What is it they say? The early fish catches the bird? Or was it the worm catches the early fish? Or bird...ear..ly....fish...tree... oh hell, nevermind! It is EARLY! It's an early post for once. And not my usual 'post midnight' kind of early, but a true, honest to goodness MORNING post.

I'm a little in shock with myself right now, I'm not going to lie. This coffee of mine is mocking me quietly on the desk telling me I'm a blathering idiot and to stop what I'm doing and drinkkkkk moooooreee. I swear these Tim Hortons coffees should come with little 'drink me' notes just like the potions in Alice in Wonderland.

It is one dark and moody looking Monday, complete with complimentary rain. It's better than snow though right?! Right. Oh no... I just said snow. I have jinxed us all!

ROOTS STUFF! Yesterday was our annual Fun Razor, and this year we were raising money for Jenn. I wrote about in this here bloggie earlier in the month... well I am not sure about the exact amount that was raised, but I will update this post when I find out :) I wasn't able to make it here yesterday due to feeling extremely ill and trying to get stuff done inbetween laying down. I'm not asking for cheese to go with my whine, but I did want to be here for the event and for that, I'm whining.

I'm hoping everyone took pictures and have stories to share. I'm sure I'll hear more as the day rolls on!

I never know what I think about something until I read what I've written on it.

*time warp*

It's 2 hours after I started writing this post. Time flies when people want to get beautified! It's great that it's busy today, that means lots of people are telling Monday where to shove it, and doing stuff they enjoy!

I have a bit of a 'photo dump' to do, so I'll start here and post a couple of my faves from the past week. One is of Anthony and his client thugging it out, and a couple more shots of her AMAZING hair!



The other is of the beautiful Annierose with mud and seaweed on her face... I know, I know. I was super impressed with her for letting me take this photo. Not only letting me, mind you, but actually telling April to come get me to take the photo. This girl knows me... I like the compromising shots *devil grin* Thanks babes, you're the best wifey ever!

I will be updating later tonight as well with my Stumbles, and then tomorrow with more photos and some updates on the Fun Razor! I also know who I am featuring this coming Friday for my second 'Roots Personalities'. I'm not going to tell you, it's MY secret, MINE! My precciiiouuussss! You only have to wait a few more days, suck it up princesses! :D

I just realized I've been writing this post for about 3.5 hours now, and that means I'm too busy to be writing, which means I should probably make like cars at a red light and just STOP.

(would you believe I came back an hour after writing that last sentence?... apparently I didn't stop and I got a ticket for running the red light. Le sigh.)

*screeches to a halt at the next set of lights and ends post*

Thank you for calling (talk to you later tonight shhhh...)!

So I totally had a bunch of photos I wanted to put in this post, but lo and behold my computer has decided to throw a temper tantrum and quit recognizing my camera, ergo, no photos today! I shall scold, punish and threaten my computer within an inch of its life tomorrow, then send it to the corner for ten minutes to think about what it has done, and after that we should be good to go for photos! Sorry folks, apparently computers can get hormonal too!

Today was a great day of plotting future goodness at ye ol Roots Salon with Ida, Staysea and Annierose. I only worked for a couple of hours due to a massive migraine that's been plaguing me for a few days. I think Andrew spiked my coffee at work hoping that I would stay away and not be able to report his shinnanigans. Or, perhaps it was Anthony trying to keep me away for a while until he gets the perfect hair style to rawk and feels 100% film star ready.

I have to apologize folks. I promised you a video tonight, and I don't have one to serve! I am a dirty, filthy HORRIBLE liar! I feel terrible, and I am super sorry! Just so you know though, it -is- in the finishing stages of being rendered and WILL be here tomorrow!

How-de-hooooo!

It's been a great night over here! I've been having an uplifting evening of sipping warm drinks and watching news footage of the Chilean miners being rescued. It's been so inspirational, emotional and... GOOD! News that makes you feel happy? Wait... WHAT? impossible! I am having a hard time going to bed because I am so captivated by the footage, and I don't want to miss seeing one more come up safe and alive.

The happy story of the miners seems to completely overshadow anything I have to say today, just because in light of mass rescues that are complete success stories, most things seem trivial. I know they are not all rescued yet, but I know they will be!

But you don't need my reporting on the issue, I'm sure most of you have been watching as well. It's all over the place, as it should be!

I do however have my own piece of epic news to report... my eyebrows are waxed! I finally had April tame those beasts. I made the mistake of tweezing my own about a month ago, and I did a horrible job! They looked like two very misshapen, very odd, very deformed caterpillars. I kid you not. This is not comedy central, I'm dead serious. Anthony did a fantastic job of recording the entire saga of this epic eyebrow transformation, and I will have it posted for you tomorrow. I am putting myself out there for ridicule, and for a visual lesson in why you should never, never, EVER, attack your own face with metal pinchers.

April is an eyebrow master. She takes those eyebrows, whoops their arses and makes them behave and sit like a lady! She sent my eyebrows to bootcamp and they came back very obedient!

I am very overtired at the moment. It's been a great day, with a slight sleepless night trailing behind it. The combination of the two, with a side of 10+ coffees, have left me extremely hyper and yet so very tired. It's an interesting contradiction, but going to sleep soon is probably for the best... maybe?

I do want to rest up because I am working at the Comox location first thing in the morning, and I don't want to have to greet our beautiful clients with the groggy eye! In case you were just wondering, groggy eye kind of looks like this...

That would be bad, amirite?

Oh, and in case you've noticed weird words with links in my blog, they all link to my 'Sadieisms dictionary'. What the hell is that you say? Well, I tend to make up words, or use two words, mutilate them horribly and then string them together to form a completely unintelligible word that scholars all over the world would wince at. However, being that I do it regardless of said wincing, I decided to put a little dictionary up for you to reference when you don't know what I am going on about. Enjoy or mock, no extra charge!

One last thing before I drag my sorry self off to beddy bye land; I took some random photos today in the salon as well, and I will share one with you. It was one of my favorites from today, and is oozing with hotness. I will leave you with this photograph of miss Annierose, Andrew and April the Eyebrow Ninja!


I promise to post a much more detailed, and slightly more embarrassing post on the morrow. You have my word. WORD!

Thank you for calling!

Hello to all of you out there in 'internetz' land!

I know it's been a while since the last update, but I absolutely promise you there is a very good reason behind that! I have been busy whipping up a new layout for this blog *gently pats it*

The layout you see before your very eyes consists of 2 parts vision, 1 part sweat, 3 parts headache, 5 parts sore eyes and 10 parts determination. It is the product of me rising from the ashes of web design, where I put myself to rest five years ago. It's a whole new world out there in graphic design/coding land, so it was especially interesting creating this out of a generally basic, and slightly archaic, knowledge of how these things work.

It's not 100% awesome yet... I still have a few tweaks and adjustments to make coding wise, so please, if something is broken for you, not aligned correctly, popping out at you and waggling it's tongue, do comment and let me know so I can fix it.

Other than the above, I've also been busy at the lovely salon I call my second home. We're all crazy and happy, save for a handful of us that have come down with some sort of plague, for lack of a dramatic tone, how about we use the term 'cold'.

Save for a pretty nasty flu (See: not a cold) that I had a couple of weeks ago, I'm doing ok and I don't seem to be coming down with it. A couple of my poor fellow receptionist gals, miss Annierose and Crystal-lee, have been stricken however.

Despite the germ army invading our staff, we're all slugging through it and working as usual.

I've been collecting video footage so I can put together a little bit of a goodie bag of hilarity for you all, so that is something to look forward to! I look forward to sharing it with you so you can see what I see on a daily basis!

I did, however, steal a nice little photo of our famed and loved Anthony Hepburn, sporting a rather stylish and in your face hairdo!

In other news, there is a buzz going around the salon these days. Something about an epic photo shoot! I have to remain tight lipped about it, but I promise, if I can leak something out to you... I will. Shhhhh, don't tell!

I'm going to run and play with this layout a bit more, but I just wanted to give a shout out to all of you and let you know that the proverbial ball is rolling! And hey, you can follow this blog using the 'follow' section over yonder to your left, and there is a handy little RSS feed icon to the left and slightly up a bit.

I fail at directions for the most part, so if you just got lost... I apologize.

Until next time my lovelies!

Thank you for calling,
♥Sadie
