So I guess I just don't know what I am missing by not jumping on this new 'colon cleanse' rage. Or selling my old gold for cash. I don't need to 'enlarge' anything. And I don't need a great quote on car insurance.
Why, oh why, do I even check my email??? I'm wondering if people really make money on these internet spam-scam-schemes? And who are the people that fall for them? I decided that I would respond to one, put their address on the 'blocked senders' list and just email them once a minute for an hour or two asking why they are not responding to my email and telling them that time is running out.
Oh I finally got my California driver's license yesterday. That was actually easier than I expected because I was still in the system from the last time I lived here so it was just a renewal. But while I was waiting I was watching the announcements on the screen in Spanish. Hmmm. I understand alot more than I thought I did. I wasn't being nosey, but I was watching the young lady at the counter as she dealt with each customer and listening to her go back and forth between Spanish and English. It amazes me. I wonder what language she dreams in. And does she formulate her thoughts in one language and then speak in a different one or does she think in both. These are the things I occupy my brain with.
That, and Sudoku. Ever work those puzzles? I'm hooked.
I guess I am going to have to resign myself that I will need to spend my husband's hard earned money to get myself re-licensed to do nails in the State of California. I've had a license here before and even owned a salon. I am currently licensed in the State of Maine. But California says I have been gone too long and need to take the tests again. That's fine. But I can't get the study materials unless I enroll in a school, and the school wants money. Fair enough.
Since coming back here I have been ASTOUNDED in the nail art I see walking around. I think that's part of my frustration. I know how to do that and in most cases I do much better work. It's what I want from the bottom of my heart to do, but aside from the money there are a couple of drawbacks. I need a chunk of money to get started again because I couldn't transport volatile materials across country and without a current state license I can't purchase good quality materials. I won't use inferior products that are commonly sold to the public in beauty supply stores. My apartment complex will evict us if I am caught doing a business in my home and the State of California will never allow me to become licensed again at any point in the future if for any reason someone should turn me in. Dilema dilema. And if we were to buy a home like we are planning and I do nails in my own home and charge but am not licensed, how do I account for that on my taxes? Because, as my children will tell you, I am a big goody two shoes when it comes to stuff like that and I DON"T cheat the government.
What to do? What to do?
