Try a Little Something Different

My dad used to say, "If your scared, say scared". Generally, that little gem was spoken (or yelled depending on the moment) during a ball game or some other appropriate moment. I will even admit that there was a time or two where I had to say "scared".

I bet he never thought it might apply to my day today.

First, before jumping into this little diddy, I want to say Happy Birthday to my Mom. Today is her .... ummmmm, yeah .... I aint that dumb. Lets just say that she is old enough to enjoy the benefits of discounts at Hardees, KFC, etc. Free cups of coffee or small drinks can be important!!!!!

Apparently I had the year wrong for the photos of Rusty with the family. I guess the Christmas Eve party was at our house last year. We've only been in this house for two Christmas's and I thought it was our first year here that we had the party at our house. Now, I did receive one photo of Rusty chilling with the family. I will include a copy of the picture in a future post. If anyone else has some, please send them to me.

Now back to the adventure.

For Christmas, I received a gift certificate (you too? WOW kinda of unheard of HUH?) to a place a business that I never figured I would go to much less actually partake of the services. Overall I dont have a problem with these businesses; in fact, they generally give me an hour or two of peace and quiet. However, today was the day for me to go.

So, after slaving away in the yard this morning, Big E asked if I wanted to go with her to the nail salon. The what? Oh yeah, my gift certificate. Having nothing better to do (take a nap, have a cold beverage, etc) I agreed to go.

When we arrived at the nail salon, Elizabeth signed us in and she picked out her color. After a minute or two, we were shown to our seats.

Now, I've been told by several men that pedicures are a great experience. In fact, I had a "BIG TOUGH CONSTRUCTION MAN" tell me that he goes at least once a month.

So, feeling comfortable in my manhood and going with my wife, I agreed to have a little fun. I will admit that the experience was rather enjoyable but not something I would want to do on a regular basis.

As we neared the end of the experience, the young lady asked if I wanted some clear polish on my toes (I guess this is typically the case for men). Remembering that we have an office party tonight, I promptly told her "NO, I want the most electric color of blue". After she giggled, the older man handling Elizabeth suggested "Midnight Blue". I think he thought I was kidding.

Anyway, as you can see by the picture, I went with Midnight Blue and I think I wear well. Now before you go thinking that I took a picture of Elizabeths feet, check out those hairy toes, thats me.



Are those feet beautiful or what? We are going to the office party tonight and I am wearing sandals. Thats BRAVE!!! Heck, Ive already gone to Publix with sandals and I will be traveling for the next three weeks.

Secure as I might be, I am hoping that this stuff wears off soon. I really want to try this cool lime green color that I saw on the shelf next time .....

I hope you have a great 4th of July. I think we are going to grill a few hotdogs and hamburgers with some of the guys. Enjoy!!!
