Bar for a blow-out and style but I couldn't make it fit (and I heard mixed reviews - hair gets BIG and DONE and I want simple).
(Side note - when I saw Dry Bar, I thought it was a trendy OXYGEN bar and I wanted to try it LOL.)
I mentioned switching my hair appointment this week worked well so I could be ready for tickets to a women's event. She said - OMG are you going to RISE. Yep. I guess it's that big of a thing. I didn't know.
It got us talking about all of this self-help stuff, etc. She said the reason she handled a phone call that every stylist was leaving and then turned it around was the work she's done on herself for years. She had a moment with her feeling, turned it around and then hit the ground running with her new vision of the salon. Within 24 hours things went from CRAP to AMAZING. She said it's a win for everyone and sometimes change needs to be sweeping change.
Some days I wonder if I'm going TOO MUCH all in with self-help stuff. After the conversation yesterday, I know it's a good balance and it's good work. It matters and it helps maneuver through shit that hits the fan.
In other news, I have a delivery of an antique dresser today. My great grandmother's furniture. My sister was holding it for me since my mom moved and downsized. She was planning to deliver it with her trailer, but shipped it instead. I'm excited (pictures to come).
The PHB person finally got back to me and we are walking Friday morning. I'm not thrilled with her MIA status, but I'm curious to meet her so in the name of "adventure" ... it's happening.
Oh - and today is my 26th Anniversary. Happy Anniversary to us! We are celebrating this weekend with a quick trip to Florida to use timeshare points. I thought hubby was out of town all week, but he's back tonight (I totally missed that one!!). Now I need some sort of anniversary something. Shoot!!! It turned out to be a busy week and I'm scrambling to get my life in order hahaha. The weekend will be fun!
