A Serendipitous Kind Of Day!

I've had such an AMAZING day!!!! OK, so get this.....I had a 10:30am appointment at Asha Salon over at Woodfield. Well, I didn't realize my clocks at home are behind. I swear! Anyway, I get in the car it's 10:15am. I'm speeding, hoping I'd make it there in 15 minutes. Screech! Traffic! In the middle of the day, right by Deer Park. So I call, I'm on hold, nice announcement. BTW, Rene your voice is still on there... hold, hold, hold, OK so they finally get back on. I told them I'll be 15 minutes late. She puts me on hold, {whistling here}, hold.....she gets back on and tells me that if I get there in less than 15 minutes, she'll just do a cut, that's it. If later than 15 minutes, I'll have to come back another time. What?!?!? I'm paying you $65 for a haircut?!? $@#&* Sorry Charlie. Sorry Rene, I know you like her, but come on.....

So, I turn around, and drove by Avalon @ Deer Park. Posh place, not bad, I looked at prices, not bad. So I asked if they had someone available. Yep! Crystal at 11:30am. It's 10:30am so what do I do?!? What's a girl to do at a strip mall?!?!?!? Care to guess?!?

Yep, I went to Pier 1. They're having an awesome sale. I found suede throw pillows regularly at $35 a piece for $6 a piece! I got two! Then I saw an espresso coffee table regularly at $350 for $42! Yes, you heard it right. SOLD!!! Ok, so I don't want to miss another haircut appointment so I told her I'll pay now but I'll pick it up after my hiarcut. She said, no problem. I go for my haircut. She gives me a scalp massage! WOWOWOWOWOW! Love that!!! Oh she was amazing! I got a fantastic haircut. Lookie at what she did for $50!!! Crystal, I'm going back to you girl! You're awesome!!!

So about an hour later, I go back to Pier 1 to pick up my coffee table. Cheryl, the saleslady tells me that she found the matching console table still all boxed up regularly at $275 for guess what?!?!?!? $30!!!! Yeah, baby!!! SOLD!!! Talk about serendipity. All because my clocks are all off! ROFL LMAO!!!

I'm one happy girl. So do you like my haircut?!?
