I live in a cell
I am currently surrounded by 6 stacks of claims files. I am enveloped in a mass of paperwork. Kind of nice - makes me feel like I have my own space that no one can intefere with - I mean right now no one can see my computer screen. I AM FREE!!!
It is lovely outside - funny how I sweat on my walk to work but not during my afternoon walk to get food. I think I must walk pretty briskly in the morning. slow down chica - work will still be there even if I get there 2 minutes later. I feel like I have to walk fast for some reason - like I am on a mission to get to work and no one can stop me. I guess I think that if I walk to slow people will stare and be like - who does she think she is walking all slow when she knows she has to get to work?! I would like to learn how to casually walk. I get uncomfortable with a big group of coworkers when everyone is just strolling along and I am like speed it up folks. I don't want to hang out with you all freaking day!
On a girly note - so my sister took me to a salon to get my nails and toes painted and when she went to pay I was in shock at how expensive the total was...I will not say cuz you all will think we are crazy but know that is was FREAKING EXPENSIVE! Of course I would never go back...or would I?! Turns out, I have never had a pedi or mani last for so long. I mean typically my nails are shot starting on day 1. they chip instantaneously - my nails break in a week, my hands are just nasty. So now it is like a month later - my nails have never been so strong and my bright pink pedi still looks good! Maybe it is worth it to splurge? or maybe not. Maybe I just don't need a mani and pedi. but I have nasty hands and my feet aren;t going to win any beauty contests. Do I always tell myself it's ok to splurge all the time?! I think I do which means I am never going to have money to buy a house!!! When do I give and when do I take?! Do I keep on buying my insanely pricey face products because the lotion is so soft and my face feels lovely? Do I continue to use eye cream even though I don;t really have to worry just yet?! or do i just use my over the counter eucerin which kicks ass? It's just not the same going to walgreens for facial products when I can go to a department store and feel snooty. I am lame I know. I am not a snoot I swear! but nice things are nice to have...as long as they don;t define me!

God, you are SUCH A SNOB.
.......
JOKING!!! I say you should continue to splurge on the face products...and probably the mani/pedi too... there's going to be times in your life that you may have to pinch pennies, so enjoy pampering yourself if you can!

Don't listen to Mac! HAVE TO get the good mani/pedi, especially pedi to keep those feet healthy. Boys could use one every once in awhile too...:)

I have done research on the mani/pedi thing! You really do get what you pay for. The more expensive places really do use better products which means your mani/pedi's last way longer! My cheepy neighborhood place is ok but man - my toes even chipped the day after. And I went to Mani Pedi in Protrero Hill - fabulous and looks great even weeks afterwards!! Sorry MAC - spend the money now while you can and should!! And your face products - MAC - if you're going to look at her face for a long time, you better tell her to get the good stuff!! :)

Well Miss Ato - would you care to divulge any of that priveleged info? What brand of face stuff do you buy?
And where did you get your mani/pedi done? If that place was crazy expensive, try Mani Pedi in Protrero Hill - $27 for a good pedi and like maybe $40 for mani and pedi?

nice things are nice to have... i look at this way... you, especially you, work your ass off... these small things bring a smile to your face... for the hours you work, you deserve to pamper yourself on whatever things important or trivial they may be.... don't even sweat it... like you said - they don't define you and don't let them. you're all good!
