February 15, 2008

Did everybody have a great Valentine's Day?  I sure did!  The morning started out very normal with breakfast, exercise, Lincoln's nap, etc.  I decided to make chili for dinner because John loves chili.  I had it in the crockpot before lunch!  After lunch I gave the boys their baths for an hour (they LOVE the water!).  MK came over to babysit the boys at 4:15 (John showed up almost at the same time so her walk over in curlers was unnecessary, sorry!)  At 4:20 I left for an appointment for a facial!  Wahoo!  This was my first facial and I absolutely loved it.  It was at a very high-end spa and everything about it was great.  I was first taken to my private room where we discussed my regimen, etc.  Then I was taken to a little booth where they turn on special lights to look at my skin.  Yikes!  Under the light I had deep purple circles under my eyes and brown speckled spots all over.  I learned the purple is dehydration, the brown is sun spots.  I thought it was terrible, but I learned that my skin was very healthy after all (sun spots are normal?)  Then I was taken back to my room where I was to get completely undressed (for a facial?).  I then layed in a very comfortable heated bed for the next hour while my face was washed, massaged, exfoliated, wrapped in hot towels, steamed, etc.  It was amazing!  I left feeling like a whole new person!  I learned that my annoyingly shiny forehead is a healthy glow (aw man! nothing I can do about it) and I need to use better moisturizer at night. 

After my star treatment at the spa I came home to a clean house, the kids were fed and a bunch of valentine balloons were floating in the kitchen.  The boys loved the balloons (still do today) and I loved the gift in the little pink bag.  John got me a very cute pair of capri pajama bottoms that I put on immediately!  They are really cute and comfortable.  I wore them to watch Heroes in the basement with John!  What a great day!
