It's our night out with the YaYas tonight. Once every month, one of us hosts a pot luck where we gather to play games, gossip about work, and get drunk.Tonight, for a change of pace, we're all going to the salon for some pampering. I love a good pedicure. The manicure isn't practical because my nails are very short, but I indulge just for the hand massage. Heaven.
Though I am just a fortysomething, I have the hands of a sixtysomething. My fingers are disfigured from arthritis. I take glucosamine per my doctor's advice. Eventually I'll require cortisone shots.
Getting old sucks. Where my hands are concerned, I'm already old.
After the salon we'll head next door to the Mexican restaurant, where I will enjoy a main course of margaritas. That ought to take care of the pain.

ETA: I shouldn't drink and blob, but OMG Court talked the YaYas into having a Passion Party at one of our monthly get-togethers. That should be a lot of fun.

I have NEVER had a pedicure or a manicure and boy howdy, you can tell.
The only time my nails are painted are when Liv begs me and then she usually selects purple for my toenails and maybe a bright fuchsia for my hands. I look ridiculous, but what the fuck....
And I have been to ONE passion party. I did not do well. To start off, we had to let everyone give us a "sexy name" to go with the letter of our real name. For example, I think I was dubbed, "Minx Maria."
It just got worse for me. Not only did I think everything was horribly overpriced, but asked stupid questions like, "Why do you need to insert honey tasting squirty stuff into your partner's vagina? This seems like you'd just have a mess to clean up afterwards."
I totally was the party downer.
I suspect however, that you will be more spirited and fun loving and less of an old goat than me...!
And hey, I'd skip the margaritas and go right to the apple martinis. Two please. Maybe three. Then, I think I could probably be up to a pedicure, a manicure, AND a passion party.....
