Pink Toesys
Fri Mar 18 2005


Today, thanks to a gift certificate given to me by my mother in law, I went for a pedicure to a very nice place not far from here. I sat with my feet in a warm bubbling whirlpool, was massaged and lotioned and now my toenails are the sweetest shade of pale pink you ever saw.

I feel so special!!!

This is a treat I may have to think about giving myself once in a while. The best part was when the lady put two hot towels over my lower legs and feet. Ahhhhhhh.
Bliss!

When I came home I found my first paycheck waiting for me in the mailbox. Woo Hoo! I hardly know what to do with it.... It is my habit to squirrel bits of money here and there for this and that. Save some, spend some, keep some for a rainy day, and THEN spend it. I wonder if I DO have any squirrel genes in my make up?

I leave you with some sage advice from Rabbi Nachman of Breslov:

"Whenever possible, avoid eating in a hurry.
Even at home,
don't gobble up your food.
Eating is an act of holiness.
It requires full presence of mind."

    Good advise not to do other than savor food
    I am baking a chicken with Potatoes, carrots, onions, it is stufffed with garlic and leak..
    Sure smells spicy. I did spice it up with some herbs..
    hope it tastes as good as it smells. I need some chicken soup..

    Wheeeeeee! Congrats on the first check!! May there be many more to follow! :o)

    I need a pedicure, but wouldn't spend the money myself to get one. I should, it would be nice. Maybe I'll just beg a foot rub instead.

    Not that I want to say anything bad about your Rabbi... but he would have to be a man, to say that. Any breast feeding mother knows you simply eat when and if you can, in a hurry or not. ;-)
