blah, blah

I can't seem to find time to get on the computer anymore. Between gardening, picking up messes and Dominic wanting to hold hands and walk constantly, I haven't given blogging much thought lately.

I did make me two new scrub tops this week. They turned out so cute. One is light purple with high heel shoes on it (I *heart* shoes!) and the other one is teal with cartoon fishes and octopus on it. D saw the fabric and smiled so big I knew I had to have it. They were very easy to make, I basically did them during nap time. Next week I may try making pants, I need them desperately.

WW is doing ok. I'll do great one day and crappy the next, and on and on. Today I just want to eat. I really think that it is more thirst, so I think I will go make me a big jug of iced tea and see if that helps the munchies.

I need to pick up the house again and during nap time I think I will wash the big green Olds and try to darken up these pasty legs.

I like blogging, I just wish I had more to say.

Can't think of a title

Heh, I've been pretty lazy lately and not turned on my computer. When I do that not only do I miss out on all the things I could be journaling, but I miss what other people have to say. I would get on the computer more, but I've already expressed what a time waster it is, I could be on this chair for hours.

My friend from work is coming over in a little bit with her kids. Maybe D can work off some of his energy.

I just had a container of potato salad that turns out to be 28 WW points. That's my point allowance for the whole day!!

Not good.

Ahhh, the spaaaa!

I had a very lovely day yesterday. Dominic was in good hands with my mom so I could really relax.

They had a Starbucks right next door so of course I had to get my fave, a caramel mocha frappaccino light. Yum. I went in at 11:00 and first thing was my pedicure. My feet were soaked, cleaned, loofa'd, soaked, masked and wrapped, soaked and mosturized, then I had bright red polish painted onto them (that was E's request. He loves red.) Next was lunch and I had a rolled sandwich from a little deli next door. It was very good. I was hoping I wouldn't be too full for my massage and I wasn't.

THEN came the salt sea glow scrub and massage. Oh, oh my! The room was so comfortable with soft music and candles. I was self conscience knowing I was going to be nekkid and having some stranger rubbing on me, but I had a chance to talk to the massage therapist and explained that to her. She was completely sweet and understanding. She rubbed my neck, shoulders, back arms and legs with sea salt and a pretty smelling oil. It felt like all the dead skin was coming off my body, especially my back, since who can really reach the middle of their back when washing? I washed off in a little shower and then back on the table and I was massaged until I couldn't lift a muscle. When she asked me to turn over, I was barely able to, I almost ended on the floor. Ha, wouldn't that have been a sight!! She massaged my face and ended with my feet and that's when I woke myself up with a little snore. It lasted about 90 minutes and was too short for me! It was that wonderful.

After that I had my hair washed and styled in a flippy do and my make up done. It was a little more makeup than I'm used to, but if I were going out for a evening date it would have been really pretty.

Before my appointment I was nervous and self conscience, but that was for not. All the girls were pretty, yet not perfect looking models. They were all so sweet and accommodating, asking if I needed anything, bringing me magazines and drinks and the time between the pedicure and when my lunch arrived they all sat around with me and bs'd about guys and hair and cars (the girl who did my toes was a weekend race car driver!) I left feeling so pampered and spoiled. It was great.

I thought I would walk out feeling greasy and oily, but I just felt soft. And this morning all the oils must have totally soaked in because when I hugged E he said "Wow, you are really soft!" Hee hee.

I would highly recommend such a day for anyone. I saw how much it was and it wasn't really that expensive, and the package was a lot cheaper than if you were to buy everything separate. It was worth every penny.

I kept thanking E for such a wonderful gift and he was so happy that I loved it. He mentioned last night that perhaps I will go again some time. Woo hoo, I hope so!

Too long

I've been away too long, now I have nothing to say.

My SIL's wedding was beautiful. She looked beautiful. Dominic danced the money dance with her and it was sweet. He was the hit of the wedding (other than the bride and groom). We had to keep looking for him because family members kept taking off with him.

Monday is my spa day and I can not wait!!!! I'm a little self conscience though because I'm at my heaviest weight. Maybe she won't laugh at me.

I'm sleepy. Work was so busy today and I'm exhausted. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!!
