Spoil Me Day

I have a tradition that I have kept for many years, and I plan on keeping it for many years to come. When I schedule my hair appointments, I don't schedule anything else for the rest of the day. I call them "Spoil Me Days." I know, it's not the most creative name, but it gets the point across, right? And guess what I do on Spoil Me Days... Whatever I want! A typical Spoil Me Day might go like this: Wake up at around 9:00, get ready (wear cute clothes to show off my cute new haircut), grab breakfast, and head out the door. Stop by Starbucks to get coffee (I always feel spoiled when I drink Starbucks). Head off to the salon and enjoy the next hour or so of getting my eyebrows waxed (don't judge me, thank me. Caterpillars are not attractive on a girl's face), my hair washed, and a cute new cut and style. Go shopping either at the mall or anywhere else I feel like shopping. Grab lunch somewhere (I usually pick Thai or Vietnamese food because my salon is just down the street from the Asian District). Stop by Justin and Audrey's shop, maybe go watch a movie, maybe go home because I'm tired. The point is that I do whatever I want, whenever I want, because I can. I like not having a schedule to stick to or timelines to worry about. That's the best part of Spoil Me Day.

Saturday was a Spoil Me Day, exactly 8 weeks after the last one (I don't think I'm too spoiled if I only spoil myself once every 8 weeks, even though I know that most people don't spoil themselves even that often). So my day started out perfectly. I woke up a little earlier than I wanted to, but whatever. I got dressed, wearing my skinny jeans (clarification - not the cut/style called skinny jeans - these are jeans that I have never been able to fit into, because they were a size too small even when I bought them, but I can now wear them comfortably. Awesome, huh? I know!!!!) and a pair of heels to make my legs look extra long and skinny, and just threw my hair into a ponytail (because I'm getting it cut soon. No point in fixing it right now). I made myself a bowl of oatmeal, my new favorite breakfast/lunch/dinner food, with blueberries mixed in. I headed out the door and bought myself a new pair of sunglasses at Target (I don't pay big money for sunglasses, because if I do, they'll break the moment I put them on. The only way for me to ensure that the glasses stay in tact for several months is to pay nothing for them.), because my glasses were all broken (the last two pairs lasted me about a year and a half each). I got some really cute purple glasses. Then I drove over to Starbucks and got myself a skinny vanilla latte, as planned. But that's where the plans got their rear end kicked and life as we al know it to be kicked in.
