The good news is.... the bad news is...
ya know that email that gets passed around in the spring every year with this picture in it?
The good news is she was getting a pedicure.... the bad news is she was sitting next to me while it was being done! :GAG:
I went to a new place last night, they were offering 30% off salon services and I'm really not one to pass up a bargain. I went in, got seated, and after repeatedly telling the nail tech person that I didn't want color on my nails AT ALL, I whipped out my phone to play ZUMA to pass the time. I have a love hate relationship with pedicures. I HATE putting my feet in a spot where other naked feet have been and all that and I'm not too fond of a stranger (or anyone really) fondling my feet but I LOVE the look of my feet when all is said and done. The lotion massage isn't so bad either! ;) Soooooooooo, last night, I'm minding my own business when my tech asks me what kind of pedicure I'd like and hands me a 'menu', I read the differences in the 4 different choices and decided that the classic was really all I needed. I don't have white yucky ashyness (see above picture) on my feet so I didn't require 'extensive callus removal' or any thing like that, plus since I do have that 'hate' part of my relationship with pedicures, I like to be in and out of there as quickly as possible. I get back into my game when I begin to hear some conversation between the lady in the chair and her nail tech, at first I didn't pay attention but the lady was beginning to show some frustration in trying to convey to the nail tech her wants/needs. (that's another 'hate' aspect of my relationship with salon services: the language barrier) She was telling the tech that she had some 'dry skin' that needed to be addressed, the tech conferred w/ an associate and they determined that this woman's request would require an upgrade from the original pedicure she had chosen, so the woman agreed to the additional fee. From this point the tech pulled out the scraper/shaver thing and proceeded to shave the calluses from this woman's feet. OH MY WORD!!! The 'stuff' that was coming out of the back of that scraper/shaver thing.... I had to look away or I was going to lose my dinner on my own freshly groomed feet.
Oh and if you see me and I seemed SURPRISED... that would be due to the language barrier between myself and the salon tech... she took off a little more of my eyebrows than I had anticipated. :sigh:

The post where I ramble...
our dogs sleep in our room with us. The little one, Josie, is not comfy to sleep with, she spreads out, she's hot, she pushes against you. So she gets kenneled when its actually time to sleep. The big guy, Duke, well, he's royalty, so he sleeps wherever he wants. He is awesome to sleep with, he really is a great cuddle-er and he will even 'talk' to you to encourage you to 'love on' him. Sometimes, he will leave you for his own space and that's ok, b/c you know that it is not personal. ;) What cracks me up about Josie is that sometimes she gets thirsty... so she just hops in the shower and laps up any water droplets that she finds in there. It totally cracks me up to see her do that. I can see the shower from where I sleep in our bed and trust me, it is super silly to see her poke her head around the shower curtain and jump out from the ledge of the bathtub smacking her lips!
For the record, my favorite cup of coffee... Green Mountain Coffee's Nantucket Blend for my Keurig machine. YUMMO!!!
By the way, it is NOT a HOT water heater... it is just a WATER HEATER!!!!!!!!
The Girl is growing her brains by leaps and bounds! She astounds us everyday with what she has learned/developed. The other night, she and C were doing their nighttime routine thing and I was 'setting the stage for sleeping' ie: getting her bed ready, turning on Thomas, and her noise machine. In her hands, The Girl was holding the eyeglass frames to her Mr Potato Head toy and she proceeded to rub the 'lens' on her shirt like she was cleaning them! HOW STINKING CUTE IS THAT????
Do you want some stats on The Girl? She is 20 months old, 35 inches tall and weighs 32 pounds. She has a mouth full of teeth, I haven't counted them but there are a lot in there. :) She is actually leaving a clip in her hair now (YAY!) and ON OCCASION, she will allow me to put it in a ponytail.
Ok, I've got actual things to do today, so I'll have to ramble on another time.
Later Gaters!
~Til next time!
