    Red face First Mani/pedi tomorrow.

    It's my birthday tomorrow... technically today. I usually celebrate that by going to a restaurant with friends. Now that I'm post surgery, I've had to rethink and I found a good deal on gift cards last month for a local spa. Now spas, in my head, are generally the bastion of style-obsessed miniature people who will try to eat the fat girl for lunch or at least make her very, very ashamed of being fat in their presence. But in trying to come up with other options to celebrate my birthday I came up blank.

    So I planned to go with a friend, who is also large and shrinking, but she developed pneumonia and is in the hospital and therefore cannot rescue me from the man-eating miniatures.
    So today/tomorrow I venture out alone into the world of mani/pedis for my very first time. Pray for my safe return!

    Happy Birthday. I have done it a few times. Not all places treat the plus size as less than. Hopefully you get a good place.

    Happy birthday. Pedicure and manicures are fabulous. I have never had issue with them doing my feet. However, I don't like them to rub my legs. Also, I have always detested massages. Maybe age there is less of me to rub, I will change my mind.

    It was wonderful! It was a spa mani/pedi so I even got to have my hands and feet massaged and sat in a massaging chair.
