Go ahead...

and SPOIL yourself, you're worth it. I just finished reading Tori Spelling's most recent book "Mommywood". On a side note, I like logging into our local library website, requesting top sellers and picking them up. I know it takes all the fun out of book shopping while at the library. But, seriously, if I am going to invest in reading (which is LOW on my priority list), I might as well read something I want to read. The day Beth Moore released her new book "So Long Insecurity", the library called to tell me that my book "Mommywood" was ready to be picked up. What to read, what to read...I had read a chapter or two in Beth's book but needed some of Tori's comic relief. I decided to dive into "Mommywood". Moore's book was mine to own, and Spelling's book was due back to the library in two weeks. I read Spelling's first book "sTORI Telling" and have watched her on Oxygen. Hollywood is fascinating, isn't it, especially T? She thinks nothing of throwing an elaborate funeral for her pup, leaving her stroller in a parking garage because she can't fold it, raking her own mother through the dirt, and so on and so on. I think what amazes me the most about Tori is her ability to admit she's totally imperfect and like all of us Mom's, just wants to fit in and "do it" right. She realizes the "normal" life will be hard for her being a celebrity and all. I'm sorry Tori but, it's hard being a parent PERIOD, especially a mother. You don't have to be famous to be hard on yourself both physically and emotionally. I feel bad SPOILING myself even though I know I deserve it! Don't we all need some spoiling. We spend so much time taking care of everyone and everything around us that we sometimes forget to take care of ourselves. Okay, so I'm not sure where the above paragraph came from because I wrote this post to show everyone Karson's and my fabulous nails (thus the spoiling):

I mentioned in my last post that Shannon and I were joining HOT YOGA. She called on Wednesday afternoon to see if I could join her for a pedicure--her treat! WOW, how could I turn down that offer? Well, at first, I did. I wasn't sure what to do with the boys who wouldn't enjoy my leisurely time at the Wal-Mart nail spa (I can call it spa, can't I?). I called Matt and asked in my most pitiful voice if he'd watch them, and of course, being the wonderful person he is, he agreed to do so. I chose green which I believe I have read in my US Weeklies and Glamour is the "it" color right now. I love the way it turned out.

Karson couldn't get over how cool my toe nails looked and had been begging to have her nails done. I took her yesterday, and she chose a violet purple and flower nail art. She couldn't wait to show them off this morning to her friends. Karson has never been much of a girlie girl. I'm really not a girlie girl either, but really what is a girlie girl? One who gets her nails done? Gets massages? Likes great hair cuts? Count me in if that's the case--it's fun being a girlie girl and even more fun sharing it with my lovely little girlie girl.
