I couldn’t be happier this weekend! I have made some changes over the past month that have really made a difference in my life. You see, many weekends I have spent lying on the couch, exhausted from the week that just ended. But this Friday and Saturday were filled with SO many things and I still have one more day to go!
Last night I agreed to an impromptu late night bar outing with Luisa. She was feeling the itch to go play and I agreed to play along. We hit up the Bar Car (or Car Bar, whichever way you want to say it) for some late night tunes by DJ Rockstar Aaron. Luisa was sick a couple weeks ago when she returned from her recent trip, so I finally got to finally hear about her latest vacation to Jamaica and see all the fun pictures. There was something about our conversations that made me miss our old school fun times together, it was perfect evening.
And since my original Friday night plans had changed, I decided to pick them up this morning. I started off the day with a three part movie marathon from Red Box.
While I was on the third movie I thought I would start the beginning of my “spa” day. My skin is super sensitive which means shaving can leave my skin in a horrible state, so waxing is actually a better option for me. I placed a towel in the living room floor so I can watch the movie and I started to wax my legs with an at home waxing kit. What I learned this time around: I don’t have the patience or attention span to finish a whole leg. I made it through one lower leg and gave up. Next time, I will get them professionally done but on a positive note – I do have the smoothest legs right now!
Afterwards I was so tired of being so still and stagnant, I popped in my exercise DVD’s. I love Beachbody products! My favorite is Slim in 6 – I used this DVD set about 10 years ago and just recently bought the newest set. I can’t remember the last time I felt that good after working out.
After exfoliating my entire body and (shaving the remaining parts of my legs) off to the nail salon I went. Pedicures are a rarity in my life. Ever since I was sent to the ER for an infected toe I do my own pedicures, but there is something about the whole experience that is truly rewarding and relaxing. I blame my cousins for turning me on to such a girly activity.
While I was there, I also decided to pamper myself to a hot stone massage. My last chiropractor appointment left me in tears, mainly because my poor muscles were knotted and tight. It wasn’t the 90 minute deep tissue that I needed, but it was perfect for a day like today.
Oh! And I almost forgot – I purchased my first Apple product! I splurged on an Apple iPad! I bought it directly from them so I do have to wait a little but I am happy as I got it engraved, I never would sell any of my electronics so it isn’t something that I worry about. It will be a nice surprise in a few weeks. What’s funny is that my brother Randy and I have been talking about getting the new iPad before it came out and I was the one who hesitated until now to buy it, but my mother who just recently started thinking about a tablet just bought her’s on a whim last night. That’s right, she gets to play with hers long before mine ever arrives!
I started to finish this post at 9pm by saying “I didn’t go downtown and participate in the drunken debacle known as St. Patties Day” but I have just been ambushed by text messages from friends that I haven’t seen in a while so I am now on my way out the door! At least I can say I accomplished things (including making dinner, washing and cleaning out the car and filling the last of my prescriptions). I took a well deserved day off filled with many things that made me happy. I am looking forward to what tomorrow holds also knowing that I don’t have school at all next week! But right now I must get dressed and get out the door for this evenings festivities! Cheers to a fantastic spring break!
