On my own 2nite
So, this morning I was checking my e-mail & I'm pretty sure my psycho hairdo was grumbling. I'm trying 2 ignore the whole evil-hair sitch, but it's kinda hard. NEway, Connie popped her head in my door & she was all, "April? I was wondering if U'd like 2 stay here on yr own 2nite." I sat up, smiled, & asked, "I can stay here alone?!" Connie was, like, "It shdn't B a problem. I'd B rite next door if U needed me. What do U say?" I was like, "OK. Yeah! Sure!" Then after she left, I did a weird little happy dance while going, "Woooo hoooooo!!! Cool! Majorly cool! I'm my own boss! I rule! I can do NEthing ... NEthing I want 2 do!" Then, I thot, "What shd I eat 1st?" while pulling a box of Cheerios out of the cupboard. Then I put it back & called Ger & asked him if he wanted 2 meet me @ the Eats Diner. We're there now. Ger luvs NE chance 2 eat away from home, yo.
Dunc's gonna come by @ around 1 this afternoon so he & I can make Kimmi a special "Congrats on finding yr vocation" card. He's got sum stock pix of nuns & stuff but he sez he wants a pretty rainbow in the background. . . .

April,
I’m glad Connie finally got some common sense about your arrangement at home. It’s not like she can’t see all the comings-and-goings at your house from her house. Not only that, you are far too responsible a young woman to need constant supervision. About your hair, that incident at the shop really shook Sugar up. She is trying to convince herself that you have some sort of genetic predisposition to propeller buns, and that the storms clouds and ominous laugh were her imagination. However, the other stylists heard it too, and they were all freaked out about it. Marjee had to take today off. She hit her head from where she fainted during your hair’s unstraightening yesterday. I am so sorry it didn’t work April. It seems like letting your hair down is a temporary thing at best. If you ever need a shamp-Oh to relax it temporarily for relief, I can do that whenever you want. Even a temporary respite would be better than none at all.
At the Valhalla, I think Becky and Thorvald and Becky’s uncle Ralph and I have come to an agreement our interiour design desires. The supper club will be like one of those old-timey ones, with lots of dark wood and a dance floor. I am favouring a Nogal, sometimes called "tropical walnut". Nogal is very similar in texture to American black walnut, but darker, softer, and has some interesting black streaks. However, for a top wood, I am going for the Spalted Maple, which has wild patterns of discoloration, with patches of straw and greys delineated by dark brown streaks. It is very striking, and has the advantage that if someone drops a beer on it, it actually adds to the look. Thorvald is happy if he can add his animal heads for wall decorations. Becky said she will be happy if looks like a classy establishment and not like a gay bar or a prison (ideas that were favoured by both Thorvald and her uncle Ralph and thankfully talked out of.)
Jeremy has been here today to argue with Ralph about putting in optical cable again. He is acting a little oddly today and keeps talking to himself. It’s like he has an imaginary friend. I thought he was a little old for that kind of stuff. Becky thought he was messing around with another girl, until Jeremy introduced the other girl as his imaginary friend, whom he called Eva. That really creeped out Becky. I think she has plans to straighten out Jeremy’s head, but I don’t know what they are, but they may involve the use of frying pans.

April,
It was another taxing day at the Valhalla construction today. I intentionally did not wear any nice shoes after Gerald ruined my nice new Jimmy Choo stilettos, by throwing up on them yesterday.
Thorvald went on and on about having mead and Brennevin on tap. Finally, we just gave in. I figure you could use the Brennevin as a cleaning fluid, when it only sells to Thorvald. Thora showed up at the Valhalla today, and she is probably the moodiest, pregnant, Viking lady I have ever seen. I know you think you have been moody with your hair and dealing with Connie Poirier, but it was nothing compared to Thora. She threw an axe at Thorvald no less than 20 times during the course of the day, each time cursing that her additional pregnancy weight was throwing off her aim.
Jeremy was here most of the day with his imaginary friend. He is starting to get to me. He sets out food for it on a separate plate, and I swear the food disappears, even when it looks like Jeremy could not possibly be eating it. Jeremy is good, really good at this imaginary friend thing. Becky could not stand it though. She said to me, “Jeremy needs a good frying pan across the head to straighten him out.” Then the freakiest thing happened. When Becky snuck up behind Jeremy with the frying pan, to knock some sense into him, the frying pan somehow ended up conking Becky in the head. Becky was really ticked off at Jeremy then and Thorvald threw him out of the Valhalla saying, “A true man does not strike a woman with a frying pan. He uses a boulder or a lightning bolt.”
After Jeremy left, Thorvald got really serious and said, “Becky-Thora. The Valhalla is going to be a classy place to show off your talents. I think we need to hire a professional sound man, and not some high school kid you know.” Becky said, “But Jeremy is my pre-bf. He’s been doing sound for me ever since the summer and he works for practically nothing.” Thorvald said, “Anyone who strikes my Becky-Thora in the head with a frying pan does not deserve anything.” Becky said, “You know what dad? You’re right. You should hire a sound man to replace Jeremy. A real top of the line pro.” I think Jeremy is out of a job.
Other than that, I have been designing the interior most of the day. If they like what I have done, then the place is going to be a very well-appointed old supper club.
