National Best Friend Day

Apparently, recently, it was national best friend day.

Instead of making some sweet, sentimental comment about friendship, how great my friends are (they are!), or how much they mean to me (they do!) - let me ask this:  what's with the emergence of all these randomass holidays?  Is the marketing team at Hallmark working overtime?  Are there more Leslie Knopes out there than we realized?

Does anyone actually observe these holidays?  I'm not talking observe in a cheesy-facebook-post-style celebration - I'm talking buys cards/flowers/gifts etc.  I'm secretly hoping not.  Let's not be suckers, fellow consumers.  Unless, of course, anyone wants to shower me with some presents.  That's a whole 'nother story, dear FRIENDS, especially on a day like this.  Nudge nudge.  Wink wink.

That Time of Year

Happy Thanksgiving!

Of course, being the responsible person I am, I tested it immediately. It works great!

It's coming soon....

Dun Dun Dun....

Relaxation....

So, once again, I have a coupon from my parents for a massage at a spa (very official looking - it has a snoopy sticker and everything). The past couple times I've gone for massages at Spa Space downtown. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I know they have often come up as a top rated spa in the Chicagoland area....

So, what shall I do? Shall I stick with a winner, or try something new? Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone else have a good massage experience in Chicago (or an experience to avoid)? Which are the best spas in Chicago? Anyone? Bueller? Any thoughts?
