I hate wearing socks winter or summer, so I'm definitely not a fan of pantyhose or leggings. However, this means that my feet are nasty and I literally used my husband's sander to smooth down my heels. Worked awesomely!

I'm not a girly girl but I get my eyebrows waxed professionally and it makes a HUGE difference in my face. A good eyebrow waxer is an amazing find. Esp. when they don't make the eyebrows way too thin.

I've tried for years to wax/pluck my own eyebrows, but they never look the same--right one, OK and semi nicely arched, left one, totally straight and thin and too short. Looks like I had a seizure on the left side of my body.

I hate making small talk at any salon-type environment (haircuts once a year? yes) but I make myself go for the brows.

Does threading hurt worse than waxing?

The wax ripping out the hair hurts (at least the under portion) but it's when they're plucking out those stray hairs with the tweezers that I want to cry

there's a cool hoodoo trick where you pound bricks into dust and then pour the dust out in a line in front of doorways so your enemies can't pass. do that at all family gatherings imo

So far my new black Friday peacoat is the bright spot of this month. It's been a lovely month of bad news. Maybe I'll stay off Facebook until January so I don't feel the urge to punch another happy person in the face.

My hair is just really wavy and thick instead of outright curly, but I've had good luck with a short bob-type haircut (no idea if there's an official name for this). Any length past my chin or so just turns into a frizzy uncontrollable rat's nest.

Yes! Right now it's in the frizz phase. Even thought I've been using the fancy argan oil (though not religiously I admit)

I asked my husband what he thought about the Tasha Yar season 1 Star Trek TNG look and he vetoed it. What's not to like about a late 80s hairstyle?

I tend to go for tall, lanky types, but I'd be lying if I said the soccer bodies weren't nice to look at.

Boyfriend's mom is on her way back to Ohio, and all's right with the world.

And I think we can agree that bra shopping sucks no matter your size. I'm a 36C, which means I can find bras anywhere. However, it's extremely frustrating when I go to the store and every single bra I pull out has at least an inch of padding/push-up in it. A C-cup is big enough on it's own, drat it.

Yes! When you wear a 36D you just want the bewbs to be held up nicely. You don't need a bunch of molded rubber.

And I don't remember this, but the last thing I asked my surgeon before they put me to sleep was if he could take pictures of me during the surgery. It's REALLY creepy seeing pictures of your own face peeled halfway off your skull. I asked him to e-mail me the pictures, they are actually p. cool if you can get past the gore.


That's awesome! I wish I would have done this before my gastric bypass.

Also, mind if I ask how you researched having surgery outside the US? (assuming you're an American) I'm losing a lot of weight and that's leaving lots of skin (gross) but plastic surgery in the US is too expensive. I could never afford it.

Will do. When I get going on it (the whole project), I think I'm gonna start a thread in DIY & Hobbies for motivation. I should be hopefully getting my permit in a couple of weeks and then I'll be able to break ground. The doors I'm making in a shop class at my local community college so it'll be over the next four months.

Dildo chat: The glass ones I've seen are really neat and look like works of art tho' I think it's still obvious what they are.

Please do start that thread! I would love to read it. Are you pouring the foundation and everything?

Lately I go to Young House Love, then Apt. Therapy. But I don't understand doing a time-consuming "mini renovation" a couple years before the real renovation (talking about young house love).

Some things you gotta hire out, though. Like xeriscaping the back yard. Totally worth paying someone to move dirt and haul rocks. That is HARD WORK.

I got paperwhites as a gift and those were impossible to kill, but for some reason they stank, so I put them on the porch to die a cold wintry death.

All other plants inside this house usually die. And the leaves mysteriously have teeth marks in them. But cat teeth can't kill plants, can they?

Even when I plant the most xeriscape-friendly, drought-resistant plants outside (we live in a semi-mountainy climate), half of them die! Even the ones I see everywhere growing as weeks. Guess I'm just lucky!

Epic.

Re. business casual, could you wear cords for pants? Assuming you live in a place that has winters. I'm fortunate to work at a place where jeans are OK, though when the creative dudes wear super worn jeans with holes in the knees and ironic tees, I say they're pushing it too far. Oh, and flip flops, but that's basically the law in Colorado.

I went to Ulta today--with my husband, poor guy. I got my tarte blush stick stain thing. Makes it easy to do your makeup in the car on the way to the office!
