A Birthday and Company...


Well, Good morning everyone! Last week was a busy one for me. It seemed the more I tried to get done, the farther behind I got. You know how you let the small things at home go and all of a sudden they turn into big things?Hahaaaa...Well, that's what my house looked like and we had company coming...Suffice it to say I finally got caught up but I VOW to keep up with things better in the future...You'd think I'd learn!

Saturday, I challenged my girlfriend to do something we'd NEVER done before...get a pedicure...WHAT??Hahaaa. No, I'd NEVER had a professional pedicure and neither had my friend. I'm a do-it-yourself type of person. But you know what? It Was Nice! Can't say I'll rush out and do it again any time soon but I certainly was surprised.

On Sunday we all celebrated Hubby's 65th birthday...He didn't want a huge Anything so we just packed up and went out to breakfast. I think as you grow older, you lose your taste for those boisterous celebrations. At our age, to just be remembered is enough. Well, that's about it for now. Hope you all are starting off Monday on a Good note! It's almost lunchtime here so I guess I'll go get a sandwich made...Enjoy the day!

Happy belated B.D. to your hubby!

I have never had a pedi either, can't say I'd like someone messing with my feet lol. But I might give it a try one day.

Have a great week!

Hi Donna, happy birthday to your hubby! Believe it or not, I have a professional pedicure (and manicure) every time I go home to SA (every ten weeks) When I live/d in SA, the pedi was a once every two months, while the manicure was monthly. You can imagine how I miss that here in the boondocks! Have a great day. (((Hugs))) Jo

I've had one pedicure and will never have another one. I absolutely cannot stand having my feet messed with! Ask my hubby!! Happy belated birthday to your hubby. We like low key celebrations, too.

Ann said...

I do that "VOW" to keep things caught up all the time and I never can manage to stick to it.....lol
I've never had a pedicure either and I doubt that I ever will.

Donna said...

LOL, love the funny pic! Happy birthday to your sweet hubby. I understand about the celebration stuff. We don't go for all the hoopla these days either.

And you just got your first pedicure?! I got my first one about 4 years ago. It sure is nice for someone else to do the trimming, haha! I try to get several during the summer months so that my little piggies look good for sandal season. You might need to treat yourself more often next year!

Happy Birthday to your husband Donna! I haven't done the pedicure thing yet either...and I really don't plan to. I do my hands...but NOT feet!! We like low key celebrations too!

Happy belated 65th birthday to your hubby!

I've never had a pedicure either, and I'm not sure if I'll ever decide to spend the money for one (can you say "cheapskate"? LOL), but that did sound like a great way to spend time with a friend!

Love the 2 hamsters! Too cute!

Brenda said...

Please tell your sweetie Happy belated Birthday for me!

I don't have much interest in my house right now, I do as much as I have to and not much more.

Breakfast out is a treat. Belated best wishes to hubby from the Great White North, that isn't actually white yet.

I turned 65 last month. So far, it's not too much different than 64. :)

Not too much photography lately?

Dolores said...

Oh my dear sweet friend.... how blessed we are to have one another! GOD IS GOOD!

I love the picture of the kitten on your previous post. I wish I could give a home to every animal that doesn't have a home........ sigh......
Love

Paula said...

*haha* LOVED the picture, Miss Donna!
I don't know about the pedi, either... I've had a couple of manicures but I don't know how I would feel about someone touching my footsies! *haha*
Happy Belated Birthday to your hubby~ and breakfast out sounds like the perfect way to celebrate!
