My Pedicure Experience at a top rated place

After having spent wonderful time at lunch with my husband, I headed to get my pedicure done. I walk into this place called "La Monique" at Castro st. in Mountain View. I have been here earlier and had a good experience. As soon as this lady without any name batch started her work on my legs, I could make out that I am in for disaster. She was moving her hands very lazily, although its Thursday and the place is not at all crowded. She was cleaning of my cuticles, just in name. Massage was like so bad, as if I have made her to do it against her wishes. No pressure, her hands never touched back portion of my calfs..all superficial.Then came wax..and I knew it will be very hot so I waited few minutes before she could put my legs in, then also it was hot.I was hoping atleast she cannot paint the nails bad, she must be having that much experience to do that much right. But, it was a disaster too. I do a better job at it. Nailpolish was all smudging upto the cuticles and left marks around the nails on skin. When she was done, I asked her if she is going to clean those marks, she did try but couldnt clean it. I was sulking whole time for walking into this place and swear wont do it again. Spoiler to a good lunch:-)

Girlfriend and Wife

Now, I am a wife to my once boyfriend. Lately, I am realizing what good old times were those when that boyfriend of mine expressed his emotions..hugged, kissed,surprised, arranged outings, brought flowers, gifts..overall I could feel love in the air and all around me. It was heaven, which I didnt realize at that time. May be, what I have today would sound heaven sometime in the future.
That transition from boyfriend to wife doesn't happen overnite. It takes atleast a year or one kid. What changed in your boyfriend when he became your husband and what are the things you wish he would still do as a husband?
