Since this was a nice three day weekend for the holiday I decided to start on a project that has been bothering me for a while now. I always tell people that R and I don’t watch television except for our DVDs (it’s the economy really). When they ask how many movies we have I was only ever able to tell them that when we moved I had three boxes of clothes and seven boxes of movies. Well since there was no real order to things other than R’s “recently watched” stack I decided that this needed to be remedied. Button came over with some software that reads the bar codes and makes a list of all of the movies. We only did the DVD collection. The VHS collection is much much smaller. The DVDs alone numbered in at a whopping 778… until R noticed that we had missed two… a grand total of 780. So, if you average that each movie is an hour and forty five minutes that’s 1365 HOURS of viewing time!!! Guess that means we don’t really have a need for cable, now does it?
Being a brunet is great… most of the time. We tend to stand out (not as well as a true red head but they’re like four leaf clovers) in the throngs of blonds. There are a few drawbacks as any cocoa coiffed coed will tell you. One is that greys stand out more (duh white on dark makes a statement only a bottle can fix) and another is that we can get a 5 o’clock shadow straight out of the shower. There, I said it. It’s not pretty.
Now, this may be fashionable for men to tote on their face. Under a lady’s arm… let’s say that fashionable isn’t quite the right word for it. Enter our friend wax.
I tried waxing my underarms this weekend after a friend told me she did it and it was the best thing ever (and her sister does it professionally from her home). Oh, how can I pass this up? After a week (yes, a whole week) of gross not shaving I was excited to give this waxing business a try.
Having done my eyebrows many times I was aware what it might feel like and honestly I was a bit worried that I would ball like a baby when it came right down to it. Boy, was I surprised! It really didn’t hurt. Ok, well it hurt much less than brows do by far! I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t completely converted after just one try.
Seriously people this woman is an artist. I did my brows and under my arms for $25. A steal I say. Now, I’m expecting everyone to email me for her name and phone number. Help put this amazing woman through school, folks.
