As I sit here at 5:00 am watching the Starbucks employees wait out front to be let in to begin their day, how do they get people in to work that early anyway? Back to the story...I am here at my Flagship Store, my baby, the one which encompasses so many of dreams (you feel the significane of this store now?) Well she's now been violated; she's showing off her new design of a shattered glass door. No big deal though right? Just plain aggravation and heartache. 

So ADT calls at 3:00am and says there is a front door alarm at the new salon, do we want to dispatch police? My response in my most honest and educated sounding of reactions “yeah girl, its 3:00 in the morning, ain’t nobody supposed to be there”, She actually laughed. So when I arrived, after dragging the boy out of bed, low and behold the front door at the Cary store is smashed and the cops are out front with guns drawn. Oh the dramz! I distinctly remember my quote from earlier in the evening in which I so proudly exclaimed “TJ and I live a drama free life”, I should have knocked on wood. So in the scheme of things, no big deal, my store got broken in to. But I can’t help but feel violated and exposed, and most of all really annoyed. I am sitting here waiting for the glass guy to come replace the door ($560), TJ is laying down in the 1050 and my Dad just left, God I am so lucky to have those men in my life. So the would be robbers, or little punks, or pains in my ass that smashed the door, didn’t even take a thing. Opened the drawer at the counter, saw no cash and left. Left the change, the paychecks, even the role of quarters. It figures Cary robbers are only interested in bills. What were they expecting to find? We are a tanning salon, I wish we had tons of cash on hand, but unfortunately we are a credit card business. 

Oh sweet, the Glass doctor just showed up. So  I gotta wrap it up; But first this thought just popped in to me head…get ready, deep thoughts with Jill….last time I went away with my BFF’s the Wake Forest Rd. location got broken in to. We were in Charleston and my parents had to go and clean up and wait for the glass guy. Now tomorrow I leave with the same girls for Vegas (none of us have ever been and it is going to be pure madness!)  So anyhoo, either the universe is preparing me for my upcoming sleepless nights, or just reminding me of my responsibilities so I don’t get too out of control. Either way, I’m okay with the universe and its oddities, hopefully this will be all my bad luck and I’ll be blessed with pink dice in Vegas!

BTW~the Starbucks girl just informed me it was Friday the 13^th; good times!
