Back in H-town and living the life


This afternoon I went and got a mani/pedi with my sister. We went to a "salon" in a strip center because I cannot afford the fancy place, and she cannot afford to pay double at the fancy place.

Afterward we got dumplings, which were totally great and exactly the right thing at that moment. I wore the disposable pedicure flip flops to the restaurant. Apparently, you can wear whatever you want to anywhere here in Houston. Last night at dinner at a nicer restaurant I saw a girl wearing short running shorts. It was definitely cool that I didn't have to dent my do by putting shoes back on but I felt a little bit like I was cheating.

Then I wore those flip flops for the rest of the night. As I was about to get into bed I realized that my feet were probably kinda dirty, so I rinsed them off in the sink. It seemed ironic that after paying a woman to scrub my feet, I had to wash them off in the sink. Maybe this is a lesson to me about wearing those flip flops home after a nice pedi.
