Pamper De Day!!

I had such a great day today! I think I could really get used to this staycation stuff! Doing things you always put off for another weekend and not having to rush around to fit everything in to 2 days!

The morning started out with sleeping in a bit and a nice leisurely shower - took Muppet out for a short walk - then watched Price is Right. I then started my wonderful day of pampering. Started with a Pedicure and Manicure at Klahanie Nails - no appointment, was able to get right in. First had my nails done - new acrylics put on with French Tips. Next was the pedicure - Hooker Red nails! That's not the name of the polish - just what I like to call the deep bright red color I always have on my toes.

Next stop was Barnes $ Noble - the new releases are here, the new releases are here! I slowly wandered through the book shelves starting with the New Fiction Releases and making my way to the Best Sellers and BN Recommendations. In case you didn't know - I Love Books!! I was able to keep myself to just 5! May sound like a lot to some of you but I had to whittle it down to 5 from 10 that I wanted - I think I did a good job!

I next went to Red Robin for a late lunch where I started in on the first book - Dark Places. By page 3 I was already sucked in - great way for a book to start! I will definitely have this one finished and ready for the Texas family to start reading it when they get here in 2 weeks. The guy that works in the Red Robin bar during the week is really nice. I got my food right away and my iced tea was never empty - not sure if that part was such a good thing after all - 5 glasses later!

Next step of Pamper Day was my Lisa Appt - pampering of the brain! Nice - talked about how nice it is to not be responsible for L anymore - how my blog is going - and other things that will probably be posted about later.

Haven't quite decided what tomorrow will be yet. JA Jance - author of one of the books I bought - will be at the Bellevue Public Library tomorrow at 2 talking about the new book. I saw her 24 years ago when she first started writing her JP Beaumont series! She was at the little bookstore in Gilman Village signing books. My Granddaddy got me started on her books - we shared books and talked about them. I think he would like how the series has progressed. I find it hard to believe I have been reading the same author for 24 years!!

Happy Days -

De

2 feet, but only 1 hand. You should've splurged and got the other hand done too (ha ha)!!! I must admit I am very jealous of all the reading time you get. Alas, 2 days down, 3 more to go. You're missing out on all the auditor fun!
