Imagine That

After all that time not buying things, I find that my strength of will is greatly increased in the Not Buying Things department. Case in point: Owl hoodie.

I saw it and didn't buy it on impulse. I thought about it over night and checked it out again the day later, talking myself out of it because it was too thin. Two days more of desiring it and I gave in and bought it, but not before I did another clean out of my wardrobe and clothing-binned three bags of stuff.

So, I knew I really really wanted it before I bought it. The result has been that I really really appreciate my owl hoodie. Anyone who has seen me this week will have seen said owl hoodie and probably been shown the wee owls. I feel realjoy in the owning of it, perhaps because I didn't buy it on impulse.

My bank account is really enjoying my Not Buying Things ways, although I did buy Singstar 90s on Friday. Singstar 90s is awesome.

In other news I had my first ever professional massage and facial yesterday. They were nice and very relaxing. The massage was a but frustrating because I am used to Lee working on my knots until they are gone and this lady would sort of find a knot and then gently rub around it and move on to something else.

The facial was nice, very relaxing it is to have someone fondling your face and wrapping it in a hot towel. The amount of goo she put on me made me feel greasy as anything after it though, but I'm hoping it was good greasy and not break-out time greasy.

I felt almost drugged after the hour was up. She left me to get dressed and I had a massive stretch and several joints popped which was satisfying. I wandered back out to where the girls were in a sort of stupor.

Weird things I thought while I was being massaged:

• Is it alright to make the face of a slack jawed yokel? because that thing she's doing with her thumbs on either side of my spine is really good and my brain, it is gone.
  
• Drooling with pleasure: Ok or not?
  
• What would she do if I suddenly panicked and started yelling? Should I try it out just to see?
  
• Should I make little moaning noises to show how much I am enjoying this, or would that be weird? It was weird for Monica and Phoebe on Friends, but then they already knew each other.
  
• My heart beat seems really loud and violent when the rest of me is completely unmoving and relaxed into a puddle like this. Can the massage lady hear my heart beat?
  
• That music is off an ad. Which ad was it?
  

Overall I think I would enjoy a therapeutic deep muscle massage more than the beautician stress relief massage but it was plenty relaxing all the same. I liked the facial, and I hope my skin is nicer now.

Having dinner out at Monsoon Poon was nice. I like Kingfisher beer, and then we went to see Harry Potter again yay yay. I really like this movie, and it definitely stood up to a second viewing. Luna is awesome. I am going to start talking like her from now on.

Coming soon: a blog about my hairdresser, whom I luff.
