Treating myself


I'm doing something a little different for ME today - going to BJ Grand Salon and getting a manicure, pedicure, AND facial!! Wow. I've never been the kind of girl who indulges herself in things like that, but it's a big year for me and I decided I deserve it. Besides, it's been a LONG winter and maybe this'll shake me out of my "is it still February?" (thank God, no) funk. So I called them up at 355-0505 and they were cool enough to get me in as soon as they could.

I'm nervous about the manicure in particular...because I bite my nails and with only brief successes I've been unable to break the habit. Nail biting is actually called "onychophagia!" I don't feel like I'm excessively nervous or compulsive, but like most people I've done it as long as I can remember. (I suppose that makes it compulsive) I talked to Renata at BJ Grand Salon and she said, "I think we can help you with that." Maybe paying attention to my hands - rather than hiding them - will mark a turning point AT LAST??

As for the pedicure, no one should be subjected to my feet this time of year. Ohhh, but they NEED some relief and pampering after a winter in boots and thick, sweaty socks. I'm looking forward to that indulgence more than anything today. I'll have to tell you more about the facial once it's done - I've NEVER had one!! Something tells me this will be really fun, though, and something I could get very, very used to.
