Onesie Twosie

I'm not going to blog about the Fourth of July because I didn't do anything that day. I watched the Boston Pops on tv, I didn't even go outside to watch locals set off fireworks (though there were many of them and the cats were horribly scared and shooting around the house in anxiety). This is a recap of the past two days, a "Onesie Twosie". Tuesday was a good day. I decided to venture out of the house and talk to some schools, specifically Chard Barton's School of Hair Design. I mention them previously as the school that accidentally left their doors unlocked. It was funny because he, Chad Barton, THANKED me for leaving the note and said he was about to call me (I believe him too; my note was on his phone). He then explained that you have to pull the door in in order for the lock to properly spin, and that the person who locked up was new and didn't know better. The had just started a new class, so everyone was in the back classroom learning how to use "shears" (he very specifically told me to not ever call them scissors because there is a large difference). We went over everything, from licensing qualifications, to what would actually BE on the license, classroom sizes, leeway with scheduling, tuition etc... In the end, it really seemed like the perfect school for me. Their focus is slowing down, taking your time, and being PRECISE. That's right y'all, PRECISION cutting. Not just hacking at random until it looks pretty. He gave me paperwork to look over and told me to get back to him whenever I'm ready to enroll. I'll most likely be starting in the beginning of September.
After this, I went to Barnes and Nobles to read for a while. It'd been a really long time since I'd been to one, so it was exciting to read n a foreign place. It was pretty cool actually because the Starbuck's was up on this stage-type thing and you had to walk up about five-ten stairs to get to it. I stayed there for an hour or so reading some book about Marilyn Monroe (though, to be honest, once you've read one Marilyn Monroe book, you've basically read them all). I also texted my mother for a while and talked about various things. She's shipping me a box of stuff so we've been discussing the contents of it for the past week. I feel bad because it's kind of expensive to ship things like that, but I'm 1,000 miles away (literally!!) so we don't have much of an option.
Another fun event of Tuesday was going and testing out this yoga studio, Cadence Yoga. It was definitely a good move because the instructor was CREATIVE with her routine. it was like any routine I had ever done before. She put things in orders that I didn't realize was possible, which actually made me have to stop and watch other people for a minute to figure out how to get from point A to point B. I bought a month membership and I'm going back today. It felt GREAT to be sore. I feel like that's a weird thing to say, but it really did! I took Wednesday off as a day of rest for my muscles, but I'm ready to go back today and rip them up again. THIS time, I'm going to bring water though. I forgot last time and felt disgustingly dehydrated when I left. It prompted me to run and buy McDonald's sweet tea immediately after getting out of the class. For the record, this is literally the only place in Oklahoma to get REAL sweet tea. Nobody else outs NEARLY enough sugar in it.
Wednesday wasn't that exciting. I signed paperwork for Sak's and then went home and read all day. The main exciting thing was TOMMY, my lovely cousin, coming home. We ordered pizza and baked a cake for his birthday. It was pretty groovy.
