The alarm this morning went off entirely too early in my estimation, and I certainly wasn't ready for it. But the cats were more than ready for me to get up.
Work... hmmmm not much to say except it was a long day, not bad, a few burps, but not bad. I was busy all of the day. Nevertheless, even though it was a busily productive day, I am very happy it's over.
Took some of my butterscotch cookies in for myself and some of the coworkers to try. I decided that if I am doing a cookbook, I want to make sure the foods are tasty and good on not just my say so. Everyone really liked them, so they passed the test. Hooray!
A couple of weeks ago, the husband had to go out of state for training. He thought about getting himself an iPod like mine for the trip so he had some entertainment. By the way, I should mention I absolutely LOOOOVE my Pod, I have an 80g 5th gen classic. It goes many places with me and always goes on the road trips, much easier than carrying cd's for the car. :o) Anyhow, moving on, I didn't think he was even interested in one, he didn't seem to be, so I was a bit shocked when he said he wanted one. I offered to loan him mine for the trip, but he said no. Well.... when he got home, one of the first things he said was he wished he had gotten the Pod so he didn't have to listen to an annoying coworker yak the whole plane trip back. Needless to say she is tedious at anytime, I would hate to be trapped next to her on a plane! So the day after he got home we toddled over to Best Buy to get him one. They were out of them, even out of the 160g model, and the salesman said he didn't know if they would be getting them in again as the distribution center didn't show when they would be getting any. I thought phooey, the guy didn't know what he was talking about. Poor hubby though, he moped the rest of the day. So, when we got home, I checked Apple's site, nope they are still selling like hotcakes like I thought, so I went to BestBuy.com and found them in stock, told hubby to give me his BB charge card and I ordered him one on the spot. He got so excited that he was gonna get a pod before his next travel back to Seattle in a couple of weeks. So he then had to ask me how to get iTunes and his account all set up and once he did that, he immediately started downloading and subscribing to podcasts etc. LOL LOL then pouted when he found out it would be today before it arrived. I spent all last week and this past weekend listening to him mention off and on all day that he wanted his Pod. Like a kid asking "Are we there yet?" So as I sit here and type he is charging and syncing his new Black Pod. I had to laugh though as he was registering it and deciding what to name it, I came up with "Hysterical Toes" because he goes with me to get pedicures and gets one himself, and always picks out a fun polish for his toes, (heck it makes us all smile and giggle to see them) and one time did his bright blue, like a sapphire bass boat blue, and his sister, who went with us that day, said, "those aren't just happy toes, those are hysterical toes." Ergo, the name for the Pod. Hey, you gotta love a man who is so comfortable with his masculinity and knows how to have fun and be shocking by painting his toenails. And the gals at the salon just love him, they say he's good for business and they get many more male customers now, because the wives see him and persuade their hubbys to come in, of course not all get their toenails polished. Several of my coworkers think it's neat and one of the instructors I noticed is doing his too! Maybe he's started a trend. Of course his annoying coworker just about has an apopletic fit everytime he even mentions men getting pedicures. So there is another reason to keep doing it, to annoy her.
The funny thing is, the first time he did it, his sister took him, and he picked a metallic plum/purple color, and when he got home, he was stepping out of the shower and I noticed they were PURPLE! I immediately asked him what his sister had done to him.... He laughed and said she didn't except to take him for a pedicure and the rest is history. :o)
So guys if you want to make your significant other laugh and smile, which in turn puts a smile on your face, try out the Pedicures. Even just the pedicure without the polish is nice, you get pampered a bit. Plus you could have the added benefit of having your mom or mother in-law think you are losing it. LOL
