Impatience

"All I really want, is patience" - Alanis Morissette
Hey Miss Alanis, I totally agree with you. Everybody finds in themselves a quality that they don't so much like. Well, mine is definitely, for sure, without a doubt, impatience.

But why am I so impatient? I don't know! I wish I could give some simple answers but simple answers aren't quite my fortay haha. Let's see here, let me go e you some super interesting possibilities to my impatient attributes ( hence the sarcasm!)
-Waiting Is it so hard to have a timeline? I will rush my bottom off just so YOU don't have to wait on ME.
- Same old same old. Change is good! I have a hard time with repetitive actions, it gets terribly boring and I start going a little cuckoo in the noggin.
-Planning If there is something I can look forward too, like days away, I can't sleep. I get so excited and look so forward to it my body goes into hyper active mode. Let time fly faster! Make it get here faster!!
-Life I swear it's getting the best of me. I don want to wait around for it to speed up anymore. I am ready for it now, bring it on! Full force, full speed ahead! I have my imaginary helmet on ready for any unnecessary actions it may throw at me. So come on life, let's get going!!!

And I know life should slow down, that's what everyone says right? Slow it down some because once it picks up, it won't ever slow back down. But I am so ready... I think, that is. I cannot wait to be done apprenticing, get out there, on my own 2 feet. Not like I'm not already but to really get out there and feel independent because as an apprentice your constantly under someone.

Alright so Miss Impatient Meghan here are some things to remember:
- Impatience is ok, but jeeze Louise, it will all be good and ok in the end.
-Take life by he horns and embrace it, each minute, moment and person you pass by.
-Remember you are who you are and you will be who you deserve to be.








"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

Out There?

6 Years ago I graduated high school. 6 YEARS, what?! In 6 years I have near accomplished a lot, finished a lot, started new things a lot, met many people along the way, and still have not grasped the 'real world'. Something high school does not prepare you for is the 'real world'. They tell you to:
1. Graduate
2. Go to College
3. Get a Job
4. Get Married
5. Have Kids


Why? Is there this timeline that we are following that we HAVE to do this and we HAVE to do that before  our time runs out and we won't be allowed to be successful? Alright so I can check off 1, 2 and 3. But, I'm not finished 2 and 3 yet. I can just feel it. Maybe I want to go back to school, finish off my teaching degree,  and get a new job, a different job. It's not that I don't enjoy hairstyling, maybe it's because I feel soooooooooooo unsuccessful with it, that I haven't fullfilled my feeling of accomplishment yet? 


So with that being said, what else is out there? What else can I do? I like to try new things, experiment, get creative and  pull stuff out of my invisible hat. My mother has said maybe I just like school way to much. Maybe it's a safe harbour for me, maybe I like the pressure of papers and the stability of a schedule? So yep, I want to go back to school, take some online courses, finish up my teaching so I can instruct hairstyling at aUniversity level? 


Here is the thing. I say that I am going to do that, I put my mind to it...and then to actually go through with it..HA! That's another story. Something myself and my youngest brother and I have in common, we need that push. Just give me a little nudge, a tap on the shoulder, go on, then I will listen. 


Or maybe I just need a new job? Like I have said, I do enjoy what I do...for the most part. It's hard to actually feel successful when I am just so incredibly and utterly bored with what I am doing. Hairstyling was supposed to be my niche...umm, I have yet to feel that. The job, the people, the clients, the atmosphere. Of course it is all taken into consideration....but to move on, that's the next step.


But! Stop complaining! Life is good, your people are good, your mind is full and your body is healthy. Go take on the world and try to figure out...what is out there?

Try this DIY!

Simple DIY?? Um, yes please.
Remember one of my first posts about simple, clean, white pieces?? Well..dun dun dunnnn, an uber easy one, that is by far one of my favorite things yet!

First things first, head out to your favorite local discount store.. Mine being V V Boutique. To all you who don't understand my language, Value Village! And as your browsing through objects, or in my case hastily sifting through things, you may come across a super ugly mirror. But of course, this retched piece is calling my name louder and louder.....mmmeegghannn....megghhannn....
So what do you do next? You buy the $5 mirror to a steal and take it home, because yep, you have a fabulous idea!!!
Just take a look at how ugly it is, buy notice the awesome artsy picture I go out of it :)



Next, decide whether you want to paint it black or white... It was a tough decision! Black would've looked awesome and totally fit me..but, simplicity overruled and white one!
So I pulled out my handy iPhone and rang up my roomie who conveniently works at Canadian Tire. The cheapest white spray paint that sticks to plastic, yep, Moe delivered, awesome man.

So after disassembling the mirror I laid it out on some newspaper to spray paint.



WARNING!! DO NOT DO THIS!!!

I learned the hard was as I went to do a second coat a couple hours later, there was stupid paper stuck allllll over it! Half hour later and the paper is peeled off, I decided to hang onto the mirror and spray another coat.
My hand ending up like this:



But boy did the mirror look nice air dryin on our fence.



NOTE TO SELF: remember this next time :)

But after it was a finished, reassembled, and hung on the wall, I couldn't be more pleased! It is everything I was hoping, and puts such a nice touch to any wall!!



Creativity is my best friend :)
