A day of being pampered; and retail therapy ... again!

Did you know that retail therapy is hard on the ankles? It must be true, because mine are the size of whaleboats ... or is that whales? But ... ah ... the rewards were magnificent.

After a leisurely morning, I dressed in my special pansy top (as per one of my userpics) and black pants and black capelet. No jewelry, because I was going to be dolled up by the experts. I was picked up around 12:15 but got driven around a bit. Still, I arrived at the Bay after 1. I redeemed my ticket to the Garden Party and was handed a pretty green shopping bag with all sorts of goodies in it, including a pot of white tulips! My next stop was to get a Martini Manicure. While my nails were done to imitate a French manicure (at much less fuss), I sipped on a Pomegranate Martini.

I spoke to both M and John. Even though I moaned about how much I'd spent, M told me I needed to pamper myself. Um, hon, I don't think it quite counts if I'm the one paying for it!!! I told John all about the extra flower seeds I'd gotten, not to mention the gardening mag AND the pot of tulips. Yes, soon, we shall be growing real things.

In the meantime, Enterprise is waiting for me ... and then blissful, blessed sleep. Okay, pain killers, here I come! And I'll dream of the two ballots to win even more prizes. Yaaay. Okay, I'll shut up now (but only because my joints are screaming at me)!

Contented (well, one would hope so) hugs,
