Touch of Heaven

My vacation came to an end today. I really did not do much except read my book. I finished reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It took forever! Over 600 pages. Phew. So it took me 2 weeks. I went to the book store in the mall yesterday to get the 5th book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The lady at the bookstore said, “we don’t have a paper back copy of that book, only hard cover. I can search for it at other locations.” I said to my self, “great! Now I have to go to another location!” She said, “only Chapters in the south have it, and they only have three copies left in paper back.” I said, “well, how much is the hard cover you have behind you?”

I thought in my head, maybe $30 or $35 bucks. She then said, “$45 bucks!” I was dumbfounded! I was like wtf. The paper back is only $18.95! Why that much price difference between the two??? Argh.. I said, “no thank you!”

So I tried to go back to Zellers cause they have a collection of famous books. They had it, but they had the adult version. A thick little book with black cover. It was hideous looking and I was collecting them in their fun colorful covers.

I remembered that the bookstore at the University has it. It’s funny that I seldom bought books for classes, but I check out their best seller fictional books. At least I know they won’t cost me over 100 bucks! I went there at 8:30 in the morning to make sure I got a copy. Like any other person would grab one? All those little kids probably finished reading the whole series by now, and I just started a month ago.

Did I say the 5th book is way better!

Anyways, after some reading, I decided to head to the mall. I know I am broke and I spent far too much and it is only the 7th of this month. I got paid a week ago, and now I am broke. I spent the entire salary almost. However, I went to Sears today and I saw a digital camera I wanted, but I can’t buy it till tomorrow. Tomorrow it will be 10 dollars off. A nice Sony little camera. I need better pics, and I got a Sears card!

So earlier today I was looking in the mirror and thought to my self, “God I need to pluck my eye brows!” I didn’t do it cause I was lazy and I am really sleepy till after 12 or 1 pm anyway. As I got to the mall, I decided to try out this nice looking beauty spa place. I didn’t need an appointment. I just went in and the lady was pleased. She took me into this little room with a bed in it. This is comfy I thought. Better than sitting on a chair and have to tilt back my head. I was sore for the past 3 days cause of gym. So I needed to really lay down. She waxed and plucked my eye brows and tried to make small talk with me. I can’t talk when my eyes are closed. She asked me to close them or the wax will get on my eye lashes. So she asked how is the weather outside and if it was still raining. I bluntly said, “Nop!” After 10 min or so, when she was nearing the end, she said, “do you think it will rain again tonight?” I thought to my self, “what the hell? Am I the weather network!” I said, “I don’t know, I doubt it.” I hate rain, so I will always doubt it! Then when she was completely done, she then said to me, “do you put any cream or anything on your eyes, they are a bit dry.” I didn’t want to lie and at the same time I wanted to act like a lazy bum since I came all the way here to pay 12 bucks to someone who will do my eye brows for me. So I said, “well, I do have cream for my eyes and I know they are dry.” I paused, I smiled, and then said, “but I have been lazy lately to put it on!” I hardly wear make up, just Arabic powder eye liner (kohl), and that’s it.

After that I thought, God my neck hurts and my feet are sore. I need a massage. I was dying to go to the Aqua Massage place. I was always hesitant because it cost $20 dollars for 10 minutes. Or $25 for 15 minutes, and so on. I had cash on me, and I seem to be eager to spend and I felt I needed a proper massage. I wanted to extremely pamper my self today.

I went in, and I said, “Hello, I need 10 minutes.” Yes, it sounded horribly nasty.

After I paid, she said, “this is a box where you can place your purse, make sure you take your belt off, (I wasn’t wearing one), and we will lock it for you, and the key you get to hold with you as you are getting your massage.” I was a bit astounded by that, but before I went in, I did question my self of the location where I would be placing my purse.

She sat me in the machine. She said, “sit facing down on your stomach. There are headphones here for nice relaxing music, and this button control will pause the water motion whenever you need more message on certain areas of your body.”

I said, “ok, that sounds good.”

She closed the thing on me, and she turned the thing on. The moment it started I started laughing. I am very ticklish person and I burst out laughing and for a moment I wanted to get out of it. I am beyond ticklish that I can’t stand anyone touching me.

I then felt the water go up more beyond my feet, and to my back. I was like God!! I needed that. The pressure of the water on my back was amazing. Then up to my neck. I thought to my self, “who ever invented this thing was a genius!”

I had my head down and the music was so soft, I wanted to seriously sleep. However, I wanted to test the controllers on this thing. So every time it got close to my lower back, I paused it. I was like aaaaaaaaah..

When it got to my feet I laughed. It was ticklish.

It kept going back and forth and I thought, wow, this is taking a while. The 10 minutes of massage felt like 30 minutes in my head. As the machine stopped, and the lady said in a quiet soft voice, “how was that?” I said with my eyes very droopy and sleepy, “that was nice, but I am so sleepy.”

I went to grab my things and my shoes and she then said, “here is a bottle of water for you as well.” I said, “thank you so much!”

I never felt such a nice sensation. Now I know where I will be going every time my body aches.
