The Summer is Coming!!!!!!

Ahhhhh summer is upon us. Reading Miss Stace’s blog, it got me thinking about what I was going to about my summer wardrobe. This year I am really trying to get my grown and sexy on (this is the MOST overused phrase known to man, but I couldn’t find another phrase to describe what direction I am going in). I do however, know what direction I am going in with Miss Beasley. Old Navy all the way. I love the way the clothes fit on her. She is tall but she has a small waist and the jeans and shorts at Old Navy always fit her perfect.

All is well in Miss Page’s life. Last night I was supposed to go to bible study, but I had to lay down some discipline on Miss Beasley and by that time I did not feel like going. So, I had bible study at home and I found some good stuff in the 3rd and 4th chapters of Hebrews. It was very calming.

Things at the beauty shop are a little rough right now. Yes, local hairdressers are suffering because of the high cost of hair weave. It sounds ridiculous when you first hear it, but I have notices the cost of hair weave going up, up, up. We are talking in the 40-50 dollars a pack range and you need about two packs just to get a good sew-in. Never mind the fact you have to pay the stylist another 80-150 dollars to put it in. I personally an hurting financially from this. The stylist that I assist used to do about 10-12 weaves a week and we had a system where she would braid the client up(yeah, I am a black girl that can’t cornrow) and then I would weave them up. I would yield about 50 per person from that. Well, I believe we are down to maybe 5 a week. Most of the people coming in are holding on to the hair they have and just having me tack up any loose tracks. There is no money in that. I am supposed to go to the shop tonight but I am starting to wonder if there is any point to it. Last Thursday I walked away with 5 whole dollars…..yeah.

As I sit here at work I am plagued by the fact that I REALLY want a grape Nantucket Nectar, but I think that drink is like 3 points on Weight Watchers and I am saving all my love for dinner tonight (steak!) , I will press on sipping water. Be Blessed!
