OK, it's going to be quick, but here's my take on the Pedicure. It wasn't all that, it was OK, but I'm not sure how willing I would be to make it part of my routine. Perhaps it was the place that I did it, but I found parts of it to be uncomfortable and sometimes painful. Maybe I have neglected my toes for so long that they really needed some TLC, but the scraping, filing and other stuff was not at all relaxing. When she finally got to the massage part, I really couldn't relax much because I was kind of tense from all the callous removal and the like.
Anyways here I am in the salon while my toes were supposedly drying.
She gave me some fake flip flops to wear and sent me on my way. I really wish she would have just sat me down for an additional few minutes and made me wait until they fully dried because as soon as I got in the car, evidently I scuffed my left big toe on the car door and screwed up the polish. I didn't notice until I was all the way home.
I don't really think that I have time to go back and have her touch it up, so oh well. I may try and do it again at another salon and see if it's any more relaxing. The fact that they didn't really speak English well did throw me off a little. They were plenty nice, and really willing to please, but that whole lack of ability to communicate clearly really did put a damper on things. Plus the salon owner handed me all these magazines like People, and other Fan related stuff filled with celebrities who I've never heard of, or couldn't give a darn about what's going on in their live. And Bruce Jenner was on the cover of half of them. While I respect the individual and understand that it is a HUGE struggle. I watched the interview, and that's all I need to hear on the subject. I finally found a Cooking Light magazine and while there was nothing interesting recipe wise, at least it kept my mind occupied while I was wincing from the poking and prodding she was doing to my feet.
On other news, I finally submitted the Travel Insurance documents, so if they approve it we should get back $1500 from all three cruises. My parents should be leaving their house by noon today and arrive sometime just before 8PM. We'll be going out to dinner as I am DONE cooking until Friday night. Jenny arrives tomorrow as does Jill and if we get everything we want done today, perhaps we can have lunch out somewhere tomorrow before we make our big Costco run. The Tri Tips are thawing in the fridge. I am just about to get the Strawberries out of the freezer for the Strawberry soup. I'll be making that tomorrow! The plan is coming together! 54 hours until check in at the Grand Villa!
