Birthday MONTH: Day 23

A SPA DAY WITH THE GIRLS...

Every woman DREAMS of being pampered and spoiled for the day and I agree that every woman should treat themselves to such a day...as often as they can.

As a woman, we hold MANY job titles all rolled into a daily 24-hour shift such as...

wife, mother, taxi driver, home accountant, maid service, nurse, chef, counselor, and we'd be here all day if I kept on but I'm sure you understand where I'm going with this...

You deserve to be pampered and spoiled!

Me? deserve it? Not so much.

Okay...I do "deserve" it but...I'm NOT a "spa" kind of gal.

I NEVER get my nails done. I used to when I was in college and throughout my banking years, but that's been over a decade ago.

Presently working in our vehicle collision center...mixing paint, sanding cars and playing with paint thinner is not a great combination for acrylic nails and nail polish. Trust me! 

(No matter what you think, I do not just sit behind the desk and pretend I own the place!  ;)

oh. and I don't do feet either. I can't stand the sight of feet. Mine nor anyone else's. To me, flip flops are the devil as some people should just NOT wear them...I'm just sayin'.

To wrap it all up...I don't like anyone (that I don't know) touching me. Again...I'm just sayin'.

Besides ... the last time I had a body wrap, I left looking like this and I just don't think the "thin look" is right for me...ya think?

Seriously...all jokes aside...we had a WONDERFUL day!!!!

Eight of us hometown girls left early this morning for a full day of facials, pedicures, body massages, and laughs!

And let me not forget to mention we had fruit, chocolates, sandwiches, boudin and champagne!!!

{I learned how to pop the cork (the wrong way...oops!) and also learned how to make a Mimosa  (lots of champagne with little orange juice)}

believe it or not...

This day wasn't about me nor my Birthday MONTH.

This day was to spoil all of the women who helped make our annual high school alumni co-ed softball tournament a tremendous success for the 4th year in a row!

These women above are educators and nurses who devoted their time and talent to organize this sports event and certainly deserved to be pampered from head to toe.

Me deserve it? Not so much. 

They just let me drive them there, fix their drinks and hang out with them  ;)

While they were planning, organizing and sweating their patooties off at the end of August, I was playing in New Orleans and romping across the Southern states on a 10-day road trip, remember? It took me the whole month of September to post about it  ;)

I have to really point out here that this is the Queen that makes it all happen every year (with the help of her court, of course)...

She got the full work-up from head to toe...

She hadn't painted her toes since high school...until today!!!!

(i can't believe i'm posting feet on my blog...i'm not looking)

;)

I'd post some CRAZY photos of the rest of the girls but I was sworn not to. I can't even post them on facebook.

I am a faithful friend ;)

*****

The moral of this post is plain and simple...

You deserve to take time for yourself (either alone or a fun day with girlfriends)

Pamper yourself.

Do something silly and laugh about it.

and most of all...

Do all of the above as often as you can!!!!
