The things us girls do for some pampering....
Today, Jess and I had appointments for pedicures.
She made these appointments a few weeks ago....with the assumption we would be wearing our flip flops soon. Who would have ever thought today would be below freezing temperatures, freezing rain, sleet, ice and snow?
We were advised not to go.
We questioned as to whether we should or not.
But we didn't question it for long.
Give up an hour long pedicure we've been waiting all week for??? Yeah right!!
We drove 40mph....even with my 4x4 truck.
We saw multiple wrecks along the way.
One was PRETTY bad.
Our husbands were calling wondering why we were still going.
Luckily, neither of them actually said we needed to come home.
We just kept truckin.
Then an hour of pure bliss! The massage chair was heated, the water was hot....kind of nice on a such a cold wintry (March) day.
After our pedicures, we were informed the polish took an hour to drive and we couldn't put our shoes back on. REALLY? We thought they were kidding.
So we had to bare the elements in our flimsy salon flip flops.
My feet have never been so cold.
With flip flops that have a 1/16" inch sole, there's no way to walk without the tiny pellets of ice flooding over and covering the bottom of your feet.
We had planned to eat lunch afterwards and we were not going to let these salon inspired flipflops stop us. So our feet bared the cold some more, in and out of Chipotle. YMMMM!!
40 more minutes of 40mph driving and we were finally back home (well, a little more for Jess).
So maybe it wasn't the wisest decision we've ever made....to brave these kind of conditions for pedicures.
But we sure do have pretty toes!

So happy to hear you guys were able to take a little breather and pamper those toes :)
I got a pedi today too...but it was 72 here -- and I thought THAT was freezing. SHEESH!
Sounds like fun!!! You'll have to show them off Sunday!!!
I did the same thing in January! I got a pedicure and had to leave the salon in those flip flops! I also had to run two errands...felt like such a dork, but I had the prettiest toes!
You guys are crazy!! You will have to show those pretty toes off. We'll ask you to take off your shoes at church ok?
Been there, done that...those spa flip-flops definitely aren't the things to wear in the cold!!
I just found your blog today from Cora Paige's blog. I'm originally from Marquette, and my husband grew up around Kingman. We also graduated from KSU! We live in Gardner, so I love reading blogs from back home.
I left an award for you on my blog.
Keep warm this weekend!
(I just had to come out of my dark corner where I've been happily lurking to comment on this one.)
May I just say that it's refreshing to see a woman that's willing to sacrifice for pretty toes? Priorities, ladies! Nice to see you have yours in order! :)
Your blog is just adorable! Thanks for letting me lurk!
