Spring has sprung! Not that we here in Arizona have any type of season other than summer and light summer but spring has sprung and its time for some springy things..
Of course there is the ever popular spring cleaning (which I really don’t think anyone ever really accomplishes but it’s a brilliant concept)
We have spring breaks but I am neither a college student nor do I have little kids in school so..no reason for me to take a week long vacation.
What else is a girl to do? AH! It is time to refreshen thyself! First thing to tackle on this wonderful Saturday..Nasty winter feet!
I am sorry, I know it’s disgusting but people lets face it we need to get the word out there.. Our feet need attention.
Starting out in fixed firm pose yesterday morning in yoga, I glanced down to make sure my hands in feet were in their proper position.
** This is not me..really? How am I supposed to take a picture of myself doing such things? 😉 I stole this from the internet…
I was appalled to find that my heels looked like the lady standing in front of me in the Walmart line (oh don’t you act like you don’t know who I’m talking about..mmhhmm).
Promptly, I sent message to a girlfriend (aka..my nut-ball friend who is currently training for a M-A-R-A-T-H-O-N) who I KNEW would benefit from a little foot and lower leg pampering..we were soon set!
We strayed a bit off the planned course of just a pedicure date and ended up starting with lunch at The Pita Jungle.
I don’t like to throw this out to the inter webs but I have to, …I have been to this Pita Jungle like four times. I think I love the Idea of the place more so than the actual place itself. They have a great menu, it’s fresh, vegan/vegetarian (not that I am either of those) friendly, they also support meat eaters..its a pretty nonjudgmental place. The only problem I have is…the acoustics of the space. Horribly loud..unbearably loud..they really should figure out how to fix this.
I was pretty excited to find they did have outdoor seating! It was a beautiful day and of course it had to be much more quiet outdoors so we scooped up the chance to dine outdoors!
And yes..it was nice and the food was great ~ I had the pesto pita pizza (so good)
Problem with the outside? It was a breezy day and our outdoor dining area was just downwind of the DUMPSTER. 
No…bueno…
Sorry…three strikes..you’re out. I am done with the Pita Jungle.
Bellies full – because the only bad part of the Jungle experience was the environment – we headed off to the salon for the peak of our Saturday!
Shockingly, the wait was just long enough to allow us to select the color of the week. It took me some time by I finally chose the shimmering pinkish color on the thumb:
Yep..I left the place with all of my nail painted in this manner and I will leave them as such as long as I can 🙂
I will spare you the before picture of my walmart feet and cut straight to the pretty in pink end result.
If you have a foot aversion…keep scrolling down because I am going there..hah..
I really wanted to go home and nap afterwards, unfortunately.. my body has no idea how to do such things whilst the sun is up 😦
Some piddle “shopping” was done followed by a trip to Total Wine. Good lord..I love this store. Beth had n e v e r been to Total Wine..her words..”I have never seen this much wine in one place”. I found myself walking through the store and pointing out the highlights of each isle. I should really work here. 🙂
All in all it was really a great day..one, I think, needed on both our accounts.
Nap time?
NOPE! Plug along into the evening! Casual evening but evening non the less!
Time for dinner! Jason and I met up with our great great friends Amy and Dan and we were ready to have a Mexican dining extravaganza!
Margaritas, conversation and great food made for a fabu way to end a Saturday night~
I will leave you with my dinner choice ( Pollo Fundido — not very fun after the fact but completely fun while devouring!!)
Tell me what sorts of shenanigans you are planning for Spring 2014?
