Luddite-things never tried yet in life

[shootingstar]

Massage: I had to stop myself from giggling. This guy puts on the "seaside" tape - da*n seagulls screaming in the background. Massuese telling me that "this will be great" and hearing him breathe through his nose the whole time. The first professional massage I had and the worst- so superficial.

Hair wash and blow dry - Ha! I have very curly, frizzy hair. You do not blow dry my hair, even with a diffuser. I ALWAYS let my hair air-dry. So they wash my hair and as I try to go out they are giving me grief (who would dare walk out of their salon with wet hair!!). So I let them blow dry my hair..and it's getting bigger and frizzier It was hilarious to watch the reaction of everyone in there. Before I left, found a bathroom and left with really wet hair.

At least you had a memorable experience after birth of your DD, spindizzy. I had a good giggle over your story.

I got my lst and only professional massage a few yrs. ago. Actually at..work. The employer offered it as a benefit to us. It had to do be done at work in our office...in our chair. Actually she was quite good.

Rehodie: We know you will go on a bike tour one day.

At the last hotel we went recently, when we were going to leave, my dearie pulled out 2 fluffy white terry robes that we hadn't noticed in the room. It is lovely to pad around in one after a shower. (Mimi, I take long warm/hot showers.)

Actually when I get a new haircut and blow-dry, I often feel like royalty when leaving the salon and for rest of day. I do consider that a sort of necessary pampering..otherwise I would look like a mess over time.

I tried a sauna once...and hated it. It just feels no different to me than a hot humid summer day.
