The weekend of bridal showers and beautification

I went to a friend's bridal shower on Saturday. What can I say. It was a bridal shower. Complete with the silly games (though I have to say "toilet paper bride" was tons of fun). There were lots of girls. Ok. That was all of Saturday afternoon.

Saturday morning I took Apache on a nice two hour walk to Starbucks (it probably would have only been 45 minutes had I not stopped along the way to chat with people and not read the NY Times at Starbucks).

Saturday night I went out and randomly splurged and spent money at Barnes and Noble. I bought a book called Who's Who in Hell about a journalist who deals with interoffice politics, and decides to write a book about all the news that is happening in the city that they don't print. I totally bought it because I thought the title was funny and the cover looked cool (I guess today is my superficial day -- read the next paragraphs to understand more).

Sunday was massive beautification treatment day. I got a pedicure (and dragged a happy Sarah along to get her FIRST pedicure). (Pedicure rating: Great and relaxing. Nail polish painting a little sloppy. But after an hour of foot massaging, the nail polish is more like a finishing touch). Then I got a trim. And the stylist blow dried my hair strait. I have NEVER seen it so strait. It did take him the better part of an hour to do it - so the chances of it being repeated in this style are slim to none, unless I want to pay the (very reasonable) $40 to have him do it again.

Now, the humor for the morning is that I decided since I had this done last night, and totally didn't have the opportunity to show it off, I would skip my morning work-out class so I wouldn't ruin my hair. I have every intention to go running this afternoon instead. So Karen and Sarah are MERCILESSLY teasing me for my vanity. Dorks.
