Girl Time!

On Thursday, I did something new! My sister, Corey, took me out for a pedicure as a birthday gift. How did I manage to reach the age of 36 without ever having a pedicure?! It was the ultimate in pampering. Sitting in a large reclining massage chair, soaking my feet in warm water, then getting them massaged and scrubbed and toenails painted....ahhhh! I'm spoiled!


After our pedicures, we went to lunch at Julia's, a restaurant at the top of Queen Anne hill. The restaurant used to be a Victorian home and was decorated with all kinds of antiques, old photographs and beautiful stained glass windows. It reminded me a lot of my Aunt Karen's house in Portland that she lived in when I was a kid.

Corey and I tried to take a picture of ourselves at Julia's...do we look like sisters?


We had a very nice afternoon together and I think I'm going to have to treat myself to a pedicure more often than every 36 years!

Bag Tag

My sister, Corey, tagged me for Bag Tag, so I have to post what I have in my bag, or purse. I'm so glad I'm not in baby mode anymore! I actually have a very clean purse and realized I could get away with a much smaller one.



The purse itself I bought about 4 years in San Diego at Wilson's Leather...it was on sale for $40, I think, regular $80 or $90. It's held up really well except the zipper doesn't work anymore. I like it so much, though, that I can't get rid of it!

As for the contents, starting at the top, one pack of SuperMint Extra, one pack of Cinnamon Orbit...depending on my mood! A mirror, Advil in a Tylenol case, three hairbands, bandaids, my wallet (also from Wilson's Leather), my Washington Mutual check register (yes, I still have an account there, even though Brad works for their rival next door!) an envelope of temple cards, my name tag from Bainbridge Athletic Club (I only worked there for 6 months over a year ago...don't know why I still have it...), an OB tampon, Chapstick, a measuring tape, my kid's immunization records and my grocery list! That's all folks!
