Confidence- It’s all in the haircut.

A confidence booster - a great haircut.

A confidence buster - a bad haircut.

A confidence booster - a bouquet of flowers out of the blue.

A confidence buster - a Dear John letter out of the blue.

A confidence booster - a relaxing pedicure.

A confidence buster - an overly chatty pedicurist who informs you that her bookmaker may have put out a contract on her life when you are sitting in front of the spa’s picture window.

The haircut I want. Not what I got.

 

 

 

The flowers I got. Exactly what I needed.

 

 

Gotta find a new place to go for a pedicure.

Jake, my German shepherd, is often filled with existential angst. But then he says, “Ah, fuck it. I think I’ll just chase my tail.” That’s my new motto.

    Beautiful flowers. :)

  2. Penelope says:

    Ignore the busters…..enjoy the boosters! (That thing at the nail salon sounds like a Quentin Tarantino movie).

  3. Casey Wyatt says:

    I think in some ways our pets are smarter than us! They just live in the moment. Love the signage and the flowers.

  4. Jaye says:

    Heh. Nice flowers. Good dog.

    That cut is an art project and will require some creative experimentation on your part. It is also going to require some sculpting-texturing-paste-gel-stuff to make your cut look more “piecey or chunky” Use the goo sparingly and twist it onto only the tips of the sections you want to shape.
    Have fun with it, I’m sure you look great!
    XXOO Kat

    Hrm…well…on the bright side, that salon name is surprisingly apropos…

    1. Sorry about the cut.
    2. Nice flowers.
    3. Good doggy. Just…if you’re that intent on following his existential philosophy towards the greater lightness of being, make sure that you’re CHASING your butt, not LICKING it. ;-)

  7. Very pretty flowers…Oh that haircut would be hot….

  8. Thanks, Savannah. And I do like that haircut!

  9. I wish the beer had been good, Savvie, but it was bitter!

  10. Right Tracy, got it, just chase, no lick. :)

  11. Hi Kat! Actually my hair will do that cut without anything. It’s just that this time around, she kept screwing it up and made it so short she just sort of had to blunt cut it. Nothing worse than a bad haircut!

  12. Very good dog, Jaye.

  13. Yes and no, Casey. GSDs tend to think ahead. They plan their day out. And they worry. Chasing a tail seems to make it all better!

  14. Yes, Penny. Plus she had extra cleavage showing as she bent over. I’m not a guy… I don’t care.

  15. I think so too, Amber!

  16. Evie Balos says:

    I could see you with that hairstyle, Julia-try another hairdresser. Got a kick out of the name of the nails salon. :-)

  17. In my family, and the area I am from, Albany NY, it was cutlery. If you dropped a spoon a woman was coming to visit, a knife was a man and a fork was a family or group.

  18. I plan to, Evie. Actually, I think that salon sounds like fun - not my salon.

  19. Interesting, Steph.

    :-) A friend cut my hair once…it was about 1/2 inch long over the entire surface of my head. I learned something from that experience. Hair grows back out, usually. And I really liked it that short. Haven’t been able to get a hair stylist to take me seriously since then.

    Loved the flowers though I’d personally rather have irises or daffodils.

    Nailed, eh? Yeah, it’d probably be a good idea to find another place. She sounds like a pip, for sure. And…you made me smile. Have a good evening!

  21. Hi Anny. Fortunately my hair grows fast.

  22. Nina Pierce says:

    I’m always late to the party. Sorry your haircut isn’t what you wanted and though it will grow out, it’s disappointing to have a vision the hairdresser couldn’t see.

    Hope your toes are happy even if you weren’t! Take care.

  23. No sweat, Nina. Growing the cut out. Getting new hairdresser!

  24. Sandra Cox says:

    We’ll have a brief moment of silence for haircuts gone wrong.
    Love the flowers.

  25. Oh Sandra, haircuts are the all….
