Last American Valentines

My sweet husband surprised me with a full day at the local spa the day after Valentine's. I was in heaven! He took the day off to watch the kids and dropped me off at the spa at 9:30am. I started with a tour of the relaxing place and slipped into a robe for my massage. Everywhere I turned I was being asked if I would like something to eat or drink. It was nice to be waited on without doing a thing.
So, the massage was 60mins. I believe the only part of my body that didn't experience tention releaf was my teeth. I was then excorted to a seating area with little muffins and water with the TV blazing a fireplace ... we're in FLorida, that's the best you will get with the heat we have been experiencing this year. :-) I was called back to get my Euro-facial which was wonderful and included more massaging of the arms, neck, shoulders and, of course, the face. I understand now why celebs hold themselves up for weeks at a time in places like these.
By than my stomach was making noices which I believe the staff heard because I was escorted into a palor room where my chicken salad and water were waiting for me. It was nice to eat quietly and not need to help others with food and clean up for a change. Do they do room and board here, I thought. Just kidding.
I decided to relax in the sauna before my pedi and mani but didn't believe I had time so I relaxed in the shower with no yelling of Mommy at the door and washed all the lotions and oils from my very relaxed body. With more water in my body I was escorted to a bubbling tub of water for my toes and, yes, more massaging while I sat. While my toes soaked, my fingers were massaged and then dotted with pampering and some polish. When was the last time I painted my nails, I wondered. Next was my toes with more massaging up to my knees. Sheer heaven! I didn't want to move afterwards but my hair was screaming for some attention that they would get next.
I have to say I wasn't very impressed with the stylist but I wasn't in a complaining mood. They must have that planned. :-) I did get a good wash and dry with a straightening of my untamed hair. When I finally stepped out of heaven and into my waiting vehicle, my little daughter looked at me and said "Mommy, you are beautiful. I love your hair." What a great way to end the day. Thank you, Honey! You have earned mucho brownie points from this blessed wife.
