Weekend in Review.... or... how a great pair of running socks got ruined...

This past weekend = trips to the fabric store with Elz-a-Bells... church... helping the Hubs study for his big test... sweet treats... and out of town family...



this weekend also = one. interesting. pedicure.

MmmmK....So, this past Saturday, Si Fri, Al (si-fri's sister) and I went to our fav place to get our nails did... 

We go to this place in Chicago that is to die for! They do the most incredible job and spoil you rotten while you're getting pampered... they pass out free beverages... rub you shoulders as your nails dry... have an endless amount of new magazines... it's truly a fabulous experience!

That said... on Saturday... as my "pedi" was just about done "curing"... i.e. as my toes had just finished getting painted...
My nail technician went to help me out of my comfy massage chair (I know... you're dying right!?!??! This place really is the best!)... and as I'm putting my feet down on the floor my thoughtful technician grabs my shoes out of the way... no one likes smudged polish after all!

Then... she grabbed my socks... and instead of stuffing them into my shoes...
she...
 Started to wipe the floor with them... and by wipe, I mean scrub (!!!)....
What!?!?!?

I don't know what the deal was... maybe she thought they were a towel or something... but my running socks! My poor, no longer crisp, definitely no longer white running socks!!!

Fortunately, that was the low point of my weekend.
And how was your weekend lovelies?!?!?

I have to ask where this place is?!!! I live in Lakeview and even though there are TONS of nail places by me I haven't found one I like.
