My V-Day Presents to Myself

Well, as usual, my dear hubby got me zilch for Valentine's Day. I totally expected that, so as usual, I got somethings for myself. Here are my splurges:

First, I bought this adorable print from Studio Mela. I am a big book nut and a huge advocate of reading to children, so this print is just perfect for me. I can't wait for it to get here!


The second indulgence I made was for a pedicure and manicure. It was the first time I had a pedicure and only the second time having a manicure. My sister, who is a pedicure addict, and I went together. I *knew* where we were going and what we were getting, I just didn't THINK about it. So, here were some of the first-timer's mistakes I made:

1. I wore shoes and socks, not flip flops. After the manicure was done, I was given disposable flops, but they gave me two right feet so the one on the left was only on half my foot. I looked really strange!
2. I wore jeans, which could not push up past the middle of my calves. For those who haven't had a manicure, the nail technician doing the pedicure uses lotion to massage your whole calf and foot.
   
3. I did not shave my toes! (I am an ordinary woman and I know there are others out there who have a little hair to grow on your toes). I was so embarrassed when this very handsome man comes to do my pedicure and I have to plop these hairy digits out in front of him!
   

But, I got through it all and I love the results! My husband was thrilled with how sexy my hands and feet looked and wants me to go back regularly!

Hey, now you know what my face AND feet look like! Aren't you grossed out happy? I didn't get too close with the camera because, believe it or not, they look really old when photographed up close! Don't believe me? Try it on your own feet (not you twenty-somethings).

ANYWAY, did you do anything special for yourself for Valentine's Day? Was my husband the only one to stink at gifts?
