TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, May 14, 2012
Greetings Infomaniacs:Yesterday I spent the day with my mom for Mother's Day and we had a great day together. We had lunch, did a little shopping, and topped the day off with a pedicure.
My feet feel so much better after getting all that dead skin off and having them massaged and moisturized. Not to mention my toenails look pretty!
I had attempted to paint them myself a few weeks ago, and when the lady doing my toes went to take the polish off she asked me, "Did you paint nails yourself?"
I replied, "Yes."
She gave my feet a scornful look and responded, "I can tell."
Wow, I know I'm no pedicurist, but I didn't think I did THAT bad on them! Although with a comment like that, she was lucky I still gave her a tip!
Enjoy!
