In preparation for this trip to Hawaii, I've been pampering myself a lot more than I'm used to.
Got my first bikini wax since that awful brazilian wax experience 2 years ago in Vegas. This time, it was much more pleasant and I'm not afraid to do it again anymore. I'm probably going back to the same place and same person from now on.
Also been on a bit of a shopping spree, for both winter AND summer clothes. I didn't buy a whole lot but, since I'm shopping for both the trip and this cold weather, it's like doubling the purchases. I even splurged on a Coach bag because I've been wanting a decent-sized purse for a really long time. I got it at the outlet when I was shopping for a purse for Zachary's mom.
Today, I had a hair appointment for a cut, scalp massage, hair mask, foot soak and foot mask w/hot towel wraps, made possible by Groupon. Enjoying all that with a white wine really topped that feeling like I was living someone else's life.
All this so I can be ready for Hawaii and look decent for Zachary's mom. I'm so excited about meeting her. Nervous, too, but more excited.
I'm not going to that Beaverton salon anymore, btw. The first two times I went there, she did a good job, but we both must have been really lucky. The last time I went, however, she was slower than ever and did such a lousy job. Then she tried to mask her incompetency by straight ironing the whole thing flat. After that, my hair was completely unmanageable and the bangs were so unflattering. My whole face and head just looked awful. So, the girl I went to see today fixed all that. The style was still the same, just "upgraded" to be more flattering on my face.
I can't believe I'm going to Hawaii to meet my boyfriend's mom. I can't believe I'm going to Hawaii!!! I can't believe I'm going to see Zachary's mom!!! It's like a vacation and a huge progression in our relationship in the same package.
When I get back, I have a meeting planned with two friends and a "guest motivational speaker" to talk about getting out of our quarter-life crisis funk. There are so many things I'm always "going to do" but I keep procrastinating.
