Last Friday I did something different. Blog-Stedman and the boys had given me a spa gift certificate for Mother’s Day and I gleefully redeemed it.
I called the spa that morning to see if they had any availability that day since my mom was coming and could watch the boys. Thank God for grandma!
They had an afternoon appointment open in which I could receive a massage followed by a facial. The stars had aligned correctly and mommy was going to the spa…
It was fabulous in a way that I could feel myself feeling how fabulous it was the entire time.
I was relaxed.
I was pampered.
I was restfully ecstatic.
The whole afternoon went without incident. The whole afternoon went without incident. The whole afternoon went without incident! In fact, it was so incident-free that I was reflecting on how incident-free the whole experience had been while getting dressed after the appointment.
Why would I be surprised of the afternoon’s incident-freeness?
Things usually just happen to me. I am not complaining, but the truth is things seldom run incident-free.
So I was reveling in the incident-free nature of the afternoon when I reach for my shoes…
…which I soon realized had been LOCKED into the locker beneath mine.
It is a bit hard to see in these pictures, but the lockers have a cut-out where the top locker’s door covers some area of the locker below and the bottom locker’s door covers some of the upper locker. This place was very fancy.
So, I put on my provided spa flip-flops and went out to the front desk to report my shoe loss. They were very nice and assured me that it happens all the time…
Which I totally don’t believe because it took the locker manual, two locker unlockers (I am sure that is the scientific name for it), two spa employees and 25 minutes to retrieve my shoes.
I left the spa feeling all was right with the world because really, incident-free is so boring…
What’s up with those lockers? Are people who get pampered regularly somehow smarter than those of us that don’t so they can figure out the lockers?
Was it a pair of crocs?
First-thanks for visiting my blog! I am just now catching up with all the “lack of real internet” time.
I dream of a spa day! So glad it was enjoyable. I think I might have walked out shoe-less if I had a massage!
I’ll be back……marking you in my reader now.
I see you’re a fan of Red Door, too!
that is SO something i would do…ahahah.
I would say “only you…” and laugh with you, but it is only because the same things happen to ALL of us. Glad you got your spa day, even if it ended with AN INCIDENT!
that looked very confusing to me.
wait. jen met you at the aquarium???? you’re out there meeting and greeting people in public and i wasn’t invited?????
hmmmphhh.
Screw normalcy! Up with drama, yo.
25 minutes????? And it happens all the time huh????
It was nice meeting you at the Aquarium today. I’m sure it wasn’t as relaxing as a spa treatment what with all those people, fish, and crazy blog fans coming up to you. Check out my blog if you get a chance!
When I first read it, I thought you said YOU got locked in the dressing room wearing only shoes…Thank goodness it was the SHOES locked in the LOCKER.
Maybe I need a nap.
