Tonight I decided I needed to go get a pedicure. This is something I treat myself to about 5 times a year. Sometimes with friends, sometimes with my mom and sometimes by myself. Tonight was a “my feet are so yucky, I’m in desperate need of a pedicure” run. I didn’t make an appointment I just figured I’d go to the walk in place and take my chances. Ed got home a little later than I thought he would (apparently a few people at work had birthdays this week and they went to celebrate) and my normal place closed at 7. Since I pulled up at 6:30 I figured I was out of luck.
There are a few other places in the area so I drove around to them to see if any were open later. Out of the 4 shops I found only 1 was open till 8. So I went in to see if they had any openings. They did, I had never been to this one but I thought I’d try it.
Jeopardy was on when I got into the chair, I half listened to the show, was shocked when I knew the answer to one of the questions. I actually opened my eyes to see who the contestants were and was shocked to see it was not 5 year old week, since I had the answer correct. Next came Wheel of Fortune.
Now one of my best memories from hanging out with my grandparents' whether it was in NC or NJ was sitting down and watching Wheel of Fortune each night. Who ever was in the house at the time would be watching. There may have been card games going on, but we were all in the same room, having family time and kind of playing along to Wheel.
So this brought a smile to my face when the show came on. I listened a little then opened my eyes at something they said and the announcer was describing one of the prize packages. It was a trip to NY City (they were in Hawaii this week) and tickets to “Jersey Boys”!!!!!(never mind the Tony awards, you know you've made it "BIG" when you are a prize on Wheel of Fortune). Anyone who knows me knows I’ve been to see it twice and grew up on Frankie Valli and the 4 seasons. So now I’m really smiling thinking, wow it was fate that I happened to find this nail place open late and got to see this.
It’s couples week so the couple playing lands on the NY trip, now I’m rooting for them to win so they can have the privilege of seeing this wonderful show. It happens every now and then on Wheel of Fortune the person has the words spelled out in front of them and they mispronounce a word and lose!
We are going to the chapel and we’re GOING TO get married was NOT the answer.
We are going to the chapel and we’re GONNA get married is the correct answer!
So bummer they don’t get to see Jersey Boys but the next couple was happy and solved the puzzle.
Then when I was finished and heading home, I changed my radio station and guess what was on????? OH WHAT A NIGHT! Frankie is in the air tonight:-)
My feet are smooth and pretty and my daughter wants me to take her for a pedicure tomorrow. I told her I would call the “Grammy Salon” and see if she has any openings. I’m guessing there is an opening on Sunday morning after the Neirbo café’ is finished serving breakfast.
