Pretty Feet?

Whew that was a long break, good thing I didn't ask you to hold your breathe until I came back. I wouldn't have anyone reading the filters in my mind. Let's get back to business here and fill you in on a piece of the day in the current life of a Mom and Her Girl.
A few weeks back just after my move was complete and boxes were still in the un-packing stages my sister in-law opened her new endeavor, LUV Pedicures. It could not come at a better time because my feet needed to be un-thawed from the hellish winter we have endured here in Michigan, not to mention I needed down time to re-group my thoughts on my new life. Then once I started to think about it I couldn't wait to get busy again because damn I have been through alot of shit the last three years! But the pedi and mani was awesome and if you ever get the chance to treat yourself to something nice I recommend going to LUV not just because we are family, but because it is a classie operation and your feet enjoy an array of techno-color lights while they soak, the feet will thank you for it trust me, and the price is reasonable.
One thing your feet won't thank you for is walking for six hours in cute open toed sandals with a wedge heal to show off the overexposed in south beach color!!
Since I have Mondays off and the weather is turning warmer we ventured out of our new condo to take in the sun, and the 75mph winds. The plan was to go to the zoo, have a picnic lunch, take in the smell of 100 plus animals feces and go home. I had called my brother wondering if him and my nephew would like to join us and he had his own plan to take in the Ford Truck plant tour. Together we devised our plans to take in both activities with kids in tow. The day went great my nephew got his fill of real live trucks being assembled and my girl got to see a couple turtles, the back side of a polar bear and take a walk through a mud puddle in her new sandals!
On the way home I decided to remove the sandals or should I say shackles of hell to unleash the pain that developed under my second from big toe, not just on one foot but both feet. I was afraid to look or touch for fear that my toes would break off of the pure thought of it. By the time I had pulled into my garage the only thing left to walk on were the heals of my feet. Have you ever tried to remove a tired toddler from their car-seat on the heals of your feet? let me tell ya it is like wrestling a small hungry bangle tiger out of a tree while standing on a three legged step stool. I eventually unloaded the car and got into the house safely and was able to soak my feet. Two days later I am still in pain and the blisters look like two eye balls on the bottom of my feet.
Let this be a lesson to all you ladies out there who are anxious to show off those toes, if your Overexposed in South Beach make sure it is bare foot, or at least sensible shoes!

I have my first ingrown toe-nail ever, not very pretty in shoes or a good way to start the summer shoe season!

Are you kidding me? Have you seen the paddles that I call feet? Mine are never pretty. Your blisters would PALE in comparison.

Love the color!
