day spahhh

It's been awhile since I've written.
Remember that accidental flood in my office way back when?
Well, the damage was far more extensive than at first reported.
In short, the building ended up being condemned and bulldozed.... yeh

The reason I haven't posted is because I was given some 'time off' from work... more like a time out!  Anyway, no paycheck meant no payments to my ISP, and thus no access to the internet.
While wallowing in self-pity and gelato at home, I decided to do a bit of Spring cleaning and came across an unused Fae Day Spa gift certificate.  The timing could not have been better!
Here are a few snaps from my girls' day out.

Here's my friend Astrid in the waiting area

This place is fabulous.  Each guest gets her own cabana for the day

First off we did the subzero deep freeze experience. There are no words for how shocked my system was.

Next we thawed in these heavenly sun beds

and I splurged for a tanning bed sesh

From there we took teacup naps, a custom my grandmother used to tell me about.  Faeries would snooze in teacups suspended from the limbs of tall trees in order to ensure safety from vicious mythic predators... such as tabby cats.

My aunt Arachnia had her nails done... all of them

Astrid arranged for me to have mine done... ummmmm.... thanks?

And this is what she chose for herself... yep


 even my niece Petunia got a Pixie Pedi

All in all it was a wonderful, relaxing day -- just the thing to get my mind of the office catastrophe.... Swell, I just reminded myself of it again!  Welp, I guess that means it's back to the spah then ;)
