Drive Fast and Eat Cheese

3rd Rock From the Sun has to be one of the best shows. Mr. Man and I have been renting the first season and enjoying the laughs together. Last night we watched an episode where Dick learned about death and realized he wanted to live life to the fullest. So, he told Mary that they had to "drive fast and eat cheese." Retelling it this was is just not funny, but if you saw the episode you would be laughing too.

I was so excited that yesterday I got to indulge myself in the world of beauty. I was able to go by myself to get my hair and nails done. 2 hours, pink nail polish, and a wonderful hair cut later I was feeling wonderful. If only I could have had a pedicure too. These treats rarely come in life so I take the most of them while I can. I was only able to get the manicure because it was free and the haircut was in the budget. Now if I can just find the time to paint my toes all will be good. Sadly Mr. Man, like most men, does not understand the concept of pretty nails. I keep trying to convince him that he would really enjoy a spa pedicure without the nail polish. He just doesn't believe me. I can't see how anyone wouldn't enjoy a good foot soaking, mini-leg/food massage, not having to bend over to cut your toenails, while sitting in a massage chair, but I guess that's just my female mind at work.


Bedtime was another adventure last night. I took dish duty while Mr. Man put Sweet Pea to bed. We thought she was going down for the night, but she deceived us! About a half hour and 10 trips upstairs later she won and came downstairs to play. I think gas was the problem tonight or she was just being her wonderful little self. This is a picture of her in Michigan enjoying her first swing and the wonderful cool weather. It's so hard to imagine how someone so cute can cause so much trouble.

Today will be a semi-eventful day for a change. Mr. Man's sister, friend, and 2 big dogs will be spending the night in our little apartment. It's always fun when Clara and 4-legged friends come to town. She got married last month and sadly her new hubby still has to do some work in MI so he won't be coming along. Thankfully Sweet Pea isn't allergic to dogs and loves big ones. I think this is a good thing because she is a tough little cookie and I don't think a little puppy could handle her. Some day we will have a pet of our own. My mom always told me I could have a cat once I moved out. I've been out for 6 years now and still no cat. This is a problem that must be remedied.
