Little things

It's amazing how something so simple as a pedicure can have such a big impact. I haven't had a pedicure since before I went to Mexico in January. So, needless to say, my toes were looking pretty sorry. Especially the big toe on my left foot, which was still purplish from my lame-o skiing at Jackson Hole (I'm right-footed when I ski, so it's my right turns--using my left foot--that were sucking at JH). Plus I took all the chipped polish off last month, so my toes were bare and just not pleasant to look at. Anyway, got a pedicure today and the obvious immediate effect is that my toes look better. The secondary effects are that I feel better about my feet and now have more wardrobe options as well (I can wear open-toed shoes!) which will make me feel even better overall. Aah--the amazing effect of a pedicure.

Speaking of amazing, I finally caught a full episode of The Amazing Race last night. (Note: A DVR is a wonderful thing, and if you put it on your husband's to-do list, it will probably take over a year to actually get installed, and even then it will not be because you finally wore him down, but because you just decided to take care of the damn thing yourself.) Could Mirna be any more annoying? I seriously can't decide who I hate more: her or the annoying sanctimonious hypocrites that were on the Family Edition of TAR. I love the Beauty Queens--they play hard, but fair. And they're unfailingly polite and respectful to each other and the locals. I hope they win and Mirna gets left behind somewhere far, far, away.
