Found it

Found a great new product that I can't live without at my station. It's Bumble and Bumble's "Thickening Spray"! 
It can be used on fine hair to ad volume and texture and on med to thick hair for great blow dry styles. 
It's such a versatile product and its on my "must have" list of styling products.

Stay on

In this era of reformed or reforming healthcare I want to take a moment to shed a little light on what it might look like.
I've been put on a drug called Zyprexia for .....hell, not sure why. But the Rx ran out on Sunday. A week before that I requested a refill because being without it causes horrible, painful, and dangerous side effects. It's been a week and two days and still don't have the Rx because I have to have a specific Dr write the Rx. So, as I wait in pain for the Dr to do this I'm unable to get refills, temps, or even another Dr to write the Rx. This is what Obamacare is going to be like. I'm so excited for us all.

Customer Service in the Tech Age

We all have seen it and made comments about it. The "Self Check" isle at the grocery store and the in attentive attendant that, when called by a prompt from the electronic cashier, simply inputs a series of numbers without so much as a "hi, how are you"! 
We are allowing it so its almost as if we are just as much to blame. We want the speedy, non chatting electronic cashier. She gets it done and gives us more time for Facebook and Twitter or the chance to shoot that cute self portrait of us using the electronic cashier on Instagram.
I'm guilty. But when I'm in a business whose business plan is to provide exceptional customer service, I want the person helping me to give me their undivided attention. It's the least amount of time I will demand but its mine. It's a simple pleasure I have to get a venti mocha frappacino with whip and a smile.

Old thoughts die hard

Reading "The Invitation" for the third time and ready to make that statement, "I long for....", "I desire having....", and "I must have ........to fill complete".
Now to get to the end of the book and make those statements.

It's simple

When we find ourselves having a pity party (table for one please) its my experience that all I need to do is county blessings and find the joy I give to others. Easier said than done sometimes and it's usually the last thing we want to hear from some happy a** that hasn't had a bad day since Carter was president. I always put my music on, find "It's a Wonderful Life" from Ace of Base and it reminds me......damn it, I'm pretty darn lucky!
