I love using Groupon to find great deals in my hometown.  I ended up using one that I bought today for a manicure and pedicure at a local salon.  I bought two so that I could go with a friend.  We had a really nice time and even went to dinner afterwards.  The salon was new to me, usually I'm a sucker for the local nail places "Fancy Nails" or "CK Nails" etc~ you know what I'm talking about?  Anyways this place was totally different.  It was a duo biz, run by the owner and one other nail tech.  The place definitely needed to be redecorated, but it was very cozy.  It almost felt like my older sister was doing my nails.  As always, it was very nice to take some time to pamper myself.  My nails look great now!  Plus I got to enjoy the company of a friend.

I noticed something today as I was exploring my subscription list.  Many of the people's blogs I loved to read haven't really been posting much in the last 1, 2, or even 3 years.  Many of them I know have moved on and we are facebook friends.  I have to admit, that I've been the exact same way around here at Xanga, but hopefully I'm making a come-back.  Just wanted to tell many of them I am thinking of them and miss them, but proud of their families and the things they are doing.
