  • Climbing the mountain

    Things have gotten so much better you guys.  We haven't been to counseling yet. The counselor I chose is on vacation the entire month of July and I didn't think it was a good idea to meet with her, only to not be able to see her for an entire month. She gave me a back-up contact, but I was looking forward to working with her. Turns out, the fab company I work for also offers counseling (not sure how many sessions), but it's another option, and its free. How awesome is that? Something about the company knowing I'm not doing so hot doesn't appeal to me. I'd rather keep it private, if I can.

    I never knew this, but hubs has actually been in counseling before for depression. Go figure. When I mentioned the counselor I chose, he admitted to it. When I asked him why he was depressed, he said he didn't know. He was in high school at the time. I just never knew this. I'm looking forward to resolving things. I really like the way this counselor works. She meets with each of you separately and then together.

    In other news, I got my hair cut yesterday. For free! There's a higher end salon here that trains their stylists extensively, and part of that training is cutting on live models. I was a hair model. That sounds so glamorous. I thought I wouldn't have any say in the cut, but I did and I love love love it. I'll have pics soon, but trust me, it's gorgeous. I'm going to get some color next week. Whee! Hubs likes the cut as well. It was just time for a change. When things spin out of control, sometimes you just need to do something to give you that feeling back.

    After. He called it a square layer cut. Lost of flirty layers in the back, and volume everywhere.

    Bday make-up. Bold yellow on the lid and purply awesomeness in the crease. Duochrome highlight. And of course, navy blue eyeliner. I had a lot going on, but I loved it. Especially those lips.

    I'm so glad that you guys are going to talk to a pro and get everything hashed out into the open. 

    and total WIN on the haircut!

    @sahel578 - Just talking to the counselor on the phone put me in a different mindset. Hubs and I (just like u and D) are so different. Our spending types, to how we see money, so different. I look forward to at least being in the same book if not the same chapters, soon.


    OMG, on the haircut. I just googled hair model one day and found an ad on Craigslist (lol @ Theologians) for the salon. They totally want me to refer all my friends into their program. So if you're ever interested, let me know. Austin was so funny, and absolutely adorable. I couldn't stop staring at his perfect white teeth.

    I'm so glad to hear things are all ready better but that you're still goign to see the counselor. 


    I wonder if there's a hair thing like that around here.  it would beat paying $110 for a cut and color ( even though I know that's actually a pretty good price).

  • laurelitavera

    @jaki_o - google hair model on craigslist.com. For reals. I'm sure there are even more salons that do this same thing in Cali. The owner of the salon checked/and triple checked the cut to make sure it all lined up properly. All for the training. I had to sign some kind of waiver, (it was practically a joke, as in I won't hold them liable for walking out bald) which would totally not happen, but still, funny. When you see pics of the cut, you will be searching for this same option, ASAP!

    Ooh. I love it.  It is so cute.  You're so right...sometimes you need a little pick-me-up... you know?


    I was telling Mando that before when I went nutso at work, I'd go home, have a couple beers and shoot the shit with Mando/friends and then the next day I'm ok.  I should think about getting a little make-up done...a haircut..maybe a mani/pedi.


    I'm glad that opening up this counseling idea also opened up communication already even before you saw a professional!  That's very promising.   xoxo
