Sandals and Pedicures

August 16th, 2008 by Sallad


Recently, Thomas decided that he really wanted a pair of sandals, so we checked out a few stores and he finally settled on Birkenstocks. He’s become more hippie by the minute. :) After staring at feet all afternoon, I realized that my toes weren’t so pretty after all the walking we did in Belgium last month, so I suggested we get a pedicure.

I don’t know why, but Thomas actually agreed…without putting up a fight. He claims that he just viewed it as exploring another culture, like an anthropologist. His rule was no paint, but he seemed to enjoy the foot soak, massage chair, and nail trimming. And he questioned the nail lady what she was doing/using every step.

Since Thomas was bravely trying something new, I thought I’d try something new too. I got a funky color with a design, and they even put a little bling on there too. We had fun, but I doubt I could get Thomas to go again. Next time will just have to be with my girlfriends. :)

    I still chuckle at the idea of Thomas having a pedicure. We’ll have to invite him next time we go! :-)

    I frequently see men at the place where I get my nails done. Most of them seem to be there for manicures, so I’m guessing they’re businessmen who need their hands and nails to look well-kept. There is a man I’ve seen in there many times who goes with his wife! I think it’s nice to do that together. Still trying to convince David that it’s way relaxing. Love the blue with the flowers!

    haha!! I love it. Cale has joined my mom and me one time.. and his face was just so unsure the whole time. They buffed the face of his nails so when we left he was so self-conscious of how “shiny” they were. haha! but I think he enjoyed because he’s even got back with me before.

    I don’t need a full blown pedicure. But at least need to get a pedi-egg or something because the dead skin on the bottom of my feet is getting gnarly.. Too much walking in Tokyo ;)
