Ok, so I am not the most pampered girly girl. I'm trying to be better about it. Those that know me best know that I like jeans and t-shirts and always dress very casual. (I am slowly trying to break that habit, but it's hard). Don't laugh, but I just redeemed a gift certificate today that I got for Mother's Day LAST YEAR. Yep, I am a total slacker, but I feel like I can't find the time sometimes. I know it's not a good enough excuse, but today I vow to get better at treating myself more often. I went to a local day spa and had a great experience with a mani and pedi. The girl that did it was super nice, very soft spoken and very gentle. I'm not much for someone messing with my toenails as they are uber sensitive, but I felt comfortable with the tech and she worked with me. I have this thing with toenails. It's a long story and those I work with know that very well. I've been like that since I was very young. I would recommend this place to others even though I can't figure out if the receptionist was just snooty or if she was just busy. I can definitely see myself splurging to go there for special treats. As I am typing I keep looking at the purdy pink toenail polish...
Mother's Day was pretty uneventful this year. I made my hubby go to some stores with me as we haven't had much time to do things with the kids being super busy with sports and activities. I didn't drag him to girly stores or anything. He should feel blessed as I love going to Lowe's. We then went to the grocery store and a drugstore so that I can try and start battling the blinding white skin I seemed to have inherited from the irish side of my family. It gets pretty embarrassing at times. We then went over to the in-laws for dinner to get together with everyone. It was very pleasant. I honestly can't say I got any gifts from my family. Yeah, they can be kind of slack, but it's not all about the material things. All of them except the grumpy teenager wished me a happy mother's day so that was good enough. Then last night the hubby surprised me with this fabulous little laptop that I mentioned I thought would be handy to have to take with me for work and whatever. It's so light and cute and something that's all mine! It doesn't have the same GB and all that other stuff, but it suits my purposes just fine. Now I don't have to steal the grumpy girls' laptop. Hey, maybe she'll be happy about that, huh? One can only hope...
