Feeling Better

Thank you all for your pro-voodoo comments. I have cast on for a petite voodoo dolly, but I haven't had any luck acquiring the yeti fur. That's ok, you know why? (Aside from the fact that touching her hair is kinda gross.)

I went to an inn/spa this weekend! I left the office early on Friday with my coworker/trench buddy Asya, plus some other girls, for a few days of rest, relaxation and spa treatments. No men or yeti bitches allowed. We ate good food, did nice shopping, I had a massage with a rather disconcerting male hippy masseuse with long fingernails (yuuuuuuuuuck) and a space cult cadence to his speech. 

Everyone in the town of Berkeley Springs, WV is SO. NICE. I mean, god. Coming from the bitchy ass DC Metro Area where you avoid general eye contact until it's time to have a battle of Superiority and Condescension (I can only tie with the homeless people), to a town where everyone from the 7-11 cashier to the art gallery attendant to the artist IN the art gallery strikes up a conversation with you that starts with, "good morning!" and ends with, "have a great day!" was like a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend coming to this town!!

Sadly, I forgot my camera or I could have some lovely pictures to share with you. Oh well, at least I'll have a voodoo dolly soon enough!

Oooooh, sounds nice! Too bad about the long fingernails though. Good luck with the hair!

you know, thinking about that masseuse thing... my cousin is a masseuse in the DC area... he's really good too. he'd be a world better than Fingernail-y the space cadet. (haha, that cracked me up! a world better than a space cadet. woo. I kill myself sometimes! just kidding!)

Glad you had a good time...I was just in Buffalo and it was just like that. So....nice. For a NYC gal like me it was kind of like Stepford...I'm just not used to it. Hope you find just the right shade of fun fur for your yeti hair.

You know.. it's horribly funny you mention an adult size one.. cause I was thinking the same thing, but maybe with a more open neckline.
