You know that feeling?
The before you get the long overdue {blog}haircut feeling?
Haggard looking, ratty hair, tired eyes, ratty hair (did I say that already?). I don't even do my bloggy hair. It's between that stage of is your hair straight OR curly? Cause I can't tell.
I kept eying out that {blog}salon. And I can't justify (yet) that I can spend the money.
One day, I get tax money back and I say...
Girl, you DESERVE a present.
And so I take the plunge into April Showers blogsalon.
And let me tell you. I wait, excited, for them to call my name.
"Would you like some hot tea while you wait?"
Why yes I would.
"Hand massage? April's just finishing up with her last zillion clients."
Don't mind if you do.
And finally...my name is called and the magic begins.
You know the rest....we talk, we shampoo, I fall asleep cause any mother who gets a head massage is going down...and then the cut. And I walk out a different woman.
****************
Those that have been around me awhile, knows it looks a little different. And I'm glad!
God Bless April and her incredible patience.
The amount of email back and forth with the following...
Umm...can my husband...
Oh uh, can my kid...
Uh, Uh, about the dog...
Otay, how about the layout...
Sigh.
If I were her I'd be banging my head on whatever hurt the most.
Maybe she did.
Whichever, we finally completed it to the point where I completely smiled and clapped my hands like my 2 year old when I give her a cookie.
And I told April that this would be THE I LOVE APRIL SHOWERS FOREVER post. :)
Thanks April!!!
32 ramblings of your own:
Tee hee! *gleaming* Thank you!!! That was a confidence booster :D

I love the new look - it's a great design and I hope you love it for a long time.
That's so great!
Except, apparently my family thinks I stupid. I had a feeling, but a little harsh in black and white, you know?
(WV - disters! Looks like he knew too, sniff)
It's lovely darling...just lovely.
okay...that's really cool. Love the way the mini-you is sitting just like you!
I totally love it (and consequently am EXTREMELY jealous)! Good job April!
Love it! It is adorable! I want one!! No, really, yours is the best I've seen so far.
Aw I love your new layout, girlfriend!!!
Really pretty!!

Great new look! Congrats. Great creative post, too.
I found her a week or so ago. She does great work. Once I get an idea of what I want, I'm going to have her fancy my place up a bit.
Your blog looks great, by the way. And I added your button to mine. :)
looks awesome! I am SO jealous
Love it, love it! I'm in line at the salon for an illustration and I'm wicked excited! Did I just say "wicked excited?" Yeah, I did.
Looking good! I am so attached to my blog-do that I can't imagine changing it already. Maybe I'll change the photos some time, but those are my favorite ones!
LOVE IT!!!!! And now I am firmly convinced that I need her services! You look FABU! :) HUgs!!
This is so cute! I love the new look!
You look fabulous after your make-over. Definitely worth the extra back and forth. The final product rocks!
I also love how your couch is on a sandy beach next to the water...it is just like mine.

Perfect! Love it!
Super cute do :) ... LOL I love to get something special for myself. I can't seem to remember the last thing I got, but still ... ha-ha
Glad you are pleased with it....Like I said before.....why isn't mr Rambler dragging some wires and a computer and headset thingy? =) April did a good job!44444
Can't see your header right now for some reason, but if it looks like your button... How cute! I've been thinking of having her do an illustration for me. Just haven't decided if I want the whole "up do" or just the graphic to put it together myself.
I can see the header now... how cute! Would love to live by the water too, but stuck in the Midwest... what's a girl to do?
April is awesome! She will be doing my second blog soon! I can't wait:0)
Looks wicked.
Your blog looks great! I'm waiting to get mine done too.
-FringeGirl

PS- I am SOOOO jealous of you and your haircut.. my hair is BEGGING to be cut--- I just havent found the time... o yea, or a good hair dresser.
