It Keeps Getting Better!

Countdown to GLAMINAR: ONL 15 DAYS!!!

Holy COW! That alone is enough for an endless amount of excitement.

But, on top of that, I received my acceptance letter from FDTC! That means I'm on the waiting list for the cosmetology program. Woo!!! I'm in!!!

Next step: Contacting my advisor and getting that in order.

I should be good to start the program Fall Semester 2011. The last "technicality" I have to take care of is getting my transcript from FMU and taking it to FDTC. Not bad at all. Just have to find time to make the drive and pay the $5 to get it. Then, I can really get the ball rolling!

I spent my evening last night (after a LONG walk with my puppy) reading up in some makeup/beauty books I bought a couple of weeks ago. Trying to pick up on some new little tips and tricks.

Also, treated myself to a set of cheap brushes for makeup application. Cheap because that's all I can afford right now, haha, and because I've never actually had a set of brushes like this. There's a blending brush and five other kinds and I'm still trying to figure out what to do with each of them! Before, I had an angled brush for my eyebrows and two brushes that looked suspiciously close to just plain old paint brushes that came in my theatrical makeup kit in college. Yes, to be so enthusiastic about makeup, I am certainly lacking in tools and practical knowledge. I've spent all my life applying makeup suited for the stage (dance recitals as a child, cheerleading, dance competitions as a teen, then plays in college). However, I'm still learning about every day makeup. But, I like to think that I am a quick learner!

Anyway, it's about time for me to head out of the house for work. It's FRIDAY! After work, I'm napping then heading out with my boyfriend to watch his band play in Wilmington, NC and hang out with some friends for the night! Tomorrow, he leaves with his band for tour. =( But, on the bright side, he'll only be gone for a week... which might seem like a really long time to some people, but we've been together for basically six years. I've known him for nine years. I've always known him to be in a band. This is normal life for me. I've stuck it out with him on tour for six weeks before! After that, a week seems like nothing. Then, once he gets home, I will be one week closer to the GLAMINAR! Ah!

Okay, I'm really signing off now. Must pour, cream, and sugar my coffee... find my shoes... and feed my dog.

Love!
