a little happy
Saturday I decided to go out and get me a little happy. I first went to the tanning both and attempted to get some sun. I know it is not good for me....BUT OOOH LA LA it felt goooood! I then went and got fake nails and a pedicure. The lady sitting next to me was probably 65. She looked 90 and had wrinkly orange skin and nails that did not stop. Her makeup was a little more obvious than Tammy Fay's. She had that raspy smokers laugh and teased me for getting little stub fingernails. She then talked about going to the tanning booth and I said "wow!!! you look so natural I would have never guessed". Pastors wives do sometime lie. I had a little fear come over me like maybe she had been trying to get herself a “little happy” for years. I feel better and don't feel guilty for going and doing something for myself but it did occur to me that "getting a little happy" can become a lifestyle, and that lifestyle can have some really ugly consequences.

I am so happy for you! I wish we could have been with you.
I have been tanning once a week every week or two. Visualizing my Mom is what scares me straight when I even consider going more. LOL.
sweet! you're right though, going out to get a little happy is like drugs, the more you do it, the more you need.

Ummmm.....yuck!
Just come live in Phoenix! I'll probably look like that in about three years - HA!!!!!
Glad you could get a little "happy" for yourself...you deserve it!

I think I saw that lady on the beach was I was little!
Getting yourself a little happy now and then doesn't always have to be damaging to your body...or your check book! Too bad we couldn't all do it together, but glad you got some and glad it helped!
