PM: Do I know anything about makeovers? Oh sug, do you know who you’re talking to? That most assuredly is a thing. You come on in to my salon when you’ve got some time, sweetpea. Mama will get you all taken care of. 

PM: I thought you might say something like that, but I didn’t want to assume either. In case I might be getting my hopes up. Not that I question your ability, just the reality of what I’m looking at wanting. I’m not really sure the tough guy look is what I want, and I’ve never tried anything else. Alright, I’ll see you sometime soon.

Ruben: Hey, you. What are you up to today?

After some consideration I have decided to take on an apprentice. I’m looking for someone interested in moving into the field of Cosmetology. My requirements are punctuality, patience, a positive attitude, and a willingness and desire to learn. You’ll get paid like an internship, with the option to shift into full-time pay once you’re able to be promoted. I’ve got a lot of ideas for A Cut Above, and there are big things in the works. Come be a part of the fun!

PM: Do you know anything about... makeovers? Like for a guy. That’s a thing, right?

I just cannot believe it is almost May, time has just been flying by. That means we are officially only about two months out from this year’s Pre-K graduation at Smile Time. I have lots to plan and put together but I look forward to it every year. I am still considering themes for this year though so if anyone has any suggestions, please do let me know. 

I’m sure you already have arrangements made, since this doesn’t sound like a new business to you, but if you’re ever in he market for, well... a new market, I’m sure my family wouldn’t mind striking a deal. We’ve got plenty of fresh food, I know taking care of kids means snack time, juice, and milk.

Sean: Good. That's really good. No need to thank me, I mean it. I'm glad that comes through. Yeah? Well...I'll try and ramble more often, then. I'm glad you are, Ruben. I am too. I did say that. Myleigh's mother, Laura, passed away when Myleigh was 4 months old. Car accident. And, for the record, you're welcome to ask me anything you'd like. You're funny. Well, unfortunately don't exactly have multitudes of prospects either way the wind blows. I am bisexual, and yet I wake to an empty lawn every morning.

Sean: I...Did. I think. Need to hear that, I mean. You're sweet, Ruben. Real sweet. That's really cool of you. I don't even really know what to do with that. Great, sounds good. Be safe, alright? It's late, you know. So I mean...I don't know. If you wanted to bring an overnight bag or something, you're more than welcome to stay.

Ruben: Please do. Ramble, I mean. Oh, I'm sorry. That must be the worst, and I'm not saying that flippantly. Losing a loved one is painful. I can't even imagine. I feel like I shouldn't joke about suitors, not after that.

Ruben: I thought so. I'm glad I said it, then. You don't have to do anything, just know I mean it. I will, yeah. It'll take me a minute, but I'll get there. And yeah, that would be nice. I'll bring stuff. I can pack stuff into my guitar case, since you know I'm bringing that.

Sean: Great. I'm looking forward to it. Man...That's really nice to hear. You're something else, you know. You and her will get along just fine, I'm confident. I am? Thanks for that. I love her, you know? I never thought I could. Before she came along, you couldn't have convinced me I ever would've had a kid, especially not one I'd be raising on my own. I was terrified the entire time her mother was pregnant with her. I'd have these nightmares about doing shit wrong, fucking shit up. I remember this real bad one I used to have, where I'd drop her, and she'd roll into the street or down some random hole that dream-magically appeared. Anyway, that all changed the second I held her. And now I'm just being a sap, and I'm rambling to boot. Why didn't you stop me? Ha, girls lining up down the block huh? Yeah, definitely, as a matter of fact if you get here before 7, you'll usually find one or two fist fighting over who gets top spot. Really, though, that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm a single dad to a 7-year-old girl, who works as a mechanic in like, the smallest town known to man. I'm not exactly a hot ticket item, in any season. Particularly not this one. Thanks for the ego boost though.

Sean: I...Really appreciate that, though. It's cool. You thinking like that. I wouldn't let that happen, though. And, in all honesty, she's the one telling /me/ I need to get out more. 7-going-on-30, remember? Anyway, thank you for that. I'll be extra careful, you have my word. You...Wouldn't? Shit. I'd hate to feel like I ruined your night. Now would work. It would for sure work. I can stay up, I mean.

Ruben: I'm looking forward to it too. I'm glad you think so, thank you. I can tell that you love her. Ramble all you want! Don't worry about it, I'm enjoying myself. You said single father, though, do you mind if I ask what happened to her mother? It sounds to me like people are missing out. I'm surprised, hopefully there's some hope for taste factor in the men in town-- if the women aren't lining up, someone should be.

Ruben: It's common decency, really. She should be first, and I know that it kinda sounds like you needed to hear that so you knew that you didn't have to worry. Just in case. I wouldn't. You wouldn't be ruining anything at all, I'm going with you. The purpose is to be with you. So if you're not at open mic night anymore... then I don't want to be either. It's alright. Awesome, alright. I'll head over. See you soon.

Sean: Good, sounds like we have a plan then. Yeah, that sounds great. I'd like that a lot. I hope you're prepared for Hurricane Myleigh. She's great, but she's wide-open when she's excited. And, frankly, she's excited about everything, all the time. It's my favorite. I'm sure she will. Even if not, I've always got supplies in my truck, just in case. I wouldn't leave early unless you did. If nothing else, I'm sure I can send her to Miss Val's to sleep until we're done. No, no, that's...I just meant...I just meant that if you want to do it sooner, we can. Any time. Whenever. Is what I mean.

Ruben: Sounds like we have a plan, yeah. I'm prepared, I don't mind. I like kids, actually. I think they're cute, and part of the package is energy. You're very sweet when you talk about her, you know. I bet the clear father qualities in you have girls lining up down the block at your place. I just don't want her to be put on the side for me, not that I think you would but I don't want to be a reason that she starts feeling a certain type of way. Does that make sense? I wouldn't mind leaving early with you, if that were the case. I just want you to know, I won't consider it a bad thing if plans have to be cut short at any time for your daughter. So don't hesitate. I could come over in the morning. ..Or now, if it's not too late for you.

Sean: Nah, why would I be? We'll come, then. As long as that's what you want, and you're okay with it, we will. She's been wanting me to take her over there anyway, she's interested in the board games. It shouldn't be, but if it gets too late, she'll just wind up falling asleep on me anyway. Yeah? I wouldn't say no to that, but I don't want to put you out. A whole day, right?

Ruben: That's what I want, yeah. We could head over together, if you want. I hope she likes it there, I do think she'll find plenty to do. And you can always leave early, if you need to. No need to stay for the whole night, if she falls asleep. I can't imagine she'd enjoy waking up in a café full of people if things got to be too loud for her. Well, I mean.. yeah, a day. I guess it's not too long, then.

Sean: Hey. I just wanted to say I had a really great time with you at the Circus. And, I saw the video you posted too. From Open Mic Night. You're really good, Ruben. Let me know if you're planning on performing again. Myleigh and I will come see you, if you are.

Ruben: Hey! It's nice to hear from you, man. You're not scared off by the gossip blog? I'd love to have you two there. If it's not too late. I think the café does open mic night every friday? I could always play for you sometime, though. Friday is a ways away.

seanlowreyorigin​:

Thanks for that. It seems I don’t get out too much these days. You…Wouldn’t? Man, I can’t say I’ve heard that too often since she was born. Unfortunately it seems everyone lost my number when she came along, especially since it’s just me and her. Not that that’s a bad thing, I’d rather have her than a million of those people. But, it’s just nice to hear someone doesn’t mind. That’s really cool of you, Ruben. I guess they kind of are, yeah. I don’t do much else, outside of work. You aren’t putting me out a bit, and I definitely won’t be taking any of your money. We’re going to the same place, it’s really no big deal. I offered, remember? I’m looking forward to it. 

I don’t either, so I feel that. I wouldn’t, no man. Family is important. You’ll see me talk about mine all of the time, and it’s common for us to go out together, with and without other people. That’s your daughter, of course she’s going to be with you. It’s just decent of me, those other people are dicks. I’m looking forward to it too. I’ll find a way to repay you, even if you won’t take money.

bridgehufforigin​:

Whew! After what I’m positive was the longest day I’ve had here to date, this girl is beat. I’d ask if anyone is heading down to the Circus, but at the rate I’m going, I’ll fall asleep on the Tilt-A-Whirl. Happy Monday, I guess. 

I can understand that. I’m pretty happy to turn in early and head to bed when I can.

[snowburygreens]

snowburyathletealec​:

Oh man, you too huh?  Sorry but I’m feeling bonelessly relaxed after a day of spa treatments so I’m just going to pour myself into bed.  Have a good time though.  And I’ll take any thoughts you had on it after the fact.  I know I want to go sometime this week, but I don’t know what will be worth seeing apart from the acrobats for me.  

That’s alright, I’ve gotten a couple of bites on my offer. If you’re looking for someone to go with some other time, let me know. I’m not sure if I’ll be available, but I can try to be. Thanks for the comment on my video too. I had fun at your open mic night, it’s a great idea. I’ll try to be there next Friday, if you’re doing it again.

[snowburygreens]

seanlowreyorigin​:

It is, I’d say. Normally I’d have my daughter but, she’s staying at a friend’s house tonight. So, really you’re saving me from a night of cheap beer and old Westerns I’ve seen about a million times apiece. While that sounds like it could be pretty thrilling, I think you’re right about it being better to forgo it. That doesn’t mean I can’t pick you up, though. If you want. We can meet there if you’d prefer. Good. Great. I’ll see you soon then. 

Good, yeah. Well, I wouldn’t want to say that you not having your daughter is a lucky thing, but I’m glad you can come out and have some fun. Though for the record, I wouldn’t mind her coming along, or hanging at your place if it’s too late for her to come out. That would have been fine with me too. So cheap beer and westerns are your thing? That would be cool, yeah. If you wanted to. I don’t want to put you out, I can give you gas money. I would like that, though. I’ll see you soon. Yeah.

Well hello there, handsome. I don’t think we’ve had the opportunity to meet just yet, but let’s go on and work on changing that. I’m Valerie Green, I own A Cut Above Salon&Spa here in town. Call me Miss Val, sug, everyone does. Anywho, I’m also looking for some company for the Circus tonight, if you’d like to meet up. 

Hello. That’s pretty impressive. My family just came into town, it’s nice to meet you. We could go together at some point, for sure. I’ll tell my parents too, I feel like they’ll want to know because you’re another business owner.
