  So, allow me to recap. Sorry if I get chatty. I've missed Da Blog! Saturday was fantab. The highlight was getting a spa pedicure. Oh dear sweet Jesus. I know the whole "you're going to get a fungus" spiel everyone's blabbing right now so please don't email me and reinforce it, mkay? So, after getting the pedicure, I aptly named the spa lady, Nancy-The-Spa-Nazi. Hee. Girlfriend knew what she was doing and did it without telling you anything. I upgraded the normal spa pedicure to the "super spa pedicure" so it was an hour long with a lot more benefits.
One of the "benefits" was getting all the dead skin shaved off my feet. Sexy, right? She lathered my legs and feet over and over with various creams, salt scrubs, oils, lotions and even dipped my feet in hot wax in the end. Ouch! My favorite part was the salt scrub that made my skin tingle...then she wrapped my legs with steamed towels and when she took them off it was bliss. My least favorite part was when she popped my toes....like you would your knuckles....she literally pulled them until they popped. It was odd to me that I was paying someone to inflict torture on me in that capacity. (I believe that was about the time I came up with her nickname.
) However, in the end I didn't even want to put back on my shoes my legs and feet felt so good. After shopping all day and being outside in the sun it really helped to relax like that. Sunday I did the requisite 4th of July hoop-la....family and food. Both in excess.
Hee.
That night a bunch of us loaded up in my brother and sister-in-law's suburban and went to see the city fireworks show. My nieces went with us and I still can't believe how my 1 1/2 year old niece acted. Her and her 4 yr old sister crawled over the seat in the "way-way back" as my niece calls it...and they played and danced around to urlLink The Girl From Ipanema .
Hee.
(They love that cd and all the adults did too so it worked out great. ) When the fireworks started my niece was still in the way-way back and she started jumping up and down screaming "wow!".
One of her first words has became "wow!". It was hilarious. She was banging her head on the window in hysterics over the fireworks. It was worth the waiting, traffic and all to see her so excited. A fun time was had by all. And I really enjoyed my 4 day weekend. I could get use to that. Music Playing: American Child ~ Phil Vassar
