My loving husband arranged for me to have a Spa Day this weekend at Denny Kemp in Minneapolis and it was LERVELY.  Facial, paraffin hand treatment, hair color (several, as it turns out), cut…

Best parts:

• Wonderful salon, super friendly, welcoming, comfortable
• Very relaxing, very hip
• Salon gossip (it’s the best)
• Very cute stylist named Tyler colored and cut my hair and he’s probably going to be a famous rockstar some day and I’ll be able to tell people he cut my hair.  He’s a little Edward Scissorhands and is only 20 years old, but I already want to put him in my backpack and carry him around and buy accessories for his hair…

This is his band:

And this is Tyler:

By the end of the appointment, I’d convinced him up audition for the next American Idol.

Not so great parts:

• When asked if I ever break out, I told my facial girl that I almost never do — but will rarely do so on my chin.  She replied, (sweetly, kindly, without rancor) “The chin is where most middle-aged women break out.”   MIDDLE-AGED?!!!  36 is middle-aged?  Seriously? 
• While my color was setting, I had to sit in another room with a space robot heater cooking my brain away while I flipped through Vogue (ugh, Vogue!) and the woman next to me carried on the loudest, longest cell phone conversation in the world…

 Things I could tell you about that RUDE-ASS WOMAN sitting next to me:

• She will be in San Diego 3 times (THREE TIMES!) next month!
• She is taking a French class because she wants to be sent to the Paris office.
• You now how Lupita said the best way to learn Spanish is to watch Telamundo on TV?  Well, she is going to use that same idea and go see a French film.
• Spanish is SOOOOO EAAAAASY compared to French
• Bobbi is very troubled
• Bobbi’s daughter is very troubled
• Bobbi should never have moved in with her father because GOD KNOWS what happened in that house and GOD KNOWS what kind of ideas her father but into her head and GOD KNOWS what lies he has been telling about her
• She has a nice photo album on her table
• Bobbi’s daughter likes pancakes
• Probably, that French film is going to be very boring.
• French is very hard.
• She is a RUDE-ASS woman.

But really, don’t I have the sweetest husband to give me a day of pampering AND let me take a nap when I get home?

A saint, I’m telling you!  A saint!
