I had a big old break at work today. I went to Marshall's and bought a few of my usual tops. Mock turtleneck cotton blend. Black. I'm so boring when it comes to clothes. I tried on a bunch of black polyester slacks. Didn't find a pair that fit right. Black is my work 'uniform'. Black shoes and a black smock complete the look. It works for me. I made myself not look at anything Christmas at Marshall's. I have enough stuff for two homes. I'm at Panera's now, using their Internet. Didn't buy anything...I don't think they noticed. I'll be leaving in a few minutes to go back to work for my last client, a highlight and cut.

My friend Kathy came in the salon this morning for her cut and color. She brought me a decaf latte and homemade olive focaccia bread. What a treat. I've been meaning to write about Kathy and here I am. She's been a client and friend for years. An avid reader, gardener, teacher, and writer. And she's about as funny as they come. She started a blog a while ago, but I guess it didn't hook her like it did some of us (who me?) Anyway, she's changed her ways and been writing every single day, and she's good. You've probably noticed her visiting your blogs, but maybe didn't know we were friends? Well, now you know. Her post today had me laughing out loud in Panera's. I'd love it if you stopped by her blog and said hello.

Time to run. Later!
