Peachy Keen Jelly Bean

Gr, I had some trauma yesterday, let me tell you.... It is actually quiet humorous now that it is over. I went to go get my eyebrows waxed during one of my breaks yesterday, which usually takes ten minutes including the drive. This was not the case. I get in there and this eight month pregnant woman asks if she can do it, as my usual lady is busy with a set of nails. Shame on me for not making an appointment!

So she does the first swipe no problem, put the wax on, yank the wax off and out comes the unwanted hairs right? Well as she was going for her second gooping of hot wax onto my face, I see this glob fall beside my face , and I feel it burn my scalp. That's right folks, she put hair removing wax into my Long (about two foot) blonde hair, natural in color of course.) she about panicked and apologized, and said "oh don't worry it will come right out with acetone... ACETONE.... In my hair? She must be nuts, this glossy natural shine does not come easily! But okay, I didn't know how else to get it out. So she finishes that eye without any further incident, and moves on to my left one, where she proceeds to drop a huge glob of hot wax right in the middle of my eye lid, Thank God my eye was closed. Well my first instinct was to open my eye, where it promptly stuck open due to the hot wax acting as a bonding agent.... She says "oh, oh don't worry that will come right off with this wax off cream.... Little did she know it is also make up off cream..... So now I have wax in my hair and make up on only one eye, so I look like a freak.... Then as she is attempting to remove the wax from my hair with acetone, I am inhaling it as it is right next to my face, that was fun!

Well she didn't want to "hurt me" so she asked if I wanted to try to remove it, I said no your not going to hurt me. Well she insisted I try, and by this time I am getting pretty pissed off, so I grabbed the rag and began rubbing this glob of hardened hair removal wax located just above my earlobe... Not making the connection that acetone is nail polish remover. When I am frustrated to the point I probably would have biotch slapped the woman if she wasn't pregnant, that this wax was not coming out, I handed her the rag and said that will have to do, I have to go back to work. Only to look down and discover, that my beautiful French manicured nails, (with an irredescent pink pearl base), the first set of nails I have had put on in a year, were completely ruined.

Now I was boiling hot! I looked at her, and said do you think you could fix this. Well of course they do not have airbrush, so the French manicure is out, so she painted them pink, as shades of pink were the only colors I had to choose from. So now I have wax in my hair, eye make up on only one eye, red eye brows (not so bad when that is all we are dealing with) and pink finger nails instead of my $35 dollar set of beautiful French manicure. Then she still had the nerve to charge me five dollars for the wax job..,.. I will never go there again! Needless to say, I had to go to the house to get my face fixed, and at least some of the wax out of my hair... You know what worked? Clinique eye make up remover... I love clinique.

I know yall really want me to get to the good stuff, the forbidden fruit. Well I am going to take it slow, keep it discrete, and hope that it works out! I enjoy being around him... His very presence makes me smile. I shant kiss and tell though, so you will have to read next time, perhaps when there is more to tell! Really nothing to disclose at this point!

I have registered for my classes at UF, and even got my Gator one card (my UF id card) So it is official... I also ordered my cap and gown, so that I could walk in December. I need to go and purchase my Phi Theta Kappa paraphernalia, but last time I went there was noone in the office to sell it to me.... And I am not off during the day very often. Very aggravating. I still have not told the other guy. We have drifted apart almost naturally, but I think he is still trying to hold on. He has my camera and my Passion of the Christ movie, so I am almost afraid to break it off until I get my things back. I feel bad, but I can't help that I am not attracted to him, and he can't help that he is not a gentleman. I will hopefully get over there before I have to work tonight and get my stuff, then perhaps break the news. I hate endings, they are never smooth, someone always gets hurt, this is why I don't get attached, why I try to stay at an arms length. This is why the forbidden fruit scares the shit out of me. I want him to call, I like it when he walks in a room... It immediately brightens my day. I don't like not being able to control how I feel. I usually could care less if a man calls or not. It just doesn't phase me. Now if I am in a relationship (oh the r word) and he says I'll call you tomorrow, then he better call, or I am gonna be ticked. Don't say your gonna do something and then don't do it... If you don't know, don't say it... (then if you call I am pleasantly surprised...) but other than that if he calls great if not great... If I see him great, if not I have a ton of other shit I need to do anyways. Everything is different with him. I knew the first time I saw him that I liked him, and the more time I spent around him the stronger the feeling got. God, I did not want to like him.... I tried not liking him... I tried ignoring him.... Nothing worked.... This is sooooo not cool...

For those of you who don't know me, and even for some of those who do (ahem Bonnie) forbidden fruit does not mean married! He is unequivocally single! I would never do married!

well I have not been able to update lately due to some serious pc problems. My damned computer will not allow me to update after I have logged in, if freezes on the dashboard page.... Same thing with my email, it freezes on my inbox... Can't even read my mail..... Larry, help!

I had a wonderful evening with Larry last weekend, after a day of house hunting and couch shopping... That is a whole other story, we went to play pool, and Larry got TOASTED! This does not happen often, so it was quiet humorous! Very fun times! He is hilarious when drunk! I have foot prints on my windshield!

Well I had a lot to update since I am locked out of my pc.... Life is going pretty good right now! I got a 92 on my last Trig test... So if I get a 93 on the next one, I will have a 90 in the class and may be exempt from the final exam.... Whew hoo, and my 4.0 will stay in tact for graduation!

Well readers, friends, and strangers, I am happy to share this rather lengthy but happy update. I meant the rant about the waxing to be a laughing matter for yall, for me it was rough, but I smile about it now! I will update again soon, hopefully from my very own pc... Until then take care!

I so would have freaked out if that wax situation happened to me. This is why I do not get my eye brows waxed.
