Some me time

Well, my BFF reminded me this weekend it is important to take some time out and gussy yourself up a bit.  And I have to say, after some hesitation I’ve found myself greatful for that “me” upkeep.

Which makes me think…it’s pretty easy for us go a day without showering, or maybe stop shaving for a day…or a week (maybe that’s more me), or just get lazy with our fashion wardrobe.  But it is refreshing to push yourself to clean things up a bit…

So my weekend consisted of the following

• Getting my car washed – My car is still ghetto fabulous with the missing hubcab ( I do plan on ordering it) from my sidewalk collision, but getting it washed made it run like new in my heart
• Mani/Pedi – my toes and nails were a site to see before…and now I can’t help but to gaze upon them all day now!
• Some work clothes – I heart JCPenny’s and their sales
• Dyed the hair – thank goodness for hair dye in a box! (I’m not made of money)

So these few things although may be the norm for some, it’s been awhile for me. 

Oh, yeah, and the shaving of the legs can be a good thing too

Weekend update

So, I skipped the weekend blogging…unlike the sister…I feel like an unfaithful blogger, but when you have a turbulent weekend I guess that’s what you do right?

There is one story I wanted to share with you though…cause i did have unusual event over the weekend.

I’d like to think of myself as a passive, intelligent, well thought out type of person…sometimes paranoid, and sarcastic most of the time, but not too crazy.  So when I went to my bff’s bday party and had several drinks in me, my alter ego came out it seems.

Before we go into that though, let me tell you about some secret skills I gained over my bachelorette party 1 year ago now.  I had the very clever idea to have all my girlfriends over and take part in a class.  I wasn’t a fan of the strip tease male dancing historically.  And I wasn’t looking for that type of embarressment on my day so instead we hired a Pole dancing instructor.  It was a beautiful thing, we set up the pole smack dab in the middle of my bff’s living room and all had a informative session.  Needless to say we all loosened up with the jello shots, and it was just a good time overall.  Feel free to use my idea for any future parties of yours .;)

So this weekend when I had one two many beverages in me, and some suggested words whispered in my ear at the site of a pole in the middle of the “upscale” bar we were at…without even a second thought I went for it.

There I was, handing my drink off to my bff, jumping up on the little soap box, grabbing on to the pole and doing the double spin with my thighs wrapped around it.  And can I just say at the time, it was amazing.

Now that i look back, it may not of been in the best of taste, but what can I say…it was one of those weekends.
