I just want to say how much I love facials… I just had my first one tonight and it was pretty much fabulous! I just wanted to tell you all to go to Looks Beauty and Wellness around 67th & Memorial. It was delightful.

My Aunt Lana gave me a gift certificate for my birthday this year to get one and finally 5 months later I used it and oh how happy I am that I did. I think I might be addicted.

Anyways the link below is for the Spa… Go and have Lori give you a facial.

Today is so hot outside. I don’t know how much longer I can deal with this heat. I think I need to move to Alaska. It was a dream of mine years ago… I think it’s time for it to come true.

What’s not to love about that place? Umm… Nothing. Well except that it’s forever away from my family. And I love that I can drive to my parent’s house in less than ten minutes.

But there isn’t a wealth of unmarried mountain men in Tulsa, and you know how much I love those mountain men. So maybe it’ll be worth it.

I did just finish my floors though in my house and I kind of love it. So that would be sad to move away from that. I think my dog would like it though. He prefers the cold weather too.

I am going to Alaska in August, so maybe I’ll apply for jobs up there when I stop at each port.

This week I was staying at my mom’s house with her while my dad was out of town on business. She requested to hear exactly why my boyfriend and I broke up. So I filled her in on all the details. Leaving nothing out, it was my big pity party, my chance to tell her everything and for her to say, “baby, you were right to end this, you can do better.” Well…  I get finished pouring out how traumatic this relationship was and injustices handed to me when she looked at me and said, “It’s a wonder he didn’t break up with you a long time ago.” I sat there a bit surprised. Then she said, “Honey, don’t use men as sport.” After those two things were said, my first inclination was to be offended, but then it was if the scales had fallen off my eyes… Wow! I am a bad girlfriend!! All this time, all these years I thought I was a really awesome girlfriend… Nope. I’m kind of crappy at it. So next time things will be different. I won’t try to play games to get a reaction. If a boy tells me he doesn’t like dogs, then dammit, I won’t make him hold my dog and tell him he loves him and kiss him for 20 minutes… I’m a grown woman, why would I do that? I won’t push him to do something he doesn’t want to do just see if he will do it. I will no longer use your embarrassment level or shock level as a source for my entertainment. I will play video games instead. Or maybe watch an episode of Weeds. Or perhaps pull the weeds out of my garden. Or pick up knitting again. Regardless… I’ve learned a valuable lesson from my wise wise mother… Men are not toys.  Thanks mom for telling me before I turned 30.
