BOMB THREATS AND SUPER BOWLS






Well well well....another day another stress! I had a great week. Minus the bomb threat at Cal State Northridge (Thankfully, I was at work!) Apparently someone stated there was a bomb on CSUN's campus in one of the parking structures. They closed and evacuated campus for a day and that was that. That kinda freaked me out a little bit. I mean we hear of violence within schools and think how horrible, but when it actually happens to your school, it really hits home. I seriously did not want to come to school today. I would totally rather work!!!! And speaking of work, I think that I had the longest week ever, i was actually quite busy at work. Had a couple of mishaps, but who wouldn't after getting up at 4:45 and going to school and then working a full day. That, I thought would drop me flat, but I am a Berman RIGHT* So I sucked it up, pulled through and made it work!!!! (Thanks Tim Gunn).
In lighter news.....I was qualified for the final round of consideration at Cal State Long Beach, so i hopefully won't have to get up at 4:45 on Mondays and
Wednesdays. I should only have 2 more semesters after th
is cur
rent one and that thought gets me through many many days! I love life and what I do, but, I am so ready to be finished with school! I am being worked to the bone and can't wait to get my degree. I have been working on weddings and my usual clients and friends and family. I am trying to get into doing bridal hair and events of the sort. I love the flurry of goings on and the rush to beautify and the final result just takes my breath away!


This is Megan and her husband Mark from their Wedding on the Queen Mary January 9, 2010!

I was able to do the entire Bridal party, the Bride and both the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom. It was such a beautiful day and a beautiful event! I hope that I am able to do more events of the like! SO MUCH FUN*****


And Speaking of hilariousness, did anyone see the DORITOS super bowl commercials? Seriously, the others could not keep up, doritos knocked it out of the park! And GO SAINTS!!!! Way to spank the Colts.......And after being down in the first quarter!!!! WAY 2 GO*** I could not have picked a better game for the super bowl, seeing as I love both teams but thankfully my saints took the title! So Shockey, Brees and Bush You boys kicked some serious bootay*** THANK YOU***** I could not be happier! And speaking of happy.............6 dayz until our 1 year anniversary.....who would have thought that after a year I would still have my honey! Well well well.....I can only imagine what the year hold after what 2009 has already brought us! I hope this year ushers in much new and exciting events whose memories last for many years to come! I love you all and miss you like crazy! Talk to you all soon!!!!!!!!!

The Beginning till now!

Well I am new to this whole blogging thing but I wanted to keep in touch with those I love and we all know how horrible at that I am. So here goes my attempt!!! Well to give you the update, I probably should give you some back info!
Well in December of 2008 I took my finals, packed up my bag and flew across the world to the middle east and the holy land of Israel!!! In many respects it was a way to find myself and what it is in life that I needed and wanted form life! I was never forced into religion and I thought that the holiest place on earth may help me out! While I was there, I was moved beyond words. I could literally feel the work and emotion of the land. I traveled with my group to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv we stayed in Bedouin tents and on kibbutz's. I floated in the Dead Sea, Hiked Massada and went off roading in 4 wheelers!
While I was in a land of magic, spirituality, and holiness, a particular gentleman caught my interest! He was gorgeous, arrogant and completely fascinating! It wasn't until we arrived back in Los Angeles and 2009 arrived that I knew I found the man of my dreams! We hung out for the first time a few days after the new year and have been together ever since! Our anniversary is Valentines day (Like Aunt Janie and Mike**) and we will celebrate our 1 year anniversary in 11 days!!!!!
So just a little tid-bit about Paul. Well, he is the District sales manager for Lexmark and handles all those nifty little electronic things that I am so oblivious about! Lord knows how I manage to even turn on my computer!!! LOL* He and I are trying to purchase a condo here in Long Beach, Ca. He is originally form Modesto, Ca (Near Sacramento) and he speaks fluent Russian. MY LIL RUSKE*** and he graduated from UC Santa Barbara. There are his specs for all the family waiting for the details!!! (lol)....Now vainly back to me! I am working full time at a Hair salon called A Cut Above in Belmont Shore (Long Beach) and I am attending California State University Northridge vying for my Bachelors degree in English with a focus on creative writing! So i have the 40 hours per week plus the 15 units or 5 classes at school, dealing with escrow and trying to have a life! It is so strange to think that I am leading a real adult life and I get to share that with someone who I am fortunate to wake next to every morning! I am building my clientele at work and reading more and more for school than I ever thought possible!
On to more of the family information.....My sister Brittany is studying abroad in London and her lack of presence is creating a fisher that is widening from pressure every day! She is such a wonderful woman, person and friend whom I could not be more thankful than to call her sister! Courtney is working her tush off and creating a name for herself in the big bad world and mom and dad are actually starting (hopefully :0)~) to enjoy the bliss of only having 1 child at home! Dad has his toys (the boat, both harleys, the truck and his sports car....plus having a wife a gorgeous as Georgene who wouldn't think they had the life?) Dad's business is doing much better and my relationship with my parents is improving every day! I miss my family and friends who I do not see regularly and think of you all often! I hope you all are doing well and only good things are happening in your life! Love you all!!!

Lindsay and Paul*
