One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President’s Secret Service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner. Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, “Why was he so interested in talking to you?” She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “So if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant,” to which Michelle responded, “No. If I had married him, he would now be the President.”
My mom and stepdad, Ben, are paying for nail school!!!!
This is huge. HUGE!!
I need 50 hours more to complete my CA certification, but those measly 50 hours will cost me around $1,200 all told. Twelve hundo big ones I have not. And I only have to pay back half!!!
I honestly can’t write about this without tearing up. I have a hard time asking for help or accepting money, but dammit, I’m taking this gift.
See how everything starts to work out when you follow your happiness?
Now please excuse me while I go cry tears of joy into my coffee.
In my search for possible nail-ternatives in completing my CA hours, I came across the OPI scholarship program. On the list of approved schools was Marinello, which has locations all over the country.
I called, and set up an appointment for last Friday, which I ended up having to reschedule for tomorrow, Tuesday.
Today I receive a call from a female representative from Marinello that went something like this.
Answered on Speaker with my friend Todd, a stylist & former student, there to witness.
MARINELLO REP Ms. McCarthy, you had an appointment with us today to see the school, which you missed…
ME Oh! I’m so sorry. But I think we said Tuesday. I wrote down Tuesday.
MARINELLO REP (WITH LOTS OF ATTITUDE) I WILL ASSUME YOU ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED.
(Then why are you calling me?)
ME Did you hear what I said?
MR No, I did not. (Because I was berating you.)
ME I said I thought we had agreed on Tuesday. I’m very sorry for the confusion.
MR Well, I assume you are no longer interested since you have now missed TWO APPOINTMENTS.
(Nope. I missed none.)
ME You’re throwing a lot of attitude at me…
MR What did you say?
ME I said you’re throwing a LOT of attitude my way. So no, I’m no longer interested.
MR My boss is sitting here, and I’m not throwing attitude at you. I’M SORRY IF YOU FEEL THAT WAY. Good bye. *click*
SHAI - YOURS (A CAPELLA) This was the song that played when Jonathan Brandis got with Kellie Martin on that very sexy episode of SeaQuest DSV and I was never the same.
PJ HARVEY - DOWN BY THE WATER This song is NOT called Little Fish Big…
