past to the future

This summer has nearly been a blur! at the beginning of the year i had your typical "new year" post, "Time", i said i was going to list goals. well, this year has been so crazy with sister's wedding,;14 other weddings/showers; best friend,SIL and 14 other friends having babies/showers; church - which included 2-a-day vacation Bible school where i taught 5-6th graders both sessions; dentist appointments galore!; and oh yeah! there was work! the goal thing slipped my mind! there really is a lot i would like to vent about, feelings and such, on certain matters/events, but i'm hearing my dad's voice in my head:"everyone posting all their business on the WORLD WIDE WEB is ridiculous, and it's causing all sorts of problems." so, as we so often have to do, i'll admit he's right. on this at least ...

i love my job! it never feels like work, i wish i was busier (especially in august) every day i was there. i love my schedule most weeks. i'm off on sunday and wednesdays. however, some mondays i'm so exhausted that i want to scream,cry and hide in my bed. but then i think that's everyone's view on monday. right?! well, earlier in the summer, all sorts of drama broke out at work. and not within the salon; literally outside the salon. i HATE drama! Sister's blog is usually about random drama, and she says it follows her. i always say, "it's because you allow it." anyhow this is going to sound like one of her posts. love you sister! so .....

here's the story all about how my life got twisted and turned upside down. i'd like to take a minute sitting right down telling you about how a streaker,pyro maniac got bailed out!

(sorry fresh prince of bel air's song always gets stuck in my head when telling a drama filled story)

Friday, June 5 was a beautiful,sunny, summer day. i had a full day at work, and needed to get leave early. a couple from my church was in the process of moving to another state for his residency,and we were having a " going away" dinner for them that evening. also, on my oh-so-busy calendar, was doing the fruit for my BFF's baby shower. the baby shower wasn't until the next day, but i'm a hairstylist - thus i work nearly every saturday - i had to work, run home grab the fruit, change clothes, and drive to her house. that left no time for preparing it all on saturday. so my plan on friday was work,walmart,home,dinner,back home to prepare the fruit. i was thinking that i would have a few hours home before time to leave for the dinner. how wrong was i?!

at work, as i'm finishing up 2 new clients, i look out my window (which is huge) and see our landlord's "girlfriend" (who i will refer to as crazy S) in the parking lot and noticed she was barefoot. it's early summer in alabama, don't walk on pavement barefooted! i also was thinking to myself, what is she wearing? brown capris and a brown top? as i was finishing styling my client's hair,B, the owner of the shop comes running in. she's not a drama queen. she's a matter of fact kind of gal. she yells! "i need your keys and now!!!!!" so i go running to our room and get her my keys so she can lock us in the shop. while i'm on my way to do that she says,"Crazy S is mad, nude, and headed for us!" as soon as the door was locked here comes crazy S! sure enough! the only thing she had on was an ankle bracelet! the brown outfit i thought she was wearing was just her skin! she could have been a great model for her tanning salon.hahaha. after she nearly breaks down our glass doors, cusses out B,me and my clients (who i had never even met until that day) she goes running out to the main street in front of our salon. during "rush hour" all nude and trying to get run over. finally, she goes back to her home. which, shock shock! is only across the street from our salon. she ended up being arrested, but was out after 24 hours. so the next week, we were working with our guards up. thursday evening crazy s gets drunk. no real harm done then. apparently all weekend she continued getting drunk. her daughter told landlord she passed out monday morning. and her poor daughter was trying to protect us, so her mom beat the crap out of her. well, monday night crazy S woke up. she had been given a yellow mustang by landlord the 1st time they were together. after their break up he took it back, and had it parked under an awning of his barn, where b's show horses are. well crazy s lit the car on fire. she was arrested. broke the window out of the police car,escaped,arrested again. luckily for b and her horses. the local FD was coming back off a call and saw the smoke before getting the call, and had the fire out oh so quickly. she goes to jail, and was there from early in the morning on june 16 until yesterday! and landlord,who is beyond stupid apparently, bailed her crazy tail out. she now resides behind the salon. in her statement about the fire she threatened our salon, the barn and horses, and landlord. lets just say this is one thing that doesn't have me happy!

this should be interesting. i'm hoping the interesting part will be that she has changed,and we will be in no danger. guess time will tell ................

now on to getting some things on my long to-do list off!
