Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also, it's snowed a little bit every day for the last week. not much accumulation, but no relief. These are definitely that dog days of winter. The days it's best to go elsewhere.
Ugh. Thank goodness it's been sunny here this week. It was killing me.
I've had a headache ever since taking my car in for emissions. It's annoying. Only would relent when I dove under 3 ft, which is usually the reverse when it is sinus crap, so I don't know. Meh. I'm not going anywhere tonight.
I don't have to get up early tomorrow! For lo, I am on vacation!
I made myself dinner - some ravioli with a light tomato garlic sauce and some veggies. I've had maybe 3 bites and I'm pretty much done. WTF?
And, it looks like I need to work an hour or two tomorrow. Stoooopid checking work e-mail on the weekend and finding an e-mail request from my favorite project manager.
I have to go in to work tomorrow. I am not happy about this.
Oof, sorry about all those of you who have to work the weekend!
I just went and (thanks to Groupon) had my very first laser hair removal. OUCH OUCH OUCH. I think that hurt worse than my tattoo.
Are the results worth the pain, meara?
I don't know yet, Cash! You have to go for five or six sessions (every 2-3 months, depending on where it is--apparently face/head hair grows quicker than the rest of the body?) before they'll guarantee no hair (the place I went gives you a year of "if you see a hair, come in and we'll do it free" after that).
So, give me a week or two--I'll be interested to see what happens--and then give me a few more sessions. But generally, it's something I've been considering a long time and never got around to doing (I figure I have great hair/skin for it--dark hair, pale skin). I'm excited at the thought of never having to shave again...but I think the price is way too much without a groupon.
Are the results worth the pain, meara?
I had it some years ago and can comment. It feels like a snapped rubber band; the pain will be less intense on subsequent sessions. I should say you shouldn't expect 100% removal. If you imagine each session removes about 30% of the hair, the diminishing returns make it too expensive to get them all removed.
Belated Happy Birthdays, Pix and Maria!
