Today I went to this spa (yes it is a mini-vacation!) and was totally pampered with and thanks to my friends, K and K, who also took me out to lunch.  And even though I had to take a nap when I got home (mimosas at the spa, strawberry margaritas at lunch HEY! it was after 2pm! quit your tongue clicking.  Oh, but the mimosas were before noon, as they should be), I had a fabulous time.  As we were walking from the spa to lunch, one of the K’s said, "Okay, lets go eat.  I am ready for more people to serve me."  Amen.

I felt like I was one of my own kids for a day!  Waited on hand and foot, paying for nothing, not driving, eating too much of what I wanted, napping.  But I am much better behaved in both the spa and restaurant setting.

Yesterday my wonderful brother came over and in the arctic rain, if it ever rains there, we he fixed the van and replaced the windshield wipers.  Can I tell you how much I appreciate my family?  The day before when my mom came by with all the stuff for Lexy, she also brought Trader Joe’s gift certificates that my step-dad (when will somebody coin a better term?) picked up for us.  I’m so lucky.  It’s not the stuff, but it’s the having people in your family who want to do things for you and you wanting to do things for them that makes me feel lucky.  I’m suddenly too sleepy to think.  Goodnight.
