The Grand Spa at the Grand America is going to be putting a "four handed massage" on their menu, so today we all got together for training for it. This is one of my favorite massages to recieve. If you have never had the opportunity to have two people work on you at the same time - four hands at once, you have to do it.

This massage is pure bliss. Your body becomes so overstimulated that you literally melt into the table. Each therapist mirrors the other. Whatever one does, so does the other on the opposite side. You really have to be in tune and pay attention to the other therapist. I really have a hard life at the spa, having to get massages by two people at the same time for training!

I love working at the spa at the Grand America. They really cater to a high end of clientele which means big tips. I had the opportunity to work on two NBA players a couple of weeks ago and it was really fun. They were from the Nets and playing the Jazz. I'm working an extra day at the spa this year, so hopefully I will have more clients to work on.

On Tuesday we celebrated Nala's 5th birthday. She has been in our family for two years now. We love her so much because she gives us complete and total unconditional love and affection every minute of theday.

I took both dogs in the car to Petco, but only took Nala in with me. (I have vowed to never shop for pet items trying to control two BIG dogs on leashes). I let her sniff up and down the isles to pick out a special birthday treat. Of course she stopped at the squeeky toy isle (a new found favorite) and came across a monkey squeeky toy. She went crazy. Her tail wagging and nose sniffing and tried to bite it, so I knew it was the one.

Well, since our dogs are like our kids, Kramer tried to steal the new monkey all night. I think next time I will buy two treats for the dogs and then they will be happy. It's like having kids trying to teach them to share.

That's what's happening lately with us. I think more people in our family should post what's going on with them and more pics! We would love to hear from everybody!
