What day is it? What is my name? Where am I?! WHO ARE YOU!?

That weekend flew by, and half of it was wrapped in a haze called 'Christmas Party'. We had a great time at Joe's Garage, and pretty much everyone showed up which is always awesome. There was so much food, and all of it was finger food, so that was perfect for mingling and grabbing the odd snack throughout the night. My eyes were bigger than my stomach at first and after the first plate of food was consumed, I was STUFFED. So much better than being hungry, but oh wow was I full!

I got some pictures, but I am waiting to see the pictures Andrea got. Her camera was working a bit better in the low light conditions inside the venue, and she got some 'gooduns'! I got some good ones from the after party of the party part of the evening. Andrea said she will let me gank the photos from her camera on Wednesday, but I'll throw up some of my Gullivers footage when I get home for you guys :)

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but you must understand that my head was feeling a bit like a pound of bricks just fell on it, and my body felt as if I threw it in front of a train, and the train sped up just before impact.... maybe that's a bit over the top, but maybe not. I barely got out of bed to be honest!

Oh and the stylist that still has to give me her answers STILL hasn't given them to me, so we will all blame her for procrastinating! I will harass her some more, and prod her with a big stick, and possible dangle delicious treats that she can't have until she submits and gives me her answers!

So yeah, just wanted to update you on the weekend and let you know what's up. It's a REALLY quiet day here today, so if you want to come visit with us and keep us from shedding tears of woe that would be awesome. If not, we still love you and totally understand!

I'm going to finish devouring this delicious scone that the lovely April got for me, and I will blog you later with pics and more updates from the bestest salon ever!

Happy Monday beautifuls!

Thank you for calling,

So the weekend is over, which means a new week full of fun, fabulous hair and fantastic people shall commence in approximately 8.5 hours! I get the privilege of opening up the Courtenay location as the grand opening of the week to follow. You may think I'm crazy for updating so late, but I was just plotting my day at work tomorrow and felt like running to the blog to share my thoughts with you guys.

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!

A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila.

I have something fantastic that I am going to post on Friday. Remember when I said I was going to start profiling one staff member per week? Well this is the week it starts! We have a new recruit amongst us, and his name is Jared. He is apprenticing with Roots to become a hair stylist extraordinaire! We only produce the best don't'cha know! So far he has done a lot of cleaning up behind us and getting our lunches, the poor thing. It sounds like we practice the whole college hazing thing with our new staff doesn't it? It's not true I swear! We don't give him wedgies or make him streak down 5th street naked in the snow... yet.. *cough*... I mean, no, we would neeeeeever do that!

But in all seriousness, he's going to be a great stylist, we can tell already! And that is why I have chosen him to be my first to profile :) Stay tuned for that Friday at some point, probably after dinner time. You can all get to know him a little better and start booking your appointments now, because once he hits the floor I'm sure he'll be a popular lad!

OH! And I've been struggling with my computer (yeah, yeah... more compie struggles I'm afraid) to get a nice chunk of video edited and tied together in a nifty little package for you all. (Pro Tip: Never get in to editing video with a PC. Always go MAC) I -hope- to have that up sometime very soon, maybe within the week, hoorah!

We have a reception meeting at 8am on Friday. I am not sure how productive my brain will be that early in the day though. I've never been known to function at full capacity that early on in the day, but maybe I can communicate through a series of grunts, hand gestures and eye movement (reminiscent of REM sleep perhaps?) and get my ideas across. Wish me luck! And wish those I will be in the meeting with luck as well, they will need it to intemperate my somewhat primitive form of morning communication.

That's it for today. Just a quick update on the good things to come, and an apology for my bratty computer!

Oh... and I also have a very silly video of Michael that involves booty shaking and dancing... that is coming soon too. I know, I know, you can't wait! Neither can I!

I leave you with a cell phone photo of Annierose trying to eat and/or murder Anthony. She isn't normally this homicidal I promise, just stay on her good side and you will be ok!

And remember, here at Roots we would 'curl up and dye for you'.... oh snap, bad joke for the win!

*blows kiss*

Thank you for calling!
