Mani / Pedi Oh My...

In my attempt to relax I've noticed that I want to relax "NOW" not later. That being said I received a gift certificate to my nail place this past Mothers Day and I couldn't wait to use it so I didn't.

Yesterday, a whopping day later from receiving the certificate I had my mother join me and I went and got a super deluxe spa mani / pedi. Now sitting longer and getting more treatments than normal was really nice. I could do that weekly, really!

It was nice to spend time with my mother and we ended up having lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe. She really liked it and I like that they always let me get the kids meals there.

In closing for yesterday I realized that I need to know that just because I receive any type of certificate it doesn't mean I have to use it ASAP but that I can hold onto it and use it at some other time.

Until next time...

Four Days...

I can't believe the "D" day is four days away.

I decided to ditch independent study yesterday to spend the day with my daughter who is on Spring Break right now. We went and had lunch with my brother and mother and it was nice. We even took a sight seeing tour of Mulhulland Drive like tourists when we drive through it a lot to get back to the westside after visiting friends and family in the valley. I did however make it to my ballet class which I love. It's funny, I see now when people find a passion they just jump right into it. I love my class, I love being challenged, and I'm willing to buy nothing to continue private lessons every other week. I really feel good a bit more about myself. I find it personally rewarding.

We had two funerals yesterday...one at sea funeral for Herbie and we added Josh to our pet cemetery down stairs with my mothers rabbit and our other hamster we used to have Little Little Cutie.

Today is the funeral for my bosses mother. Since my husband grew up with my bosses family we and my in laws will be attending. Today my goal after a bit of work is be there for my boss and try to have compassion where I would normally start getting frustrated and understand she may not be there mentally today. I'm noticing a lot lately that reacting first isn't a good thing because you do never know what people are going through.

Our day will end with my last Passover with Eric's family. I got a taste of the soup for tonight last night and let me tell you, the soup will be yummy!! It will be nice to spend some time with Eric's family. I'm debating on providing a good-bye letter to my in laws. I think I will just mention to them that I have appreciated them and all they've done and well, if you know me that is a large step there lol. Seriously though, they have done a lot for us and my mother in law checks in with me about school and how I'm doing. I think we've all grown.

Enough out of me more tomorrow. I can't believe tomorrow will be the final three day count down.
