i smell like clorox

i had a special guest arrive at work today! it was such a shock to see this person as i was blow drying my client that i didn't even know what to say. he said he was just stopping by to say hello. upon leaving after making an appointment for a haircut, my client said that she thought he was totally into me. i laughed and then divulged the dirty details of the 10 year relationship roller coaster and she said the she wished he would 'balls up'. i laughed even more and went on my way blow drying her hair. oh the adventures i have had at work this week.

the really fun adventure was yesterday. as i mentioned i have joined an online dating site. it is hilarious for real. i signed up on a thursday night. friday morning i had 3 emails and 6 flirts from different guys. i laughed out loud and began to weed out the duds. anyway. there is this guy. his name will be c. c emailed me last week and we began to email back and forth. he is a really great guy! he gave me his number and i text him the next day. as we were 'talking' he asked if i would like to cut and color his hair. now most girls would shy away from dating a guy who colors his hair, but i do hair so it doesn't bother me in the least bit. i gave him the number to my salon and then he asked me out for dinner. i agreed and that was that. i got to work yesterday and saw his name on my books. i freaked out and told my friends...first mistake! i was booked solid that day so i really didn't have much time to think about it really. it wasn't until i went to lunch half an hour before his appointment that i started to get a little nervous. i ate my arby's in record time as everyone was counting down for me. 'aly it's 1:45 he is almost here' things to that effect. when they brought me his traveller my nerves came rushing and i trudged up to the waiting area. i called his name and he stood up and shook my hand. he was just as cute in person as he was in pictures. he was super tall...i guess i don't know anyone else who is 6 foot 5. he sat in my chair and work aly kicked in and i asked all the details of what he wanted for his hair and went to mix the color. everyone trickled into the break room to give me their two cents as to how he looked. i finished mixing, took a deep breath and went back to my station. i got right to work and the conversation began. he is pretty easy to talk to since i was in work mode. i applied his color and we chatted for the 30 minutes of processing time and we washed him out. i gave him a scalp massage and then cut his hair and he was on his way. my friend at the front desk told me today that as he was paying he kept looking back at me and smiling. so awkward to have the first time you meet a guy to be at your work! i'm sure that i acted like a goober, but i had that night to redeem myself when we went to dinner. and i won't go through the details of dinner. if you want to know them you can call me. i will say that it was good.

the whole point of that story is that it was really really really weird to meet him for the first time with all my friends/coworkers looking on. but really really really funny at the same time. the end.
