Hair Dos

I have long hair and I'm a nurse. Long hair gets in the way of nursing so I always tie it back. A co-worker of mine said I should post some of the hair dos I have done for work. I got all of these dos from the internet, youtube channels or just kind of came up with them. Enjoy.

Random Things I've Seen Recently

If you don't watch for cars you will get hit in the bum with a star according to this sign.

Okay, a little weird but true.

The person who thought of this is kind of awesome :)

This was taped to the Designated Doctor's Computer at my work.

Somebody thinks they're funny.

Another Round of Furniture Do-Overs

 My bedroom is cream and gold colored so I practiced my spray-painting skills on this

Also for my bedroom I need a stool to go with my vanity. I found this sad, ugly thing for $10 at a second hand store.

I sanded, painted and reupholstered it into this.

I also had this old daybed frame which I decided to turn into a couch.

I was given this end table and gave it a much needed make-over.

This is my mom's old bike which she bought before I was born. We name everything in my family and this bike use to be called "Silly".

After some serious rust removal and few accessories, I now call her "Frilly".

Apollo

This is the conversation that went down between me and my mother yesterday.

"So I was running around the river and I saw the most beautiful man," I start out saying.

"Wait," my mother interrupts. "Tall, short hair, not real big but more a lean sculpted build, beautiful bronze and Apollo looking?" my mother asks.

"Yes! So you've seen Apollo as well," I say laughing out loud.

"Who hasn't seen him," she replies.

"Well, I need to thank him next time I see him because I ran the river 2 minutes and 55 seconds faster than normal because I was running behind him the whole way," I say.

"Was he glancing behind him wondering why this red-head was chasing after him?" she laughs.

"Looking like that, I'm sure it's not an unusual event. I clocked his left hand and he wasn't wearing a ring but a lot of guys don't wear rings when they are working out. Makes it difficult for us single women," I reply.

"Next time chase him to his car and see if he gets into a minivan or some two-seater, then you'll know," my mother replies.

I'm laughing out loud again. "Why didn't I think of that," I reply.

"If I see him again... no, when I see him again, a person can't miss that. I'll stalk him to him to his car and text you," my mother replies.

"Sweet, thanks," I say still laughing.

What a fabulous mother I have :)
