To add insult to injury, I was summoned to jury duty today. They kept me until 2 pm (fascinating process that I was happy to be a part of, but the timing was a bit sucky). I then washed my car (it was super sunny today in NorCal) and then had a mani/pedi.
Bliss!
Only cloud was that the ladies kept asking their clients, "How many children do you have?" I sat there hoping quietly, "Oh, please don't ask me this. What am I supposed to say? 'I'm barren, I won't ever have kids!'" Luckily, they didn't ask. I buried my head behind the latest Cosm.o and prayed.
Now my toes are a beautiful deep cranberry color and my fingers, a cute pink. I look and feel good.
Step 2 of Operation BFN therapy involves a huge latte and a donut tomorrow morning (after my second "confirmation beta").
Step 3 will take place Saturday here, involving champagne mimosas. Bottomless champagne mimosas. Or manmosas. Or beermosas. Fun?
Good plan, no?

Jem, I hate this for you, but I'm glad you're taking time for yourself - I can't do pedicures because I am VERY ticklish! xoxo
Excellent plan!!!
I wish I lived closer to you so we could make it a double. (Date, that is. All the drinks are assumed to be doubles anyway.)
well I know its not a tradeoff, but that event sure does sound fun! I'm SO glad you are taking time for yourself and doing some fun things.
Glad you took great care of yourself today.... (with the exception of Jury Duty)
THinking of you.
Pampering therapy is always good. Enjoy it! Also a fan of retail therapy and alcohol therapy. LOL. You are so strong :)
How wonderful your plan is! I hope you enjoy the pampering and treats- you deserve it
Excellent plan! Though I have to admit I'm a little jealous of your weather.
sounds like a good plan. keep up the pampering! you deserve it!
Considering what you are going through, you are doing SO well. And while I wish that you didn't have to go through this, I also think this pampering sounds amazing. It's just what you need.
Continued hugs and love. <3
Hey, that's my friend you're talking about! "Barren" is like calling a woman "an old maid". Just because you haven't had a baby doesn't mean you have to use such hurtful language about yourself! How about much loved, but not a Mom.
With hot toes....
And great weekend plans...
And, sigh, sun! When 3/4 the country has been hit by an ice storm, sunny and warm is no small thing.
Great plan!!
I'm really sorry this isn't a completely different kind of celebration :(
BIG, HUGE, hugs coming your way!!
Not a good plan - an OUTSTANDING plan!!! Hooray!!!
*hug*
