Autumn & I left the house 1/2 hour earlier than usual today. I dropped her off at daycare and then went to the county tax assessor’s building to get the title for the Durango switched over to my name so I can turn it into the insurance company for the totaled Durango. Since I got there right when it opened, I didn’t have to wait in line at all and I wasn’t even late to work. I’ve been needing to get it done for weeks now, but just haven’t had the time and it’s been nagging at me. I love being able to get dog jobs like this done and out of the way.
It was slow at work today, so I started reading “The Help” for free online. I saw the trailer for the movie that’s coming out in August and I will definitely be going to see it the day it comes out b/c it looks like such a good movie. I got about 1/3 of the way through the book today (in between working) and it’s SO GOOD so far. I wish I could get all of my girl friends together and buy out a whole theater and go see it all together.
I had an appointment for tonight at 6:00 to get my nails done b/c they are so grown out that they’re 1/2 way up my normal nail bed and I have a hard time doing things b/c they’re too long. I got there at 5:30 and Mom called to say she had just picked up Autumn from college and that when she was at the nail place earlier today getting her nails done, she paid for my nails, a pedicure, and the tip! What a WONDERFUL and MUCH APPRECIATED surprise! I never get pedicures b/c they’re too expensive and I’d much rather have my nails done. It’s my treat to myself once a month, especially since I don’t spend any $ on make up since I don’t wear any. But the pedicure tonight was HEAVENLY, especially when they massaged my legs w/ lotion and hot rocks. I felt like I had fallen into the lap of luxury w/ getting a pedicure and my nails done at the same time. I am so thankful for my Mom and all she does to make life comfortable and wonderful for me.
I came home and fixed myself a sandwich for dinner since everyone else had eaten Chipotle earlier. Autumn played games on the iPad while having Papa feed her strawberries for dessert. We watched some TV and then I had to get Autumn home and into bed. I laid down w/ her until she fell asleep and Nick got home at 9:20 and then I went over to Christine’s to watch The Bachelorette. JP is by far my favorite guy, which is surprising since I didn’t think he was very attractive at the beginning. I still don’t think he’s that attractive but he’s so good to Ashley and he really cares for her. I was so happy when Ben said he’d traveled to Italy & Slovenija before b/c that’s where his ancestors are from! I fell asleep as soon as I got home b/c I had been up late last night and gotten up early this morning.

Isn't "The Help" awesome? If you want someone to go with you -- I'm totally in. I LOVED that book. In fact, I've read it twice (reviewed it for book club). I'm glad you got a pedicure. They're such a nice treat. And I'll say it again: Autumn has the most wonderful grandpa in the entire world. Who else would feed you strawberries?
Loving all the updates! I just finished The Help and could not put it down! I wish we could go see it together. :)
