Yesterday was a wonderful day.
Today, not so much. 
This morning I got a phone call saying that two of my dogs were missing so I spent most of the morning at school crying because I was so scared that what happened to Buddy would happen to them. 
My dogs are my babies. I love my pets and I really dont care if you are rolling your eyes right now but they are a huge part of my family. Thats how I was raised and its how I will raise my daughter. A dog is mans best friend. 
Luckily, I didnt have to cry all day. About three hours after they went missing they just walked back into the yard. 
Crisis averted! 
Thank GOD!!!!!!! 

After that I got a wonderful client, that at first was very concerned with the fact I was white. She told me about three times she just wanted her hair done right and wanted to make sure that I could do it and if I couldnt to please get a darker more experienced student. 
HOLD UP! 
Is this not 2012? Arnt we all heinz 57's at this point? Come the fuck on! 
So, instead of telling this woman exactly what I thought of her comment and her obvious racial issue, I killed her with kindness. I reassured her that I was very capable and just got started. She wanted her hair done with rollers and I even talked her into a manicure while her hair was drying. Before I even put the first roller in her hair it was like blinders were put on her eyes and she no longer saw me as the white girl doing her hair, I was the confident cosmetologist with funny stories. I love working through bullshit racist bullshit with a smile. 
When I was was done she lover her hair, she loved her nails, and she is coming back to get more done. 
I also got a ten dollar tip which will go right into my gas tank. SWEET! 
Today was a roller coaster and Im ready to just chill and get some sleep. 
How was yall day? Good? Bad? Ugly? Tell me about it.
