Eyebrows...There should be TWO!

Ok.. so I stole that line from a movie, but it fits my situation.
I admit it.. I can no longer see well enough without my glasses to wax my own eyebrows. So I have to depend on "professionals" to do it for me. My grandaughter, Rachel, and I went to Super Cuts to get our eyebrows "done" today. What a disaster it was for me!! The lady that did mine was the manager of the store so I should expect to get excellent service... not true. As I explained that I was 'blind as a bat" without my glasses she proceded to wax my brows. I thought it was odd that she put wax on BOTH my upper and lower brow at the same time, but figured she knew what she was doing.. after all she was the manager. We chatted about my work, her kids (one of who was there underfoot) ect. When she was done she did'nt offer me the mirror like they usually do... again I thought it was odd but didn't say anything. (MY mistake) Rachel was already done so I paid my $8.00 and tipped her $3.00 and off we went. We stopped at the shop (that's what we call Laura's buisness) on our way home. Laura takes one look at me and started to laugh, Rachel turns to see what she's laughing at and she started to laugh. During all this laughing and giggling I looked in the mirror to see what I had on my face that was so funny. Well it wasn't what was ON my face, it what was MISSING on my face...my right eyebrow. Not ALL of it mind you.. just HALF of it! That "professional manager" had taken off half my eyebrow! Now I know why she never handed me the mirror when she was done. I'm just fumming mad but there is nothing I can do except buy an eyebrow pencil and color it in untill it grows out. What really makes me mad is she KNEW she'd done it and instead of admiting the mistake to me and apoligizing she just ignored it and said nothing. ( had she told me I'm sure I would have been upset but not nearly as upset as now for being decieved) I guess I will have to chalk this up to a learing experience....Look in the mirror BEFORE you leave! You'll understand if I don't add a photo with this post. LOL

50 % OFF SALE

Today is one of our "big" days...it's 50% off day. That means everything in the store is 50% off all day long.
We open at 8AM, an hour earlier than normal and it's non stop till we close at 8PM.
I worked a couple of extra hours on my own time last night so I could get the shelves as full as they will get. On our last 50% off day we did a little over $16,00.00 so if we beat that this time, we will get a day off with pay!

It is also an important day for me, I've volunteered my time to the Make a Wish Foundation to do face painting for a child that wished for his birthday party to be held at my daughters place, Kids Party Jumps. So right after work at 3PM I have to dash there and do face painting for a couple of hours..
Busy, busy day for me! Hope ya'll have a good one too!

It's Hereeeeeee

Yep... it's here.. Tornado season as started.
After last years Tornado that barely missed our house I am prepared!
I purchased a Hazard Alert Radio with digital SAME technology for localized warnings.
Jeff and I each bought one. Jeff set it up for me and I went to bed last night feeling safe from the impending storm that was coming. Sure enough, about 2 am it went off with a "severe thunderstorm warning". Since they were predicting severe weather for most of the day I decided to take it to work with me. I had barely gotten in the door when it went off again, this time with a Tornado Watch.
We kept it on at work all day just to be safe. Luckily, we did'nt get anything stonger than severe thunderstorms here.



I think it was worth the expense and feel so much safer that I have it.
This weekend we are going to make an area in the basement with a TV, radio, flash lights ect. in case we have to go down there during a storm. Hopefully we won't ever need it, but it's nice to know if we do it's there!
