OOOOOOKKKK......so I know it seems like I only update my blog every 6 months but things get kinda crazy with wedding plans and everything else! But still..sorry for my slackingness(<- hah..nice word huh!)AAAANNNNNYYYYWAYS!...Wedding plans are going good..well..I think so anyways. I'm pretty sure i've been driving my mom crazy though with my "I dont care..whatever.." attitude. But the thing is...is that I really DONT care about all the specifics..as long as it looks good in the end, I'll be happy! For example...with the flowers, we (me and mom) met with the flower ladies the other day and they were asking me all these questions and I felt like my brain was going to explode! Sure I'm going to be picky with SOME things, but i'll go crazy if I have to tell them every little friggin detail with EVERYTHING! BUT dont get me wrong..i'm so excited for my wedding and soooooooo greatful for all the help everyone has been giving me..i'm just not that picky when it comes to the decorations, flowers, cake,and food. Sheesh...no wonder why people elope! Haha! Oh yeah...for the music I'm having a D.J. for half the night, then a mariachi band for the 2nd half!!! I'm so excited ( and so is Nestor )! I think its going to be lotsa fun! And if Nestor's side of the family dance like most mexicans do, it will go on all night! Oh..and I know I said this in my post before, but just to be sure...the wedding date has been moved to OCTOBER 13th! ( oh and p.s. Nestor's b-day is the 14th..so he better not ever forget an annerversary! )haha! WAIT...STOP THINKING THAT YOU SICKO!..I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING!! "Nestor's going to get a good birthday present!" ...dang right he's getting a good birthday present..he gets to open all the wedding gifts!! Hahahaha i'm funny! ...but seriously..stop thinking that..your freaking me out! ooooh man! ok..enough of that! SO...the other day Nestor and I saw Transformers...it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! I'm so glad I promised him i'd see it with him otherwise I would of never gone to see it! I LOVED it! I'd even go see it again! So if you havent seen it yet..you NEEEEED to! I still havent seen Harry Potter ( hopefully I can tomorrow), or Rattitoui(sp?) but I'll get to them eventually. Any other movies you think I should see?
Well...I'm out of things to write about..so check back in about 6 months for another update! haha! Love ya!

IM ENGAGED!!!!!!
YUP! Nestor proposed to me yesterday around 5:00ish! Im so excited!! Im thinkin that the wedding will be October 6th (on Ryans b-day! ...happy b-day ryan!) So here is how he did it...
I walked into his house and he had a bunch of rose petals in his entry, and his computer set up and a sign that said "press play"..and he made this cute video of him saying how much he loved me and a bunch of sweet things and then he said to walk to the end of the step ( there is a step down going into his living room from the entry) and there was his phone wrapped up with a sign that said "push" (he has one of those mp3 phones that you can play music from by pushing a button on the front) and our song started playing and he came out from around the corner and had my heart pillow that he gave me on our first valentines day with a rose on it with the ring on the rose stem and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!! And ofcourse I said yes!! YAY! Well..i gotta get to work now! (I gotta show off my ring to everyone!!) :)YIPPEEEEE!!!!!

Another update!
The other day Nestor and I drove past Cafe Rio to see how close it was to being done..they have some tables and chairs up...but still not open yet. I cant even begin to tell you how excited I am for it to open! It has been FAR to long since the last time I had one of their delish salads ( and I'll try some of the other stuff there too just for you KJ!) But the salads...yum! I have been craving one soooo bad! I even thought about driving to St. George to get one ( stupid..i know) (i didnt go for your information). Anywho....work is still going good. Its still a little slow, but i'm averaging atleast a client a day, so thats good! And i've been putting out a special for extensions so hopefully I can get some extension clients.... Nestor might be getting a promotion at Target. The lady who is the "manager" of the photo lab has mentioned to him a few times that she is going to leave and she'll train him for her job, which will give him about a 2-3 dollar an hour raise and more hours. So hopefully that happens sooner than later. Oh...the diet thing is going ok...i've lost about 10 lbs since I last posted..whoo hoo! Its not so much the eating thing as it is the excercising. But hopefully the loosing continues! ...Anyways...I dont know what else to write...sorry again that it takes me 10 years to put up a new post!

not much goin on...
Sorry again for the delay in new posts...there really isnt anything new goin on. Work is going good...its still slow..but thats how it is trying to build a clientel. I had a lady today tell me that she was a severe manic-depressant and that if she freaked out for me not to worry...oh boy! But nothing happend...ummmm......I'm doing that diet I did a long time ago with my mom. Hopefully I can re-lose that weight and this time, keep it off! ....I'm really excited for the Cafe Rio to open down here! And that its fairly close to the salon...hopefully I dont destroy my diet too badly with that! Hah! Anyways...thats all I can think of to write for now...sorry. When something exciting happens, I will be sure to write it down!

YAY for making money!
So its been a few weeks since the salon opened. And sofar, so good! Even though it gets borring just sitting there waiting for a walk in, its worth it when someone finally comes in and I get to make money! And its even better because I love doing what I do! ..so here's a funny story..
My very first walk in at the salon, was this lady who claimed to usually get her hair cut by "Johnathan" in L.A. But she couldn't wait any longer so she had her friend ( who mind you cuts her own hair with a FLOW-B..and her dog's hair too...SICK)cut her hair in her garage. So she just wanted it fixed. No big. Not anything hard. So anyways, she came in and talked to the receptionist and said she would be back in 30 min for her haircut. ..So 30 min goes by and I was super nerveous because she was my VERY first official walk in. Anyways, she comes back and is talking to the receptionist and asks, " Can you make sure that I get someone who knows what they're doing...someone who was been cutting hair for a while now. " So I overhear her saying this and think, "oh great...there goes my first walk in!" but McCall (the owner of the salon,..who is also sometimes the receptionist) walks back to my station and says just loud enough for the client to hear " So you've been cutting hair for about...4 years now right Chelsea??" And I looked at her kinda shocked and said, "....yep...." ( Keep in mind that McCall KNOWS that im brand new and that this is my first walk in ) SO the lady walks back and see's me and says " Oh good! You have long hair, so you know how to cut long hair!" ( like the length of MY hair determines my ability to cut hair...weirdo! ) So the WHOLE time she is sitting in my chair she is asking me all these questions like " so where did you work before this?" "how long have you been working?" and other questions that required me to BOLD FACE LIE to her about. So I pulled out all sorts of answers out of my butt. And it worked. I wasn't happy that I had to lie to her. But it got me a client. She ended up loving her hair and so happy that it was able to be fixed. Infact, the next day I walked to this little restaurant place thats next door to the salon and I saw her in there and she yelled out my name, so I went over to talk to her and she introduced me to the guy she was eating with and said to me, "I love my hair!!" And turns to the guy she is with and says, " This is the girl who saved my hair!! She is amazing!" So I felt pretty good! I thought about telling her "oh and by the way, i havent been working for 4 yearts..infact, you were my very first walk in!" ...but i dont think that would of gone over very well!!!
...long story..but i thought it was funny! Oh...i forgot to mention that the whole time she was in my chair i was thinking to myself "woe unto the liar..."...whoops.
...anyways...today was really good too! i did a walk in men's haircut, an updo and a woman and child's cut! yay! :)
