My wonderful husband Howard and I are at the Indulge Yourself resort and spa located in beautiful Palm Springs, California. We have been married for 20 years and let me tell you the two of us are a study in contrast. He is handsome, smart, quiet and very opinionated as he will tell you what he thinks rather you like it or not. He does consulting work for firms that want to develop products. What can I say about me? Well let’s see, I’m currently unemployed. Got mad at my prior boss and went home one night and didn’t bother to go back – guess that makes me a little on the stupid and impulsive side. I try not to “rock the boat” but because I tend to hold things in, when I get to my breaking point, then Lord help all that happen to be close by. I’m not physically violent but I take no hostages in regards to words. I thought since I didn’t have to get up to go to work and could use some cheering up that we could visit the spa and have a couple days of pampering. This spa is rumored to be very popular with celebrities when they need to loose a pound or two before award shows. Seeing as how the Oscars are coming up, it should be overrun with famous people.

You should see this place – it’s gorgeous! I counted five chandlers hanging in the lobby alone. The floors are Italian marble and the carpet looks so plush that I started to take my shoes off so I could feel it against my feet. As I reached down to remove a shoe, Howard gave my one of “his” looks. “You know if you stare at me any harder you’ll burn a hole in the atmoshere” I told him as I straightened up and left my shoe on. Decided that I would come back down when he was napping to try out their wonderful carpet.

We checked in at the front desk and as we were going to our room I through the lady with the oversized sunglasses looked just like Mia Farrow. The suites are well furnished and large. Our room looks over the pool area and salt baths. Howard asked me if I was going to put on a bathing suit and go lay among the rich and famous. “Not to be Johnny Raincloud, but…not going to happen.” I told him as I laughed at that silly notion. Guess I forgot to tell you that I’m a “Few” pounds overweight and I avoid cameras and bathing suits with a passion.

We left our suite and went down to the pool area to see if we could find some movie stars. Sure enough sitting at the bar was Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith along with Kevin Costner engaged in a conversation. I must admit I stood there staring until a waiter came over and offered us glasses of champagne. “Ahhhh…champagne” I said to Howard. “I could live like this forever”. Of course Howard being more grounded, reminded me that one of us was unemployed so I would be better developing a taste for grape juice. I was getting ready to say something really witty when everyone suddenly heard “OH MY GAWD!” and a loud splash as someone was pushed into the pool. Standing at the far side of the pool was Hillary Clinton and yes, it was Bill Clinton who was threading water and not looking too happy if you asked me. Hillary hissed that he was not going to embarrass her again and that he better find a way to control himself. Then she turned on her heels and stormed off. At this time the good ole Secret Service detail came and helped Mr. Clinton, who was fully dressed I should mention, out of the pool and they headed after Hillary. Wonder what room they were staying in as it would probably be pretty interesting over there tonight.

Having had enough of the excitement by the pool, Howard and I went back to our suite to enjoy the private hot tub that was in our bathroom. “Marilynn, come her a minute” Howard called. As I approached the bathroom I could see something moving about in the hot tub. It was a small mallard that apparently flew in through the open French doors. “Don’t bother him” I said. “It reminds me of that children’s nursery rhyme that goes something like, A little smile. A little Laugh. A little duckie in the bath.” “Let him enjoy the warm water tonight”. No sooner had I say that then the stupid duck panicked and start flying all over the suite. He knocked down the floor lamp causing the glass shade to shatter. I could have dealt with that, but apparently the duck wasn’t through with us yet, as it started pooping all over the place as it flew about the room. We tried to usher it out the French doors but each time we got it close, the duck eluded us and went back towards the living room. Out of desperation I opened the front door to the hallway and the duck flew out and hit Paris Hilton in the head. Paris said a few choice words but when she saw the little mallard sitting stunned on the ground she stooped and picked it up. Needless to say Paris now has a duck in her pet population.

When I first walk the first words out of my mouth are OH MY GAWD! The very first person that I saw other than the girl showing me where to go was Jennifer Aniston in a bathrobe. She is even more beautiful in person than in the movies and on TV. The two of us are a study in contrast. This nice lady came in with a glass. Ahhhh....champagne I'll drink to anything right about now. The lady is ready to start on me and she comes and just stares at me, finally I say to her "If you stare at me any harder you'll burn a hole in the atmoshere. She tells me that she is ready to do a mud bath one me. I just look at her " Not to be a Johnny Raincloud, but ... not going to happen". No mud bath for me.
She then asks if I'd rather get in the hot tub instead. Yes I can handle the hot tub a lot better than a mud bath. You know a little smile. A little laugh. A little duckie in the bath. I am really enjoying my time in the hot tub when Leonardo DiCaprio comes in to join me in the hot tub. End of Story.

"Please, please, please!" Jenny begged.
I shook my head. "Not to be Johnny Raincloud, but... not going to happen."
Jenny pouted and continuted begging. "Please! You don't even like spas!"
I sighed. I love my sister, absolutely and totally, but the two of us are a study in contrast. I like baseball and hotdogs and fun, and she seems to like having no fun at all - and she hates baseball! But what I mean is, she likes spas. Goes to them all the time.
So when I won a full spa treatment at Glamour, the hottest spa in Hollywood, I knew she'd come begging to let me go instead of her. I am just so thankful I knew the name of the Lone Ranger's nephew's horse!
I'm not going to let her go instead of me. I'm sorry, but I'm just not going to. I haven't had the day to myself in ages, and I tell you what, I wouldn't mind going to the hottest Hollywood spa.
Long story short, I arrive at the spa. Already my eyes are watering with all the glitz and glamour. As I step through the door, I gasp in amazement. I recognized these people! They were all... all movie stars! Wow, I thought to myself, trying to look cool and collected (though I almost died at the sight of Catherine Zeta Jones!) Before I can collect myself, I'm whisked through gilded hallways and smothered in warm linen.
Wrapped as I am, like a caterpillar in a cocoon, I can't really see who's on either side of me. But suddenly I hear to my right, "Ahhhh... champagne."
I know that voice!
I whip over, almost falling off my chair. I gasp. "OH MY GAWD!No way!" I say.
Meg Ryan smiles at me. "Hello," she says.
I gape, astonished at being in such close proximity with such an actress. I feel her gaze burning into me. Say something, I beg of myself. Stop staring, I beg of her. If you stare at me any harder you'll burn a hole in the atmosphere. I wonder vaguely in the back of my mind whether she can get me Kevin Kline's number.
I, like a fool, finally say "What are you doing here?"
She grins at me. "You know how it is. Hard day at work, followed by a little smile. A little laugh. A little duckie in the bath. A nice glass of champagne. And all is right with the world again."
I smile back at her, but before I can think of anything even slightly witty to say, she's up and on her way out.
I didn't get a chance to talk to anymore actresses, but I did book a reservation for next month. I'll meet the great and near great!

And maybe get Kevin Kline's number...
