Dr. Fish Pedicure in Washington D.C.

Well I am in D.C. in Virginia with my boss attending a training on Writing Federal Proposals and Winning Executive Summaries. This is one of the most difficult workshops I have ever attended. The people attending the training write proposals for large companies (not for non-profit) for million and billion dollar contracts, the lingo they use I just don't understand. I have had a hard time following the information being provided. The scenarios they use are about aeronautics etc. I am getting a migraine just talk about it. There is some good information that I will hopefully be able to use in my job. For a treat, my boss and I went into Alexandria and experiences the Dr. Fish Pedicure, man was that an experience of a life time. You submerge your feet in a clear tub and these fish begin sucking on your feet getting off the dead skin. In Asia people submerge their entire bodies in a pool of water, the benefits are softer skin and improved circulation throughout your body. My feet feels like a babies bottom. The cost $35 for 15 min. of fish sucking on your feet. I can't explain how it feels. Here are some pix.

October 2008!

I woke up this morning to rain and overcast skie, and it is at least 20 degrees cooler outside. Finally, fall is here I have noticed the leaves are beginning to change colors and cooler temps to come. I am heading to D.C. on Monday for a workshop and can't wait for a little break from work. This is a busy time of the year for me because I am putting on two breakfast with santa fundraisers and sending out alot of donation requests. At the same time I am preparing myself mentally for Carl to deploy again to Iraq at the beginning of January.

Just bare with me I am learning how to navigate around this blog and am very excited to be able to share with everyone on how the girls are doing.
