A day of pampering and what I'm reading this week

Holy crap y'all, yesterday was a fantabulous day!

I was getting out of the shower and heard a knock at the door.  It was that kind of knock that people do when they know you...or if you've watched too many episodes of Criminal Minds it's the knock a killer does to try to make you think you know the person at the door.  Because I was half nekkid and knowing that anyone who knows me well knows I don't answer the door for drop bys, I took my time getting dressed.  As they knocked a second time, I peeked out the window and saw a florist van.  "Who the hell is sending flowers??" I thought.  I know it wouldn't be the Mr because I know what florist he uses and this wasn't it.  So when I came downstairs, I saw this was left on my doorstep... My wonderful friend Jeff sent this as a belated birthday gift!  Love the fall colors mixed with orchids and since we're going to have the opportunity to watch Hawaii play online, the touch of aloha will get us pumped for the game!

(Lest anyone think the Mr's flower game isn't strong, I got to enjoy these all last week (and a sweet card) when he surprised me after a bad day.  Facebookers saw these) Then it was off to the chiro.  I just couldn't take the leg pain anymore.  It wasn't debilitating but I didn't want it to progress into a "thing."   I felt like he didn't get as deep as I would've liked and he said much of my problem right now is tissue related and he didn't feel damage like before.  He still did the laser on me which always helps.  They are having a special this month with the newer massage therapist to try her out for $50 (almost $20 off) and they had an opening 30 minutes after I finished.  I decided why not so I made the appointment.  I told her what I just had done with the doc and how out of whack my legs felt.  She said she'd do a once over on my shoulders and such first and then move to the gams.  I didn't even realize how sore my shoulder and neck were until she started digging in a bit.  Then she moved on to the legs and damn did it hurt/feel good.  She actually worked on me for 100 blissful minutes!  I left a tip for her and left feeling much more limber.  She said the affects should last for a week.  I'm going to do everything I can to keep myself loosened up over this week and be a good girl and roll.

But enough of my day o' pampering, let's get to... 18 Easy and Delicious Ways to Enjoy Apples  (I have been enjoying the first Honeycrisps of the season this week.  Soooo good!)

Tomorrow is all about the Hawaii football game.  It's so rare we can actually see their game online (forget on TV) so we're going to cast it, I'm making Hawaiian food and we're busting out our Warrior gear.  It's supposed to be in the high 60's this weekend so I'm hoping to get out and enjoy a preview of Fall even if it's supposed to be short lived.  I'm so ready for sweatshirt, fuzzy socks and apple cider season!!

What are y'all doing this weekend?  Do you tip your massage therapist?
