Happy May Day!!!

Today I spent the entire day with my bestest friend, Ginger!!!

I picked her up last night at O'Hare.  A couple funny moments to remember....

1. Circling arrivals 8 times.

2. Circling times 2 & 3 ~ I saw a young man wearing green {Think Crayons green} skinny dress pants that bordered on cropped pants.  It wasn't manly nor right...at all.

3. There a beautiful pink tulips near the Hilton signs.  The first sign has pale pink tulips and the second sign had two-toned tulips.  They were soo springy.

4. No matter how loud you laugh and carry on at Jason's Deli at 8 o'clock at night, they will not kick you out.  I feel as though our purpose for being there was to brighten their evening.  We shined!!!

This morning we had pedicure appointments at 9 a.m. which would've been fine and dandy had we not stayed up until the wee hours of the morning covering nearly every topic known to mankind.  { And I am a terrible friend to not take into consideration the time change for poor Ging.  Two hours.  7 a.m. felt like 5... } We kinda treated the sleepover like we were high schoolers at summer camp.  When the alarm went off at 6:30...well, let me just say there were some mathematical adjustments made because 7 a.m. was just fine.

Our nail appointment was at Phoenix Salon {formerly known as Serenity Salon}.  They got two new pedi chairs.  Massaging pedi chairs.  We soaked our feet and grabbed with our wonderful nail techs.

We opted for a matching coral-ish color. 

After pedicures, we decided to go see a movie...perhaps the new Muppets movie or Jonah {to critique it} or whatever else looked good.  The movie idea sounded like a good idea - however the theater isn't open during the weekdays until circa 12 'noon.  We were over an hour early and didn't feel much like waiting around so we ventured back to apartment where we chatted, had a snack-ish lunch, opened my birthday present, and watched Pride & Prejudice {the one with Kierra Knightly and that dreamy Matthew guy who played Mr. Darcy}.  Ginger had never watched Pride & Prejudice.  I, on the other hand, could probably quote it. 

After the movie wrapped up, we went out for a late lunch at Beef-A-Roo.  Pure yumminess for fast food. 

We made a quick stop at the health food store to try to find something for Ginger's plugged ear.  The health store guy was so nice and I like to think we {two crazy gals who have been separated by many-a-miles} made his day a little brighter and / or scared him.  Not really scared him...I don't think anyway.

We laughed.  We chatted.  We shared.  My cup runneth over...

It's been awhile.

While I was in The JoAnn Fabrics store this afternoon purchasing pre-punched paper for my 2024 garden journal, I said to myself, "Self,...
