Metro Beauty Academy: Grandma Goes Glam!

Before and After

Over the hill and through the woods to Grandma Sherry's House we go! Currently, I am going

to school full time for Cosmetology. My lovely Grandmother kindly volunteered herself for my very first test in Color Theory. All tests ar done after each 6 week class rotation and must be performed on real people. We took a Before-And-After shot of Grandma, and I think she looks 15 years younger in her After shot. What a difference color can achieve, and I've come to realize color is one of my passions in life. I am learning how to cut hair now and can't wait to master the art of cutting and using shears.

You go, Grandma Sherry! No one will ever be able to tell your age with that new hairdo!

Halloween @ The Spinnerstown Hotel

My best friend since 1st grade has been a lifesaver for me recently.She was kind in hiring me at The Spinnerstown Hotel, so I can make some extra money on the side while pursuing school
full time. Spinnerstown is great to work for because it's family owned and has the friendliest atmosphere. The best part: We get to drink after our shifts are done!!! After work on Halloween, I sipped my boring Yuengling and Kate enjoyed her Carmel Light beer. We "sort of" celebrated Halloween but we were really celebrating Kate's birthday! I can't believe she has turned 27, and I'll be turning that very same age as well. Time flies! On this evening we talked about all the years we dressed up as kids, different costumes, but I came to the conclusion that if I wasn't trying to be a princess, than I would give up and just be a witch! I realized I looked forward to to the endless supply of candy instead! There were plenty of local yocals who came out to drink, all dressed up for the occassion, but the very best costume award belonged to the man in a pirate suit. He was very convincing, he acted like a pirate, even walked like one, but I think if I were a little kid right then and there, I would have been scared!!!! Oh, the joys of Halloween!

Dinner with Friends: Dennis, Ivy & Nicole

Dennis and Nicole have been good friends of mine
since 2006...since that fateful February I walked into
that giant home improvement store to apply for
a position with Lowe's of Quakertown, PA!!! The greatest part
about my experience at Lowe's were not only the paychecks
earned but the many friendships I came to form.

Dennis, Nicole and I had a wonderful steak and potato dinner
with a healthy but good tasting salad-with vegetables grown
right from Dennis's garden- and plenty of wine to go around!

We had a fun and entertaining evening, and I plan to
keep our dinner parties a tradition.
