so despite the risk that my henna'd hair may turn green if it was dyed over, i turned it over to the colorist and told her i wanted deep sangria burgundy red hair with copper and red rock highlights. i've never been happier with my hair..wish the length was there but at least there's something interesting to look at now. it gets me back in glam mode. i've been wearing torn sarongs and no makeup for far too long. hair color changes everything.

i dont miss dyeing things yes. i do like staring at colors and thinking about it but this week my brain has been consumed with checking on nursing jobs of where i'd LIKE to work in an ideal situation. TY and i have placed a friendly challenge on each other that I will get a better paying job before he does, if that is the case he may just work part time or not at all, and watch the baby. there are , of course, quite a number of opportunities in arizona, last night i made a list of links i'd like to explore. i sure can't do that while i'm listing things on etsy. it's gotta be one or the other. interesting..my chinese horoscope said i would be making a significant career change this year that would lead to more financial security. TY and i know that if we both worked full time (him in his job and my job as a nurse) that we could pay off our new house in under two years. i could work full time to do that. even back in nursing jobs i'm not so thrilled about i could do that again, for a year, to pay off a house.

dropping akai back to part time or fun only would take a lot of pressure off ..i could clock out at the end of the day and go home and not have to answer emails or give up another weekend to dye things. i know that sounds pretty spoiled but i have not really had much time off for the past ten years. some people think when you run your own business you have freedom and can choose to not work. in many cases that's true but in most cases you end up working more. and feel guilty if you are not working.

ok not that akai is going bye bye forever. just a break. hiatus. still squeak out a few things when needed but instead focus on a career where i am still working with women and helping them to feel beautiful, but in a different way. healing but with something other than silk.
