Day of Indulgence

Otherwise known as: personal grooming errands.

Today I got a pedicure which felt so good it made me wonder why a) everyone doesn't get them all the time, and b) why they are so fricken cheap.

I mean seriously, for the low price of $15 (and a tip, leave a tip - those women have to play with FEET all day) you get your toenails clipped, filed, and buffed. Your cuticles get trimmed, and if the lady is good it doesn't even hurt. Your feet get pumice scrubbed, with lotion, by someone else, which is akin to getting you back exfoliated by someone else in the shower with a rich, salt or sugar scrub. Amazing. Electrifying. Like a million tiny fingernails going to town on your dead, dull skin. Woah. Also, you get to soak your tired soles in a foot bath for a good solid 40 minutes (sometimes longer) and you get to sit in a chair that massages your back. Plus, you get a foot rub and a leg rub. Who could possibly say no to this kind of treatment?

Boys, you can choose clear as a color if you are worried about coming out with pink tootsies. Try it at least twice because the first time you are so freaked out by the pointy-sharp tools it's difficult to relax.

Then, I went and visited Moni Rose and finally met Lola the newbie. Such a cutie. She suckled (drooled?) on my shoulder and I loved it. So damn cute, that baby. A perfect blend of her parents. Moni brought me back to my roots and I am suddenly devastatingly smart-looking what with being a brunette again and having smarty specs. Reminiscent of Lisa Loeb.

Also went to Berkeley Bowl and was in and out in 25 minutes! (They were closing so I got kicked out) And I got the oil changed.

I am Wonder Woman.

Now I'm eating for the first time all day today - unless you count a grape Tootsie Pop, which I don't. I'm having Brie, a baguette, and some Nebbiolo wine from AJB vineyard. Quite tasty for my only meal. If I don't overdose on cheese I might even run the lake later.
