Day 117 Feb.11 2011

my "roommate" invited me out for a valentine's evening put on by a committee at her church.  it consisted of dinner at a mexican restaurant followed by an evening of pampering at a committee member's home. 

i was so incredibly taken aback by the warmth and friendliness of all the woman involved in the event.  i expected to get what i paid for (it was free), but was very pleasantly surprised.  there was a manicure and pedicure station (with full hand and foot massages), full body massage table, head/face massages, about 5 massage chair pads, 3 bathtubs, a sauna, chocolate covered giant strawberries, cheesecake, sparkling punch (3 different flavors)...and it was all quality.  it was amazing.

it's nice to know there are still people out there that are willing to give without strings attached or expectations.  it's very uplifting, and is very contagious :)
