Someone slap me awake

I totally forgot I had really fun pictures from TWO weekends ago. One of my oldest friends - no - she's not my oldest friend in that she's old - she's my oldest friend in that I've known her longest - now behave yourself - came to visit me before deploying to Afghanistan/Kuwait/Iraq for a year. And seeing as how I didn't think it likely for her to get a whole lot of pampering while over there, it only made sense that we go do it before she left.

So, we went to Yvonne's Day spa and splurged.

She had the Dr. Fish Pedicure.

I had the Jello Pedicure.

Then we both had the spa Manicure and pedicure. It was a very nice, relaxing day.

As a point of interest, I'm knitting the top I was going to wear for New Year's Eve, until I changed my mind and decided I was going to wear a halter top and skirt - so I started knitting a beaded silk shrug for that. Until the SigO changed my mind because he's stuck on a red dress I modeled for him that doesn't require any knitted items at all. None. How weird is that? So, the gorgeous lace top, and the luscious silk shrug are both hibernating while I work on a cashmere beret - that feels awesome - can't wait for that to finish. The only thing that's interuppted that is the traveling scarf - which I almost completely forgot about until the last minute, and just got that knit up and ready to send today.

So, that's it. That's the excitement in my life - for now - stay tuned - New Years Eve is less than 2 weeks away. Woo Hoo!!!
