Geeky Toes?

Guest Post from Jennifer:

Manicures and pedicures are my weakness!

I have never done anything more relaxing, well except for maybe being on the beach. For me the foot rubs are the best part, next to picking new colors for my toes (depending on the season, duh)!

If I could get a mani/pedi every couple weeks, I would. Unfortunately it's an expensive habit!

IMNSHO, I think everyone should go get a mani/pedi, even guys! Guys don't have to get a polish, but getting a clip and a buff makes your feet feel like a baby's butt! And did I mention the foot rubs?!

I love going by myself, just to get pampered and put my head back in relaxation. It's almost as if the bubbles wash my worries away! I also love going with my mom and friends just to have girl time.

It's so nice to be able to take care of myself, mani/pedi's are such a treat!


As it happens, Jennifer is my Daughter-in-Law and she's not the only one who seems to take advantage of this perfectly acceptable geeky passion for pigments on piggies. The above are my wife's freshly manicured toes.

She even had me go with her once. I'm not going to say, 'made me go,' because that wasn't the case. It was an interesting experience and apparently the technician reassured me that many men also go to get pedicures.

It didn't really matter if other husbands went with their wives, I went with her because she wanted to treat me and she didn't want go by herself. The foot soaking didn't bother my feet in the least. Normally when dunking my feet into hot water, the neuropathy from the Diabetes kicks in and makes it feel like razor blades are scraping my skin. This wasn't the case. It was quite relaxing.

To reiterate what Jennifer spoke about, it is easy to get lost while the technician is working on your feet. The closest thing I can equate it to is when you've found a really good barber who doesn't need to ask you questions. They move your head this way and that. Tilt it when they need to and do a superb job without interaction. They're just taking care of you.

So, yeah... geeky toes. It's pretty neat.
