The Mock Dock

Remember when I told you guys about my new flower pedicure a couple days ago? Well, check out the conversation I had with Mini-Mock about it this morning:

Me: Hey, Mini! You wanna see something really cool?

Mini-Mock: Ok. Now can I see something really cool?

I cannot tell you how proud Mr. Mock is about this reaction.

Daisy’s first day back to work from maternity leave was today, and to make it a proper welcome-back, we went for pedicures at lunch.  And the chick who did Daisy’s feet was one of those cool “I can’t speak a word of English but I can make flowers on your toes” chicks.  And when Daisy got her flowers, I looked over and said, “I MUST HAVE THOSE TOO.”  And so now my big toes have cute little flowers on them, complete with a bejeweled center.

I cannot tell you how happy I was to see Daisy’s car, replete with its “Socialism Sucks” bumper sticker,  in the parking lot when I pulled in this morning.  It was like all was right in the world again.

And we have really pretty feet now, too.

Good times.

So, Daisy and I went for lunchtime pedicures on Monday, to this place around the corner from our office, and it was such a perfectly awesome way to spend a lunch hour, you guys.  I highly recommend lunchtime pedicures.  Sometimes, there’s nothing better than just sitting in a big massage chair, while someone rubs on your feet and calves for 45 minutes.  And then there’s the added bonus of being able to leave with really pretty feet.

After our feet were done getting massaged and buffed and polished, we waddled over to the toe drying station.  And that’s when I noticed that there was a BAR in the nail salon.

And it’s not even that there’s a bar in a nail salon – it’s that there’s a creepy ET doll on top of the bar in the nail salon.  See him?  Right above the digital clock?  What in the holy hell?

And so I turned to Daisy and said, “We’re in a nail salon with a full bar and a creepy ET doll.  Because OF COURSE we are.”  It just wouldn’t be us to go to a NORMAL nail salon.

This is why we are best friends.  Suicidal chickens, flying chihuahuas, and nail salons with full bars and ET dolls.
