so... as anyone reading this most likely already knows yesterday was by Birthday! sadly, no photos were taken so i will have to paint the picture for you of my day. I had the pleasure of working in the morning and early afternoon, and although i did take a half day, it was another sad reminder of how pathetic my life is right now. Although i did have a fabulous day and some very nice birthday wishes (mixed in with some not so nice birthday wishes) i spent most of the day alone and with strangers... not exactly what i had in mind for the annual celebration of my birth. My own mother had to be reminded of the day and you think she would remember the long painful hours of labor she had with me 24 years ago... guess memories do fade :)
I am always surprised though, but not at all dissapointed by the people who do remmeber and go out of thier way to make it or say something special, it seemes to always be the people I least expect, and those i expect, nada. But no biggie... my day was fabulous (my new word obsession) in its own way.
After 5 loooong gruisome hours (haha) at work, i ate (alone) food court food (feel sorry for me yet? LOL im totally exaggerating this) and off to the spa i go. I think im the only person on planet earth that can make a day of pampering and relaxation into an anxiety ridden experience. The drive, not so bad. the relaxtion part, impossible. I started with a facial. I was so nervous my skin was beat red and burning before any product. Jen (was her name) was talking about products i use, soaps, blah blah blah if you know me, you know beauty and style is somewhere floating at the bottom of my list of importance and had NO CLUE what she was talking about. but after what seemed like FOREVER with my eyes closed resorting to my own dark thoughts for entertainment my face is nice and smooth and clog free (which by the way i didnt have many of! lol) A few thousand face masks later, a horribly bright light that would scare away a basking lizard and some scorching hot towels, i cant say id get another one for a while, but it was an experience none the less.
So now the facials over. jenn Leaves, i need to take my pants off (which i had anticipated i know that much about massages) what i apparently didnt know what that i had booked a full body massage. yay more heart palputations for me. laying on my stomach was more enjoyable than my back and as she rubbed my aching shoulders i finally started to relax... okay so this isnt so bad. Aside from the waterfalls that kept entering the room and the rain storms (yes i had to PEE BAD!) i was getting the hang of it. She took my arms.. not so bad... ugh my legs.. i Hate my legs being touched. laying there trying to relax im like oh crap when was the last time i shaved my legs? and what underware do i have on today? i wonder if my feet smell from working all morning? more panic attacks. Im actually doing my breathing exercises that my lovely therapist taught me on how to come down from hysteria.... at a damn massage. Pointless.
anyway.. it wasnt really THAT bad. i would go again... to get my nails painted, and maybe try another massage upper back only. I actually have plenty more money to return... maybe ill try out all the things on the "menu" until i find something i really enjoy. i'll let ya know :)
So i was there for somewhere around 4 hours, 1 hr just to paint my nails by the over zelous drug addict who wouldnt stop talking about heroine and cocaine. lol (i think she was kidding?) I finally come home to my fabulous (love this word0 boyfriend who got me a cake with cool swirly candles! awww. a huge boquet of flowers.. and even a present from April.. hehe. she got me the lobstah from BABW and a cute card. Scottie got me the cutest Ipod NANO thats HOT PINK!!! my favorite color (apple calls it red) but it benefits the Inspi(red) program which im in LOVE with. the gateway to retial doing good things and giving back.. i love it.
after cake and presents off to Joes (my all-american-fav-bar and grill) 1 drink and huge helping of my very favorite dip and a box to wrap my dinner and its off to bed.
not such a bad day ;)
thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes my way.
'Till next year...
time to DL all my fav country toons ;)
ETA: Dana pointed out i did also complete another of my 50 tasks to do this year, #45 get a professional massage :)
