Favorite Pieces

Monday was pretty busy..I took Henry to have his haircut and he looks so handsome! It did take 4 hours and I don't know why..I usually cut his hair in the backyard and it's takes an hour to bathe, cut, trim,blow dry, and brush. If you know the answer just let me in on it! I found pillows for our new couch too! They're cute and the lady gave me her discount so it only cost 18 dollars which I know the hubby will love. It's odd that people think I'm rich just because of my purse and clothes from Korea that may or may not be the real product. Today I received a hand written note from Nordstroms thanking me for shopping with them.. hmmm, but I'm not complaining :] If anyone asks I'm happy to tell them my things are form Korea!

Monday we also went to H Mart which was awesome and I want to go back soon! It's basically Korea ville with all the shops, food, and market. My mom and I had bulgogi and I went home with chilsung cider and yaki mandoo :] I didn't take pictures because my camera needed to be charged and I left straight from picking up the pooch. Next time there will be pictures..I promise!

I made enchilada's again..and now I have a recipe for rice which I am eager to try out! Thanks Mom in law! Her rice is so Delicious you could eat it forever and still want more. Brought the food to work today and the coworkers loved it..thank goodness. My day was pretty busy too and had done some fun hair. After work my cousin stopped by to drop off my San Disk and it was nice to visit. He's getting married in July and I can't wait!

Tomorrow I'm having my roots done in the morning because this weekend I'm going to Abilene! Visiting our apartment which they should be finishing building, looking around town, and OH finding my future job! I have to put my portfolio together and I will start and finish it tomorrow. Hope it's good enough a lot of my favorite pieces are not in there..ahem my clients. I started taking pictures a few weeks ago and haven't seen everyone.Drew is almost home and I can't wait! Just counting the days now..60+ woo hoo!

Jot Down Anything

I always wait until the very end of the day to write in my blog, that way I can write about everything that happened. I've been waiting too late and falling asleep before I can jot down anything. New game plan is to post after work/dinner. Now that we have that figured out..haha moving along. Today was Valentine's Day woo hoo..my hubby was gone again, but did send me the best gifts ever! (check out the pictures below)

Yesterday I bought a Snuggie, I have to say it's the best thing ever! It's a blanket with sleeves..haha but it's also a robe turned backwards. I did save 5 dollars and it came with the free reading light. :] My boss also broke his hand when he tripped over the basketball goal we gave him :[ That's not a good thing to break when you're a barber. Hope it heals soon because he refuses to wear a cast! Here was my view as I left the parking lot.

..and I must leave you with this picture of Henry, this is how he really feels about our cat!

Love, Peace, Chicken Grease Kate E. Did

Sugar & Spice

Today was just so exciting...I'm being a little sarcastic here. Went to work and felt this awful pain in my side to where I couldn't even stand. Went to the doctor, but of course the Dr. isn't in on Thursday afternoons..(what?) yes! I ended up in the ER and left with a new kidney stone :[ I have had kidney stones since October and I can't wait until they are gone for good! Later I went back to work to do a color and 3 more cuts in a few hours and off to home.

I gave our old basketball post to my boss for his son, and Travis was beyond excited :] We finally figured out how to cram it in the SUV and I ran inside to see what was in the box my husband sent me! It was my Valentine's gift and the gifts are beautiful!!!!! Drew gave me a very nice box with silver Korean spoons and chopsticks with an ornate design at the bottom of each utensil!! ...and a bbbbbbeautiful black mother of pearl jewelry box with love birds on the top and played traditional Korean music. The inside is luxurious with red velvet and the outside has an unusual lock where you put the key all the way through the middle and twist :] I love them..a lot he's the best husband in the world...everr!

I also received two cars this year!! One was full of sugar and the other full of spice :]

Kate E. Did have a good Valentine's!!!!

What else happened today..my no show color that I was excited about..and my dad brought fried chicken home for dinner yummy :] I have an appointment early in the morning and am ohh so tired.

Wish You Were Here

Ello Mates


Coming to you live from Dallas :] Today I sent off Drew's Love Box! I'm very excited for him to open it up!!! It's filled with snacks, baked cookies and brownies, books&cd's, and other things I cannot say until he opens it up :] After that I went to the furniture store to make a payment, I can't wait until we own our furniture and decorate the apartment! 70ish more days and he'll be mine! Also went to the bank and over to the Verizon store to check out phones. Drew and I need our own plan and will probably get the blackberry storm :] Verizon has a sale buy one get one free until March..it's $199 but it does everything and more.


Here are my outfits I bought for the job interviews..not really worn together..I just threw it all on. Especially the shirt under the sweater..haha. I'm some what pasty due to the winter please ignore skin tone!

I made enchilada's for dinner..practicing for when the man's home! I made 3 pans MMMMM.
I still need a good recipe for rice :/ any suggestions? I have to ask Grandma Tula <3.I'm off to scrub pots and pans..wish you were here! Kate E. Did

Raise Your Hand

Life inside the music box ain't easy

The malots hit, the gears are always turning

And everyone inside the mechanism

Is yearning to get out

I love Regina Spektor!

whew! Another Saturday over and all has gone smoothly :] I really could dedicate this blog to the nightmares and happiness of a hairstylists daily life. Today I had 3 color & cut clients, 3 men's haircuts, 1 shampoo and style and 2 women's cuts. I love busy days and being able to be creative! Next time you have your hair done..tell your stylist she can do whatever she wants, it's ultimately what we want to hear :]

I've been busy baking cookies and trying to keep Henry away! He loves anything that he shouldn't have or eat...especially cookies :[ Chocolate chip is the name of the game because they are Drew's favorite. I'm really, really..no really..excited about one of the gifts I found today! It's more of a family joke, but it will put a smile his face :] He reads my blog too bad I can't post..

If you read my blog raise your hand! Kate E. Did

Busy Busy

Busy busy with clients..taking pictures for my portfolio and getting ready for job searching. Finished my resume and bought cute interview outfits at Nordstroms : pictures will come!!

As I said before, the shop was broken into and a couple of others on our shopping strip. Some punk kid.. :[ still need clippers and still inhaling powder. Never shoot an extinguisher just for..OH..fun.

The powder is so fine and when you try to sweep, a cloud of dust arises. It took all day to clean the surface and we still have to vacuum the walls and strip the floor of build up..ewww.

Here is the break area..you can clearly see the bottom of the table has not been touched yet, but everything else had already been swept at least once! Those poor couches :[

..and the bathroom..everything had to go! The toilet paper and all. He broke the cabinets too only to find cleaning supplies..DUH! what else would be locked up in the bathroom?

I took some pictures of my brother too..here is my brother Matt. He's single ladies :]
I do read your blogs and need to leave you comments! I've been a slacker.

Hope your week was better! Kate E. Did

Well I'll tell you all about it tomorrow! I'm exhausted and going to sleep..my body has powder filtering through it..ACHOO! and goodnght!

25 Things

Super Bowl Sunday! My husband and I were on the phone together all during the game, but in Korea it's Super Bowl Monday! I was rooting for the cardinals and Drew was neutral..I guess we both lost :[ Funny thing was..we had a 10 second delay so Drew would say any facts or any plays coming that they were talking about! You had to be there :] While I was "watching" the game..I started on my John Wayne portrait..still in the works, but should be done soon!
