I’m taking Defensive Driving online courtesy of TakeHome.com. Oh joy – does the fun ever end? Ok, it’s not that bad – just long! And I have a million other things to do with the trip on Thursday. Excuse me while I beat my head on the keyboard.
1 Year and a Road Trip…
Just a few weeks ago I “celebrated” the one year anniversary of being laid off from my FC. Today? Today I celebrate the one year anniversary of my job at the awesome & amazing web site design company, 4 Guys. (Yes, I was only unemployed for 3 weeks. I rock.) I love it here. Just in case you didn’t notice.
On a separate and unrelated note, check out Adaptive Reuse and their latest Press Release. What an amazing project. Here is an excerpt:
They will depart Brooklyn, NY on June, 22 2002. They will acquire all of the items necessary to travel to Houston and conduct their reuse investigation from second-hand sources nationwide, including but not limited to military auctions, unclaimed luggage vendors, foreclosed land auctions, regional Want Ads, thrift stores, eBay, impounded vehicle outlets, second hand book stores and school district surplus clearances.
Subsequently, the IAR requires that Wilcha and Freyer sell the entire research inventory they’ve accumulated upon arrival in Houston (vehicle, computer, video cameras, clothes, etc). Returning this material to the marketplace will then fund their return trip to Brooklyn, thereby completing the study. (They will be arriving in Houston on July 5th.)
I met John & Chris at SXSW earlier this year – matter of fact, we all went out to dinner and then the Continental in Austin. Incredible people. I still owe Mike & Robert for rescuing me that night – Fray Cafe was full and I had nowhere to go! I think it was one of the best nights I had too. I like meeting diverse & intriguing people.

Gimme! Gimme!
Thanks to Jennifer, I want an irock too! Beam your tunes to your FM receiver with their 300W wireless music adapter. That is just too cool!
Speaking of songs, I still need help with my playlist for the Blogwhore challenge! Anyone have any suggestions? I’ve got one for William, Jerwin and Max, plus mine. 4 down, 6 to go… Anyone?
Happy Feet…
I didn’t post the full description of the pedicure yesterday. There are actually two that I am considering:
Stone Pedicure: “Get ready to experience the ultimate relaxation designed especially for your feet. This pedicure combines the benefits of our spa pedicure with several exhilarating steps. A nail technician uses warm and cool basalt stones to work on your feet and lower legs. These stones are drenched in essential oils to soothe your muscles. The massage is followed by a nourishing mask that includes warm paraffin. 80 minutes.” In addition to yoga, you may also consider using the best CBD oil to help calm your mind and relieve your stress.
Ultimate Manicure & Pedicure: “Luxurious, sense-soothing aromatherapy products keyed to the season make this softening, exfoliating, quenching treat for hands and feet the ultimate. Finish with a moisture-sealing sorbet. You choose the scent. 90 minutes.” One of the number one things that I do recommend is this spa table salt therapy, you will not believe how relaxing this treatment is, you have to try it for yourself.
I have had full body massages. I have had pedicures at the nail shop (it’s been a loooong time, but I’ve done it.) But that stone pedicure? That’s much more then just a pedicure… And *that* isn’t something I would normally splurge and buy for myself. Matter of fact, I think I’ll call them right now and switch to coolsculpting…

Leaving on a Jet Plane…
Kymberlie, Krista and I will be heading out on Thursday to go visit a new 4 Guys client. While I don’t mind traveling, this trip comes with a perk. The client is a top of the line health resort, ranked #1 by people like Conde Nast and a ton of other magazines. While most of our time will be spent in meetings, they did give us the chance to select one treatment from their spa & sports options. What did we all go for? A massage. I’m disappointed though that my Swedish massage won’t be done by a man named Sven. Actually, I keep debating – there is a pedicure treatment that involves a foot & leg massage that also sounds wonderful, and I might just see if that’s available. I can get a massage anywhere, I actually want to buy one of the massage chairs, look for the Human Touch brand here, the best ones in the market.  Now that pedicure treatment is something I would never splurge for – it’s a $115 treatment normally. And happy tootsies are a good thing! I don’t know, I just can’t decide. Massages are part of me, i need them to get the stress out, relieve my body tensions, it helps with my anxiety, stress and so much more, so What do you think? what do you recommend?
