Toe Adventure and Weekend Fun

Friday night, Mr. Hottie Von Schnauzer (Will) took me to my first live performance of Phantom of the Opera. I've never been to a play / musical before and I definitely enjoyed it. Though there was a moment, when I couldn't take my eyes off the signers for the deaf. They were really getting into it. Their faces, hands and body were just going to town. We couldn't say these signers were monotone or part statue. On Saturday, we took our friends Bev & Dave to get pedicures. Ok, so how come there is a definite difference between men getting pedicures and women? How come the women in the nail place totally cater to the dudes. Geez, I was slapped in a non-working massage chair, quickly clipped, scrubbed and painted, then my butt ejected out of the chair before the men were even close to being done. And they don't even get polish on their toes! You know, I tip just as good as the men, please my toes are in way better shape. Anyway, our friend Dave had his first pedicure. I looked over at him at one point and his eyes were rolling back in his head from the massage chair action and the little Asian massaging his tootsies. After all said and done, he proclaimed the salt scrub was his favorite and he would definitely go again. Oh gosh, we created a pampered monster. After that was over, Bev and I dropped the boys off at a restaurant, so we could get a massage. Have to love that. Spoil me some more! Though the masseuse probably thought I was strange, because I asked her not to trash my hair, since we were all going out after the massage. She did a great job and the only signs of my massage were the red marks on my face from having it pressed into the pillow donut thing and the drool marks on my chin. After the massage, we all met for dinner and then decided to go to a local casino. Where they bent all of us over and took all our money. Ok, that shouldn't be a surprise, but more times then naught, we come out with a little extra cash. I left there feeling like they turned me up-side-down trying to shake change out of my shorts. Regardless, or lack of winning, it was an awesome weekend. I vote a repeat of the weekend, except change the part were I lose my shirt and coin to the casino. Have great work week all!

Thanksgiving and Turkey Lips

Oh my gosh, it's November! Yes, I said November! It's one of my favorite eating times of the year. Nothing more exciting then getting together with family and friends that bring all your favorite annual holiday dishes. I always consider myself a bringer and not the baker. Which in so many words, I don't have Thanksgiving dinner at our house. I would rather tote my goods and my hungry self over to my mom's place for the feast. It's always a fun place to be during the holidays. Along with the great smells and the wonderful people, there is my awesome mom. You can hear her call her kids and my dad by her designated pet names. example: Hey, Hair-Head! Hey, Turkey Lips! My dad's nick name is not for repeating out loud. Even the cat, Pedro has several nick names. Which nick name he gets all depends on how much he is annoying my mom. I'm not sure when the turkey lips nick name came along, but it seems to be a staple in my mom's nick name selections. I think we all find it strangely endearing. Because every one knows that turkeys don't have lips. Guess it's cuter then calling someone a turkey butt, or turkey neck. Which could get you karate chopped in my family. Hair head, needs no explanation. You got hair, you are a hair head. Hmmm, I wonder what she would call someone in the family if they went bald? Let's not find out. :) Happy Tuesday.

p.s. I didn't eat my chinese food at work that day. I saved it for lunch the next day. So there is hope for me yet.
