A Better Day

Yesterday was definitely a better day than the day before. And I'm hoping over the course of today and tomorrow it will get even better. :)

When I woke up yesterday morning, I decided I need some "me" time, so I got on the phone and made a few appointments for myself. After I made my appointments, I got a call from Hubby asking me what I had planned for the day. I told him I was having a pamper-me day, and he asked if he could join me. He needed to go downtown too and run some errands. I said, "Of course!", then I hopped in the shower and waited for Hubby to get home from work.

It's always a treat when Hubby and I have a day off together, which usually means Hubby has taken the day off from work. Yesterday he went in for about 3 hours, THEN he took the rest of the day off and we headed downtown.

First up on the list was breakfast with Hubby. I enjoy going out to breakfast with him. It's so rare that he and I actually get to have breakfast together, and its the one meal of the day where no one is bitching about what happened to them that day. It's a new day with a fresh start, and we usually have pleasant conversations where we actually get to laugh and just enjoy each other's company.

After breakfast Hubby dropped me off at the salon, where I treated myself to a brazilian waxing, which isn't so much a treat during the process, but afterwards, I just love that smooth clean feeling. hehe Then, I got a fabulous pedicure! The place I usually go for my pedi's is a "whip 'em in - whip 'em out" kinda place. This time I decided to the let the girl who does my waxing do my pedi too, and I have to say, that was the absolute BEST pedicure I've ever had. Well worth the extra $15 I had to spend to have it done in this salon! I've decided that I'm going to stick with her from now on, because she actually made it the treat it should be.

Then, of course, after my pedi I just HAD to get my nails done, lol - it just wouldn't be a true pamper-me day without it. I went to my usual nail place for this one. And yes, these are the same peeps who do the "whip 'em in - whip 'em out" pedicures. I think these people are losing my business. I just wasn't as happy with my nails this time as I usually am. And these people have zero personality. The guy who did my nails didn't look at me once while he was working on me. Nor did he speak to me. That bugs me. I am a beauty professional - licensed in the industry for over 25 years. The absolute most important aspect of a customer service business is customer service. Skills are important too, of course, but if you can dazzle your customers and have them leave with a smile on their face, regardless of the skill factor, then you are more apt to have that customer come back. Okay, let me rephrase that - you need to be damn good at your job to work on me. I'm about as picky as they come, which I'm sure stems from the fact that I know every aspect of the beauty industry. But I can also be forgiving to a certian extent when needed, because I can also go back and fix the screw-ups if need be. Well, like I said, I just wasn't as happy when I left this place yesterday. I didn't let it spoil my day though. My nails are do-able for the next few weeks, but I think next time I'm going to give the other salon a shot at doing them as well. I feel more pampered when I leave there.

After my pampering time, Hubby and I caught up with each other again, and we went to Wally-World to do some grocery shopping. By the time we were done there, it had been hours since breakfast, and both of us were getting hungry again. Since it was coming up on dinner time, we decided to go to dinner as well. We stopped by Pizza Hut, and realized it was their buffet night (they only do those on Tuesdays around these parts), but the buffet didn't start until 5:00. That meant we had an hour to kill.

This was pretty funny, really. Hubby and I looked at each other and asked what we could do to waste an hour. At the same time, he and I both said, "Toy Store". We're not talkin' children's toys here either *giggles* - so we got a laugh out of the mutal agreement, and we headed to the adult toy store.

I love new toys! To the layman (pardon the pun), one would think you can only have so many toys. I, for one, can never have enough! With all the different sizes, types, and speeds available, I'm like a kid in a candy store. Lotions and potions, lingerie, dildos, vibrators, pleasure toys for him ... lions, and tigers, and bears! OH MY! hehe So we walked around the store for about 45 minutes before I made my decision on my new pleasure pal, in addition to some tasty cherries jubilee and wet lube. Satisfied with my choices, and getting hornier by the second, Hubby and I headed to dinner.

Dinner wasn't really too thrilling. We pretty much ate to our heart's and stomach's content, without too much conversation. This was really the first day in almost two weeks that Hubby and I have even been out of the house, because of both of us being sick, and I think the day was starting to wear us out. LoL. Now with full bellies, we were getting sleepy, and it was time to go home.

On the way home, I spied the bag with my new toy in it, and I started to get horny all over again. Nothing like the thought of a new toy to perk you up! ;)

When we got home, we unloaded groceries, then I headed to the bedroom, peeled my clothes off, loaded my new toy with a fresh new battery, and popped open the wet lube. YUMMY!! Being freshly waxed, and now all slippery wet, I was ready for some serious action!!! Thankfully, Hubby wasn't far behind.

One of the best parts of having a new toy is that I know the sex that night will be all about using that new toy, which means the focus for the evening is going to be my pleasure. That's not always the case, not by a long shot, so when times like this come around, my horny-mones go into over-drive.

Hubby and I enjoyed about an hour of yummy toy time, and I have decided I definitely like my new toy! I think Hubby likes my new toy too, because he was checking out all the hmmmm-variations on it with me, hehe. How delicous!

Yes, I would have to say yesterday was definitely a better day! And tonight is Ladies Night, so I'm hoping today will finish off being a better day as well. ;)
