Atlanta, Georgia 12/25/2016 6:30am Alya Christmas I was in the best dream ever and I heard my alarm go off. I got my first client at 8:00am and I'm super tired I didn't go to sleep until 2am finishing dinner it would've been been long if Jas didn't help. All that's left is the sides. I quickly hop in the shower and brushed teeth taking no more than 30 minutes. After the shower I put on my PINK sweatsuit and black Ugg's.

Grabbing my keys and a pop tart going out the door. I drive to the salon trying to keep my eyes open so I decided to stop at Starbucks I don't really like coffee but falling asleep at the wheel is not on my bucket list.
"Welcome to Starbucks what can I get you" the intercom said "Umm lemme get that coffee Frappuccino the biggest size " I said "your total is 6.48 pay at the first window" she said I hope it's at least decent. After paying and grabbing my drink I make my way to the shop. I took a sip of the drink thinking it not half bad.
Finally making it to the salon with 15 minutes to spare. Looking at my drink to see half of it gone and I'm still tired. After opening of the shop and getting everything together and finishing my drink my client waking in. She is my easiest client my first client want a lace with a wash and set, my second client getting a quick weave with a wash and set and my last client getting a ponytail with a wash and set.
"Hello boo come on in and sit at the wash bowl on the right" I said
9:37am I just finished her hair and I'm tired that Starbucks drink was weak. I have 20 minutes until my next client so I walked to the corner store and got 3 monsters going back to the shop and putting two in the break room.
"Hey Alya when you get here" I look up to see Ms.Shelby one of the older women that been working here a long time. She's like a mom to me you can say she give me advice about everything from boys to money.
"Good morning Ms. Shelby and I been here since 7:30 I got two more clients tho and then I'm home for Christmas what about you" I asked opening my monster drinking most of it. "Be careful with those drink you might crash later and I only got one client who need a touch up. And don't overwork yourself baby" She said "I'm not I promise I just like having the extra money in the bank just incase." I said finishing my monster as my client walks in "Thank god, Alya I thought I was going to have to go to my family dinner with my hair staying on the top of my head my cousins already be hating " my client Tiffany said
"That's cuz you Beautiful baby" Ms.Shelby said setting up her station "Thank you Ms. Shelby." Tiffany said as she follows me to the shampoo bowl.
2:30pm After finishing all my monsters and all my client plus a walk-in I'm ready to eat I'm not tired anymore not even a little. Getting in the car I started to speed to McDonald's getting a large fry and speeding home.
Dang my heart racing I wasn't even tired but them monsters was good so I drunk them all. After getting home I watch a movie then start to cook the sides playing Christmas music.
5:00pm After putting food in the oven I'm on the couch dancing drinking another monster. Who knew at Monsters were good.
"Girl what the fuck you doing" Jas said laughing scaring me making me fall off the couch "Damn she ok" I heard Trey ask "What the fuck did we walk into" Tyler said laughing
" where did y'all come from" I said getting up and walking to the kitchen checking the oven and stirring the collard greens. "The door and if you wasn't high on monsters and your music wasn't so high you would've hear us" Jas said looking at the food
"The food not ready yet damn Alya CHOP CHOP" Trey said clapping his hands "Boy clap your hands at me again and I'm chopping them off and putting it in the freezer and you always hungry" I said rolling my eyes and going to sit on the couch. "That's harsh" Tyler said sitting next to me.
"Let's watch Christmas movies until the food ready" I said jumping up and down then reaching for my Monster " No ma'am you don't need this" Jas said taking my Monster.
7:36pm " Alya this shit good" Tyler said eating his food "right I hope you can cook like this Jas or we spending every Christmas at my moms then Alya's" Trey said looking at Jas "Boy shut up you better learn how to cook cuz I ain't your housewife" Jas said laughing
