R.I.P. Katy <:3(1.16)~~

Ooh La La!

There is no doubt about it! I want this woman's hair and her style in general! I love her post modern, messy shag hair do and her vintage looking tomboyish clothing and I think I might put some of my financial aid money towards a hair cut and an updated wardrobe this semester. Its been ages and ages since I really bought myself any clothes in complete outfit form! Oddly enough I'm even kind of excited about going clothes shopping... Now if only I could put some effort into getting a body remotely like hers too! :-)

Dog Grooming vs. Human Grooming

Just a list of pros and cons that I've been considering when I think about going to groom school at the end of this month and beauty school in the future...

Dog Grooming Pros:

• Dogs are cuter and often sweeter than people!
• Well trained dogs are a pleasure to groom!
• I don't really have to worry about developing any kind of relationship with canine clients.
• I can say anything I want in front of the dogs.. They don't care.
• I don't have to worry about how I look for the clients... Again, the dogs don't care.
• People aren't usually as picky about their dog's haircut as they are their own.
  

Human Grooming Pros:

• I don't usually have to worry about people biting me.
• I don't have to check human clients' shot records.
• Human clients are much less likely to poop all over the place for me to clean up.
• People are likely to pay more for their own haircut then they are for their dog's haircut.
• Expressing human anal glands is not a service I'd ever have to offer.
• I know plenty of people who would let me practice on them.
• People are more likely to listen when you tell them to sit still or give them any direction for that matter.
• The chances of me cutting a human client are much less than the chances of me cutting a dog client.

Either way the good news is that ultimately I don't really have to choose between the two. There is no rule that a hairdresser can't groom dogs in her spare time or vice versa :-P The other good news is that as long as I live a decently populated, remotely trendy area I can be gauranteed that there will people who need their dogs groomed and their own haircut too.

What might be even more fun is if you combined a beauty salon and a grooming salon in one... That way the pet and the owner could get their hair done at the same time :) There are people out there who would love that idea!

Pet Peeve #10

Waiting!

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for season two of my newest favorite series to download and its taking forever!

Also... Waiting and being teased while waiting just makes it worse!

I keep looking over and sometimes it will be down to like just 30 more minutes, but then of course two minutes lates its back up to 2 days. *sigh*

I hate waiting.

I'm Back (Again)

No... I haven't been in hiding... Just busy with a tendency to forget I have a blog :-)

I remembered today though... Although it helped that I'm kind bored since I don't have work or school today and I'm stuck waiting for at least another couple of hours for the next season of my current obsession to finish downloading.

I do have some great news though... I'm going to grooming school at the end of this month! :-) They haven't officially decided at which salon they are going to hold the academy yet and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that its not at my salon though. There really just isn't enough room in our salon anymore to fit another 6 people! Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I also have some sad news... My rat Katy had to have surgery to remove a large mammary tumor early last month. She's all healed up and doing okay now, but sadly the mass is coming back :( I don't think it would be fair to put her through another surgery, so I really don't know what to do now. I guess I need to take her back to the vet and talk about what my options are now. Rats really are hard on the heart to love.

I guess the only other news that I have to report is that I've also decided to teac myself how to crochet this winter break. It is kind of fun and keeps my hands busy. So far I've only done a bunch of swatches to practice my stitces, but I think my first project is going to be an afgan. I have to find some nice yarn and enough of it first though :-P

Anyways... I guess that's it for this update... Hopefully I'll be back before this month is up ;-)
