pedicure

Yesterday we planned to get up early and go to Griffith Park, but something happened.

I SLEPT IN!

I never sleep in. I am up around 6:00am EVERY day of the year.

I slept ’til a little after 9:00!

So, we took a raincheck and will head down to G.P. another weekend and visit Travel Town.

But then a few other great things filled our day ~ like post-Easter dyeing of 4 eggs (see previous post), and almond bars in the oven (again, prev post), the 2 midgets playing together nicely ALL day, Jay helping our friend/neighbor assemble a swingset, I GOT A PEDICURE AFTER 9 MONTHS and we had an impromptu “dinner party” with our awesome neighbors.

I made shredded chicken soft tacos.

Sun & Bob brought a gorgeous tower of sushi and sake!

Seriously….I go get a pedi, call Jay on my way home to find out a couple things I need to grab at the store, he tells me that Sun & Bob are joining us for dinner and that he has already “straightened up and vacuumed” the house!

How awesome is that?

I’ve gotten a little ahead of myself, though.

Let’s have a little mention of my pedicure, shall we?

First, I grabbed a large Peet’s iced americano.

$2.80 of sheer bliss:

OPI love:

I am awful at deciding on a color. I could vacillate for hours ~ it’s ridiculous.

I wanted this, Jade is the New Black:

but, I chickened out.

Then I thought about this, Absolutely Alice:

…maybe this summer (IF I get another pedi that soon! It’s asking a lot!)

So, after them telling me my lady was ready for me twice, I felt pressured to pick and I ended up with this, China Glaze’s Sexy Silhouette:

I didn’t even really WANT this color! I hate when I literally just “pick a color”. But, it’s been so long, I’d take baby poop yellow or barf brown as long as I can soak my piggies in warm soapy water, have my cuticles pushed back, get the dead skin cut off, have my calluses removed, legs massaged and wrapped in hot towels. It was 45 minutes of much needed time in the massaging spa chair reading about how Kendra Wilkinson Baskett is trimming down after baby, what J Lo’s adorable twins are up to and who wore silver the best at this year’s Oscars.

Here is a pic before I jumped in the car. I was so afraid I was going to mess them up:

Flattering, I know….my ugly foot against asphalt!

But my dogs look a million times better than when I arrived.

Thanks for the treat, Lola ~ next time all the girl’s will go together.

The day may not have unfolded like we had planned, but everyone needs a little serendipity in their lives once in awhile.

Wishing you a serendipitous Sunday!
