Pet Peeve

When people call into the salon and make an appointment and say, "Soo um liiiike I don't know what I want, maybe like um some color or like some highlights or like who knows maybe just a haircut! Hehe!" Really now? It seems that it would be common courtesy to not call someone to make an appointment unless you know what you want that appointment to be for. Apparently not.


Also, don't email me asking for prices on highlights and then throw in that you're a transgendered woman...is that totally necessary? I could care less what kind of woman you are, it doesn't change the prices.

Day 2: Riding My Bike to Work

I love it. By the time I get to work I'm already hot and sticky, but I don't mind so much. It's somehow freeing to not be able to take off and go anywhere at anytime easily. I sat and read at work all day, because I wasn't busy. It was a good day :)

Where do you fit?

This comes from part of a conversation that Josh and I had today about the church in which we grew up. We discussed how so many of the "Christians" there, and everywhere, love to put people into categories; whore. fag, teen mom, thief, alcoholic, drug addict, adulterer, smoker, lower class citizen, the list goes on and on. People are grouped up according to their worst characteristic, while their good ones are completely overlooked.  We're all guilty of putting ourselves on this pedestal of judging those we come in contact with, and it's disgusting. Why is church a place we go to pretend we're something we aren't? Shouldn't it be a place to go and feel safe and comfortable; a place to work out your problems with your fellow believers. I refuse to attend church only to pretend as if I've never messed up and don't continue to mess up in some way daily. This walk of following God is a struggle faced everyday, it's something we should be able to share and work through together. People shouldn't be ruled out because they fit into some category of sin, because they don't hide who they are to impress you. This has to change. Christians can no longer be seen as cold, judgmental, hypocritical people, but as loving, caring, giving, open and honest people. Much, much more was discussed, but this is all for tonight - I'm exhausted!

"Let us be very sincere in our dealings with each other and have the courage to accept each other as we are."

So sweet

If she can be this positive, then so can I.

Interesting..

I read this article last night. It didn't have anything overly profound to say, I just enjoyed it.
