Due to our work schedules and family obligations, Candy and I haven’t been able to get together for a while. So a couple of weeks ago we decided to plan a lunch/pedicure outing. After a while, it turned into a shopping/lunch/pedicure then we each head to our own spa for a massage (and a facial for me, courtesy of a Christmas gift from my guys).

Today was the day. Candy picked me up from my house. Since I was on the phone with AT&T to get my Blackberry set up (what a PITA), we had a quick breakfast at my house. Then we headed to Macy’s for some shopping. Candy picked up a couple of tops and I found a very nice slimming pair of jeans. We headed up to PF Chang’s for lunch – mmm mmm mmm. After lunch, we headed to the nail place in Uintah Gardens. Every time I get a pedicure there it lasts for WEEKS.

The day was so nice. We finally got caught up on everything – extended family news, work news, kid news, plans for the summer, personal news. We talked in the car, in the restaurant, in the nail place. It was perfect.

After that, we each headed to finish off our perfect day with more relaxation. I went to Tuscany Day Spa to use my Christmas present gift card from Doug, Zander & Zevan. Yes, 4 months later! Since the package was for a Half Day of Heaven, which consists of an hour facial, hour massage and lunch, I traded my lunch for a glycolic peel. The facial was great. Kelly was an aesthetician who was new to me, and she did a great job. I had a massage with Harrison, and he really got into the deep tissue, which got painful at times, but was really good for me. And the music he played was great – it was instrumental versions of all the love songs from the 80s. I knew the words to nearly every song – and it was a nice memory.

Yeah, we definitely have to do a day like this again.

Ahhhhh…
