Lorinda's Birthday

So yes, I had another birthday on July 17th. It was like any ordinary friday, went to work early, get off early, Taryn brings Brayden to my work and he goes home with me for the weekend.

Well, Taryn did come, with Sarah too and both kids. Sarah got out of the car to give me a hug and then whips this scarf off her neck and blind folds me. She demands my keys for my car and shoves me in Taryn's car. We take a short drive, I'm led out and then blind fold off. Wala, what is it? We are at a smoothie place. Ok, cool. I can go for a smoothie right about now. We go in, order, try to control Brayden from walking around with one flip flop on and then I mention that it will soon be time for Brayden to eat dinner so we better get to gettin'. Ok, we go out, I need Brayden's booster car seat, Taryn has me come to her car to get it and again I am blind folded and shoved in her car. They tell me, "you didn't think we were that cheap did you?". So we are off again.

Now if you have ever ridden with Taryn, you are no doubt a white knuckler. And here I am blind folded, I feel brakes several times, whipping to another lane, etc. I tell her I'm feeling dizzy without my sence of sight. She says were almost there. She stops and gets me out, Sarah meets us there. Off comes the blind fold and we are at my hair salon! Oh yeah! This is great! I've been wanting to get my hair done for a while and it is just never in the budget lately. I needed a trim and color BAD! I went in and sat down in that chair and at that very point I told Carrie, get rid of it, its yuk, I need a cut, use your creative freedom. I cut it off, not completely but a lot to me. It was tired, getting frizzy, I needed a change. After all I start a new job in 2 weeks!


I like the lighter color, the shaggy ends, that it takes years off my face. I have felt like a new person this past week. Thank you so much Taryn & Daniel!! You helped me feel like a new person!

Half way through my hair appt. Tim showed up in a shirt and tie, and yes pants too. He waited for me, gave me some roses and a sweet card and took me for an awesome Thai dinner. Sarah and Katie E. gave me some great things for my hair and skin care too. It was a great day :)

On the note of the new job, I will now be driving 4 miles round trip instead of 30 and got a $2 an hour raise plus have the potential to make commission. I will be working out of the local hospital with a company that has a contract with them. I'm happy for that, God does good work :)
