Lots of Firsts

So since there is life after weddings, although I think I am in sewing machine withdrawals,
I thought I would share FIRSTS.

Now really how many FIRSTS could a woman my age have, apparently many. I am not that great a cook, or at least have become less great since there aren't so many to cook for. Since the first of the year I have made at least 7 new dishes and they were all yummy,

however our new favorite definitely has to be 3 Bears Porridge, courtesy of Clint and Aubrey.

I have sewn 6 new patterns (OK this one really shouldn't count)

I planted many seeds and they are now safely nestled in my garden hopefully to grow BIG and BEAUTIFUL.

I had my first manicure (not fake nails, that is way to much for me) and pedicure. I don't care if I ever have a manicure again but a pedicure once a day would be totally acceptable to me.

Now my last FIRST occurred Saturday. We had been at Trek Super Sat all morning, I had been sick all week with a cold and Rachel convinced me I should accompany her to the local massage school that afternoon and share the 2fer they were offering. Since it was only $12.50 for 1 hour I consented. No never again, that really means never. It was OK during the massage, however by that night, all day Sunday and part of today I felt like my body had been run over many times

with a Sherman tank, from head to toe.

Never have my workouts left me feeling so sore, and then I recall what the guy said as he finished. "Well Mrs Wilson you really don't have any spots that seem tight or sore so that was a pretty light massage, we can do a much deeper one next time. HA! that will never happen.
So now I am left wondering, why do people like a massage?
