Today was a good day.

It’s been a pretty great week for me.  In fact every week has been pretty great for me for months now, but especially in 2010. Things have been so great that 6 weeks in to the year I’m starting to feel like I’m going to burst if things just keep getting better, but everyday things are better than the day before and I haven’t burst yet!

Today I went to lunch with my best gal pal Libby which was a super treat because not only do I love her but we never get to go to lunch together.  I went all out and had a Framboise Lambic and a cheeseburger, it was divine.  Yesterday I said I might give up cheeseburgers for lent but obviously that was unrealistic.

Afterwards I went to get a mani/pedi.  I’m pretty low maintenance appearance wise, I don’t dye my hair or use $50 lotions (I mostly stick to all natural stuff which is cheaper anyway) but mani/pedis are my one luxury personal care item.  I can’t even remember the last time I did my own nails.  I am actually really only into getting pedicures because my nails always chip because of all the typing I have to do but my nail salon gives you a FREE manicure if you get a pedicure Monday through Thursday.  Score!  I usually always get the same color, a fun red called “Million Dollar Red” but this weekend I have a date and the dress I picked out would look better with a darker red.  The new color I picked is called “High Maintenance” by China Glaze, hehe.  I think I’ll go and buy a few bottles and make this one my new signature color.

On Tuesday I went out with my dear friend to The Yard House in Downtown.  As luck would have it we got to LA Live just as the Lakers game was getting out, phooey.  BUT we were able to find FREE street parking right across the street (what are the odds?) and spent our super short wait time exploring the new JW Marriott/Ritz Carlton that had just opened the day before.

After we parked I didn’t get out of the car right away because I had to change out of my casual sandals (rubber flip flops) into my “fancy” sandals (silver patent thongs), haha.  Anyway at one point when were climbing the stairs in the hotel lobby I slipped a little and my friend told me that I should have worn my grip sandals instead.  Bwahahah!
