T.G.I.F.

Pretty uneventful day here in Laura-land. I had a phone interview for the job I am trying to score. It went well and she said that I would be getting a glowing recommendation. I have the real interview on Wednesday...wish me luck!

I babysat from 9:15 til 4:00. I know this does not sound like a very long time, but it goes by so slowly with an 18 month old that is not talking yet. And of course the parents we there. I freakin hate babysitting when the parents are there. And these are the parents who poo poo on watching tv. Not that I would actually make the kid watch tv instead of playing with him, but I would like to watch some morning trash while fixing his snack.

I met Kelly for shopping after work. We had some serious fun playing with all the stuff at Brookstone. We both tried the greatest foot massage thingy I have ever seen. I really had a hard time getting out of it. I think that they should offer them at the nail salon while you are waiting.
I sat down in the $2000 massage chair and I am of course swiftly joined by the employee in charge of watching the chair. "Are you in the market for a massage chair?" What do you say to this? It is obvious that I am not and I just want to sit in a chair after work and relax. He says that he can only give me about a 5 minute demonstration. I am fine with this and so the demo commences. He is going over his sales pitch and telling me how I can have this chair for only $85 a month for 2 years. I try to sound impressed, but really I am thinking, "Go away and shut up so I can pretend I am in a spa somewhere near the beach and not in the middle of Lenox."
