Spidey Toes!

The pedicure yesterday was close to perfect!  We went to this great little place by my house that has a "menu" for all the types of pedicures they offer.  I went for the basic "tiki" package since all I really wanted was my toes done.  Little did I know!  As I was sitting in the massage chair getting my feet worked on  when I noticed the lady across from me had her legs wrapped in towels and one of the girls was massaging her neck, arms and shoulders.  It looked great, from a distance, but since I despise being touched by a stranger I wanted no part of it.  My girl started massaging my legs which I was expecting so no problem, then she wrapped them in hot towels, mmmmm that felt good.  Then she came up by my shoulders and I totally stiffened up!!! What....... I was getting the basic package, the only extra I expected was a glass of tea!!  I didn't want to hurt my moms feeling or the girl doing the massage so I sucked it up and just dealt with the pain.  Yes, the pain -- the sole reason I hate being touched.  I tried to remember the breathing techinques I learned when I had children, breathe and wiggle the toes.  Hmmmm, didn't work so well. Not only was this poor girl touching me, she was trying to do a deep tissue massage!!!  OUCH  every time she ran her thumbs into my neck it felt like she was just tearing my flesh -- stop the tourture, I wanna get off.  (That will answer anyone's who questions why I only get hot rock massages - they don't touch you!).  When she finished my wonderful massage she did my toes.  I picked this great orange color for the holiday and as a peace offering (I think she saw the horrified look on my face) she put spidey webs on my big toes!!!!!  I love it, all the excitement of my spider webs made the pain go away.  As for mom, well -- when we got in the car she was telling me about her disappointment in her girl,  when she did the massage she barely touched her.  What -- why didn't I get her!!!  Overall we had a fun time and I can still feel it this morning.  My neck feels bruised but my toes are cute, guess that's all that counts.........
