The continuing adventures of Denise...

Saturday morning dawned early for both myself and Cathy. She had a hair appointment, and I learned that I was in for a day at a spa. Cathy felt bad about abandoning me for her weekly hair appointment, so she wanted me to be treated and pampered Saturday morning.

She dropped me off at the spa for a full-body massage, a vichy shower, a facial and a manicure. For those not familiar with a vichy shower, click the link for a picture. You lay on a bed with a pad, they rub a sea-salt and oil mixture all over your body then rinse you off. A true vichy shower has the top thing with the shower heads spray the water all over you. But since I can't lay on my stomach, she used the hand sprayer to rinse me off. Your skin feels so soft and smooth when you're done. And after the full body massage, I was RE-LAXED!

Then it was time for the facial. All sorts of stuff massaged into my face, wiped off, a hot towel over my eyes, a hot steam to clean out my nasal passages, I think I could have fallen asleep in there given a few more minutes, lol.

I then got dressed, went downstairs and had my manicure done. I asked the girl to suprise me, I didn't want to pick the same old neutral color I would always look for. What did she pick? A very very pale pink, very neutral color, lmao. I think she hadn't been doing it long. I had some really nice nails and she trimmed them all down so they didn't even reach my finger tips. And I don't like my nails squared off the way she did it. But oh well, they'll grow back, lol.

About the time I was finishing the manicure, Cathy showed up with her hair done for the week, and we went to eat some RIBS! We went to a place called Corky's for some dry rub bbq ribs. OMG were they GOOD!!! I've never had the dry rub before, and it was so tasty, and you don't have as much as a mess like with the wet ribs. You still have messy fingers, just not so bad. We each got a 1/2 slab, with beans and cole slaw, and neither one of us could finish it all.

Afterwards, we went to a local art museum, where we saw some very interesting art pieces that really grabbed our attention. Before going downtown for the night, we went back to Cathy's to change into long pants and rest for a bit. I napped on the couch for maybe an hour, changed into slacks, and we headed to Beale Street for some blues!
