This weekend was filled with doing things I had not done in far too long:
I pried the crusty burners off my stove top and let them soak in hot, soapy water so the months-old alfredo sauce that had spilled over and caked onto them could soften and be scrubbed off. Then I even lifted the entire cook top and cleaned under the burners! I honestly don’t remember the last time that had been done. Probably just after I came home from the hospital with a newborn Avelyn and had my mom cook and clean for me for two weeks while I fumbled my way through those first awkward steps on the motherhood journey. I need to hurry up and have this other kid so she can come and clean my grimy house again!
I baked and had one (or two…dozen) of these with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream. If you are looking for a quick and easy, yet divinely satisfying, brownie, here it is.
I had a pedicure at a lovely spa. My toes are now painted a riotous shade of ruby red and I love them. I also had a bikini wax, which was much less enjoyable than the pedicure. Owell, pain is beauty, right?
What has it been too long since you’ve done?

I also haven’t had a bikini wax in way too long. Booked one today though in preparation for this kid’s entry into the world. Not looking forward to the pregnancy wax – I think it’s gonna hurt :(
It’s been far too long since I’ve had a haircut…though I hope to remedy that this month!
Seen you. :(
I could use a pedicure too.
To be brutally honest, it’s been WAAAYYYYY too long since I got some sweet sweet lovin’ (Sept 17th to be exact–the hubby’s in Iraq). Also, props to you for the bikini wax, I heard those are BRUTAL when you’re pregnant.
It’s been too long since I went on vacation – 8 long years.
since I’ve kissed a man and felt the hope of the start of something beautiful.
It’s been a while since I last shaved my legs…..oh,
and a vacation. I stopped at Home Depot over the weekend
and bought 4 new burner trays for my stove top. They
were quite crusty as well. I was too lazy to take the
time to clean mine! Oh how they sparkle now.
It’s been too long since I’ve had my hair done…Maybe next week…
Since I’ve eaten brownies! Mmm. Those look delish!
Apparently it’s been too long since I’ve scrubbed my shower. How I didn’t notice it’s dreary state until now is beyond me – time to get out the bleach!
If you can wrap the burner trays in aluminum foil – makes for easy clean up, even if you do just the burn you use most often.
So how bad does that waxing hurt? I have NEVER tried it and have been contemplating.
It’s amazing how good a little maintenance can make us feel!
Ha! I also decided that I HAD to get a pedicure and wax, and ran out Sunday morning to do just that. My toes are now a lovely shade of burgundy called “A Man in Every Portugal.” Oh, yeahhh.
