Too Early
I can't believe I woke up before 6 am on a Saturday. Steve is still sound asleep and probably will be until 9 or 10. - Lucky him
Yesterday, I complained about salons being filled with only Spanish speaking people. I forgot to mention that there is one good thing about that. It keeps the price low. I don't mind shaping & painting my nails, but there is nothing like the look of a great French Manicure or Pedicure. Manicures are nice once in a while, but they only last about week. I prefer pedicures, because they are so relaxing & they last about a month. The place I like to go has special chairs just for pedicures. They are big soft chairs with mini hot tubs for your feet. They have little smooth stones in the water, which is filled with aromatherapy and message oils. The girls oil & massage your feet and calves for about 10 - 15 minutes. Then, they shape and paint your toenails. That little thin white line at the end with the pale pink coat is so cute. I forgot to mention that they have a girl there that walks around offering red wine and espressos for free (I don't drink either of those, but it is a nice touch). This sounds like an expensive ordeal, but it only costs about $18 (plus tip). I think it is only $15 if you don't get the French Manicure, but for that I would just stay home & paint my own toenails. Now that I have written all about it, I am even more inclined to set an appointment. Can you believe I only had one last year and that was because I got a free gift certificate?
This weekend, we plan to work on minimizing our junk and cleaning. I don't know how we got all of this stuff. With all my crafts, Steve's tools, miscellaneous stuff, and clothes our place is being overrun. Anyway, getting rid of some of it will also help us when we move. Once we purge the house, we need to do a deep cleaning. Someday, I want a maid. Not a live in one or one that comes all the time. I'd just like the bathrooms & tile floors deep cleaned twice a month & not by me. By the way, that is another good thing about living in a place where most people don't speak English - it is cheaper. Still, I feel guilty spending money on that, so for now I'll keep dreaming...

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
