Dont do it

Dear friends,

If you ever hear me say, I think I will wax my own legs tomorrow.
Dont let me do it!
not because it hurt... but for so many other reasons.
so I've been planning to wax my legs for a while, which you have to plan ahead for a while, because you have to grow your leg hair out like 1/4 at least, which takes a lot of devotion not to shave it off...
then you go to purchase this goo, which btw when microwaving smells amazing.
like pina coladas, which we all know I love, so I was excited... I read all the directions like it says then I went about waxing... really it didnt hurt. It hurts a little, but not bad at all, so as I get into it, I realize they only give you like 30 of those little "cloth" strips... I'm only on my calf and I've went through like 7... so I'm thinking to myself... hm... will I have enough?
then as I finish my left calf I think, well lets see how well this excess was comes off... because even though I waxed not all of the wax comes off and not all of the hair comes out. so I get out the little blue bottle full of "soothing and wax removing" liquid. well soothing maybe, wax removing NO! its a mess, my fingers are waxy, my leg is waxy, the bathroom counter... waxy... so I start spreading this blue liquid everywhere, no good,
so I jump in the shower, and use a nice warm water and blue liquid mix, I used over 1/2 the bottle only on my left calf... imagine if I would have done my whole leg... I wouldnt have enough blue stuff and I would be walking around work tomorrow with my pant leg half stuck to me. attractive. as is the bruise I got from waxing myself... I really must bruise easy, ridiculous.
and I had to shave leg anyway! so not worth it...
maybe i should have gotten it done professionally.
so all be warned, do not try this at home.

Sadly

Dear All,

Sadly mister did not get to wear his halloween costume, and entertain little children as they came to our door. We did not pass out halloween candy this year. My Grandfather passed away on October 30th 2009. My mom's Birthday. The funeral was held at my Grandma and Grandpa's house on the following Monday. He will be missed.They were married for 60 years, this past September, I can only hope to make it that long. 58 more to go.

on another note, Josh is heading to Germany this month, returning just in time for thanksgiving, unfortunately leaving all the cleaning to me. and let me tell you, there is a TON!

Happy thanksgiving
