As if we women don't have enough to worry about! Thanks to the easy accessiblity of porn, we women are now almost overly concerned with the grooming of our nether regions!
Marilyn Monroe made sure her curtains matched her drapes. Most women at least trim the hedges and some of us just throw caution to the wind and take a Brazillian approach. Some women compromise and leave a little reminder that they've actually reached puberty and leave a little racing stripe.
When you think about it, this type of upkeep is a bit ridiculous. Since the beginning of time, men have been facinated with women's feminine cores. They've never seemed to mind risking the possiblity of getting tangled in it's wild yet beguilling clutches. This is why I was a bit taken aback by an admission made by a friend of mine who was telling me about his new girlfriend. He told me that she was smart, beautiful, self-reliant and easy to talk to. He said he liked the fact that she was a size 16 and not another liposuctioned, over aerobicised, fembot. I was thrilled. "Finally!" I thought. "He's hit the jackpot." Then he went on to say, "The only thing that bother's me is well, she's um...all natural down there."
"Well, I certainly hope so!" I replied, "You wouldn't want that to be fake would you?"
"No," he said. She doesn't really trim the hedges. I kinda prefer it to be clean shaven."
"Considering the fact that it is her vagina, don't you think that's really up to her?"
"Yeah, but, I don't know. I was just wondering if there was a way I could bring it up without offending her."
"Well damn, man! Does it bother you enough to keep you from having sex with her?"
"No."
"Case closed."
So, is there a way to for him to bring the issue up without him looking like a tool? Don't get me wrong, I'm being completely hypocritical because I've fallen into the grooming trap myself. I won't get into graphic details, but I will say....nahh, nevermind.
in other news my nephew is here and i couldn't be happier.
i havent wanted to drink any wine in like 3 days... which is something.
pray for my dad's eyes. he had surgery on them for cataracts and is having a few subsequent complications.
and i leave you with one of my favorite morbid songs:
I also got a new mirror and some of the shining hair polishing stuff that Myclette recommended to me when I was in TX. The way I am going with hair products, I am going to need two bathroom sinks so I can do my hair just once! At least I will look FIERCE.
No visit to the gym on Wed because there were 3 million cars in the parking lot. The gym is in a strip mall sort of shopping center and parking is limited anyway. I had no idea the place would be packed at 7PM. So, I got in 30 min of cardio treadmill work done. I had thought to go in tomorrow and get some more treadmill time, but after the pains of this evening, I'm having second thoughts.
I wandered over to Staples to see if they had any decent shredders. They did, but the larger ones were quite expensive. As in well over $100. Eep!
Costco was my next hope for a shredder. I got the same model as the last one. Maybe I shouldn't since the old one kinda died. It doesn't want to shred because it thinks the drawer isn't in. I couldn't wait any longer. I have tons and tons of statements and bills that need to be disposed of. I had Costco pizza for lunch with some non-fat frozen yogurt. It was so nice to get to eat pizza again. I dearly love pizza and have missed it over these weeks of yuckness.
Off to the salon to get a manicure/pedicure. The little Asian lady did a nice job.. It's a shame I messed my fingernails up when I got home. But it was nice to have some pampering after all this stress, trauma and worry about what's up with my innerds. My hands are painted in a bright fuschia. My toes are a bright red with little flowers leaves and vines.
It was finally time to pick up the kids and they looked pretty glad to see me. Little faces staring intentely at me from a wire cage across the room. They look much better and smell nice, too! I had no idea people take their dogs in every two weeks to get groomed. Wow! That would get expensive. Once every other month seems fine to me. I can bathe them and brush them, but the clipping, trimming and such are just too much.
While on the way home from the groomers, I started getting some pretty bad pains in my mid-right abdomen. By the time I got home and got the kids out of their travel kennel, the pains were coming swift and getting worse. It got to the point where I couldn't stand up, couldn't lie down and could sit sit kinda hunched over. No deep breaths, no talking, just grunts here and there. At one point I nearly called my Dr, but since it was after 5, I figured he'd tell me to go to Urgent Care or something (it's in my head, remember?). The pains were getting my anxiety to ramp up, so I took a klonopin and it knocked me out. A couple of hours later and I was feeling much better. Still a bit crampy, but at least I can sit straight again. Unfortunately, I screwed up my nail polish but getting it mashed into my hair somehow. Oh well, it prolly won't last long, anyway.
So I made the mistake of venturing to the mall today, to try and return a few things I got yesterday, and to get my nails done. I don't think i've ever seen it this crowded before, not even for last minute christmas shopping. Trying to find a parking spot was a nightmare, and walking around inside was insane, I don't know what I was thinking when I said "lets go to the mall"
My nails are all pretty now, its kind of funny how a year ago, I had no nails... just bitten down nubs.. and now I have nails that I can actually get done, and they look nice too. Its sorta exciting in a dorky way. 
I think the rest of today is going to be spent under my heated blanket in bed, with a book and junk food.
