I kind of forgot.....

Dang! I almost forgot....NO, I DID forget that today I had a lunch date with my mom, sister and Linda. (I remembered all month until this weekend....then....well then....I forgot)

My mom decided a while back that it would be fun to start a new tradition.  I love traditions and so I was in.  She decided that on her friend's birthday we would go to lunch at Chili's like her and Sevim use to do and have baby back ribs....just like when they went.  Mom also thought it would be good for Linda to have us with her on her mom's birthday.  I think it's a fine tradition.....and just a week before Susan and my birthdays.  So we celebrated Sevim's birthday and mine and Susan's....3 birds with 1 stone! ha ha (my mom's still a Stone)

Thank goodness Susan called and reminded me....after I was already late. By the time I got there our lunch was just minutes away from being brought to us so it worked out great!  I'm so glad they called .... I would have felt terrible if I would have missed it. We had so much fun reminiscing about Sevim.  Sevim was a classy, little Turkish lady.  She was a great friend to my mom...and my mom was her best friend!

We had such a great time that we decided to go in February too since Linda and my mom have birthdays that month.  I told mom we should start that tradition now while she was still alive.  Fun Times!

Pedi's

One of my favorite things to do is to get a pedicure.  I love having my feet pampered.  I really love going where they take time and don't hurry.  That didn't happen today but I knew it wouldn't.  The place close to me likes to hurry for some reason....I'd tip them more if they let me stay a little longer.  I didn't have a lot of extra time today though and so that is why Kathy O and I decided to go close.

It's fun going with friends and Kathy and I have gone together a few times.  Some how are timing got off....I think she goes more often than I do.  I would like to have a pedicure every week but can't afford it so I wait 4-6 weeks.....by then I am so ready!

I decided to break out of my norm today and change it up on the color. (I usually pick pink or mauve) I let Ivy pick out a blue for me and I think she did a great job.  Ivy came with me since she spent the night and the kids went to piano. She was entertained with my iPad while sitting in the chair by me. We bought drinks first and I brought each of us one of my favorite candy bars....Crunchie by Cadbury....the honeycomb candy bar. We were set and enjoyed ourselves while being pampered!

I'm glad people are willing to be paid to rub feet and massage legs and make those toe nails shine!  I love feeling spoiled!  I also love the massage chairs....that's part of the enjoyment too!  Mmmmmm!!!
