A Birthday Pedicure

I love birthdays, whether it's mine, or a friends or a siblings, or if like the Mad Hatter, you decide to celebrate one of your "un-birthdays" they are always fun to be a part of.

But tomorrow (Saturday) is my 17th birthday, and yesterday I went on my birthday date with grandma.

Ever since the birthday when we turn six, grandma has always taken each of her 17 grandchildren, for a morning of shopping, and then lunch at our restaurant of choice. We always look forward to these dates, and I don't think it would feel quite like a birthday without it.

Yesterday on my birthday date, grandma and I did something I have never done before, we got a pedicure! And my-o-my I have never felt so pampered before! It was so much fun to do, and since it isn't something I would ever spend my own money on, it was a treat! Probably the next time I will ever do it again, is if I have a daughter, and I can take her when she turns 17!

I have always wanted to have a fench manicure done, but since I play violin it wouldn't be practical because it would chip right away! So I had a french pedicure done instead. And the lady that did it even put flowers on each of my big toes!

I was very impressed, because the lady painted the flowers, she hand the tiniest little brush, and a very steady hand!

Things so completely out of the ordinary even if they are very small things, are what add the fun and sparkle to our lives, and give us a fun topic of conversation at the dinner table! ;)
