One Hour Massage

Today's New was probably one of my favorite news by far! As you can already tell from the title of this post, I did in fact get an hour massage today! Please don't think I would just waste a lot of money like that, you have to listen to the events surrounding today's new. And it all started three years ago...

I was in my junior year of high school and it was about 2 A.M. We were at after prom and quite ready to go home. But of course the school likes to wait until the last second to give door prizes out because they don't want us all running off and getting drunk and making babies. So of course I stay because any chance I get at something free I take!

They finally call my name and I go up and grab one of the bags that are lined up across the stage area. Inside is a bunch a useless coupons, but one good thing, a twenty-five dollar gift card to New London Steakhouse. That's not too shabby, it wasn't the iPod but it was still something. Well, only one table over this guy I knew won a gift certificate for an hour massage and I am all about massages! So I ask if he wants to trade and he certainly does, because apparently an hour massage is a girlie thing to do. I was very happy with myself that night.

But as the days went on I kept looking at that gift card and doubting my decision. The massage was supposed to be at this place called The Palor and it was downtown. Well it sounded very sketchy to me because I had never heard of it. I kept imagining this old man Barber shop with a little room in the back with a table in it. So I decided the best thing to do would be to shove it in my desk drawer.

Over the years I would find it again and put it back and then find it again. Well, one of those "agains" happened last week. I was looking through my drawers and I come across this certificate, and there is no expiration date on it! I couldn't believe my luck! So I decide to finally use it.

My massage was today at 4:30 and I had been anticipating it all week. I absolutely love massages and back scratches. I melt like puddy any time anyone does that to me. And it turns out that The Parlor downtown is one of the nicest places to go and get a massage.

I walk at 4:30 on the dot. I announce myself to the receptionist lady and my masseuse is standing right next to her. We shake hands and she ushers me into a room. The lights are dimmed down and she tells me to strip down to what I feel comfortable and lay on the table with the blanket on. I decide leaving the underwear on would be the best bet. When I take my stockings off I realize that I forgot to shave. Oops. Oh, well I guess she'll just have to deal with my stubbly legs.

When she started the massage, my head was first. As soon as she started I just wanted to laugh, I don't know why, it all just struck me as funny. But I got a grip of myself and closed my eyes and relaxed. It was amazing. I soaked up every second of it. She did my shoulders and neck and arms and then feet, oh the feet! That was so so good. Then she did my stubbly legs and then I turned on my stomach and she did the back of both of my legs and then my back. I can't believe I actually got an hour massage. It was surreal.

It was like she was reading my mind too! When she was doing something I would think to myself, I wish she would use her thumbs, and the next thing I knew, she was! Oh my goodness, it was so fantastic!

And when I walked out I gave her a tip and acted like I was rich and saying I'd be back and probably bring my mom back for a day at the spa there. Oh it was fun!

If you ever get the chance to get a massage, do it! Even if you have to pay for it yourself, it is worth it! Maybe I'll make it a routine:)
