Long weekend




So I went to upload all the pictures on my camera and on my old computer there was a little slot for the memory card but I couldn't find one on my new one and when I got marcus he said, "oh you need the cord." and I said, "well where is it?" and his response was, "I put it in storage." great! So I borrowed Mary's because I HAD to get the pictures of the crib set up. So more pictures to come when I can figure out what to do exactly. So Friday was the first day of my "salon" training, meaning no more bookwork, tests, and maniquen hands. So I had to have a live model for a manicure and pedicure and who better to do than Marcus! and it just so happened he didn't have work that day so he graciously came in not knowing that in order to pass them off before working on the public, I had to paint the nails. The fingernails had to be red because in our state board test we have to use red its harder to keep clean than other colors becasue of th pigment. It was pretty funny when I pulled the polish out at first he was not too happy, but when my instructor Alise told him it was mandatory, he agreed, with the promise of me taking it off right away. Then when we got to the pedicure I thought I was pretty funny by painting them pink with white polka dots. Poor guy, it was torture. but he must not be too embaressed becasue he let me take pictures and he still has the pink toe nails. On saturday, my mom and I went down to Springville to my cousin Emily and Aunt Becky's house to start working on the bumper pads and dust ruffle for the crib. Well we got going on it and ended up finishing the whole thing in a day, and it was a really really long day but well worth it because i LOVE it. and I actually did do some of the sewing and I cut out all the fabric. I was proud of myself I've never done anything like this. And of course if it wasn't for Emily it would have been a mess! My mom and Aunt Becky worked on a cute quilt, they got it all tied, and then started to crochet the edge of another cute blanket. It was a fun day, thanks mom emily and Aunt Becky!
