Bimbos unite!

[clslvr6spd]

I just got back from seeing WALL-E. OMG, it was soo cute & pretty funny too. I thinks it is a def go see!

I am nearly going to barf from eating too much popcorn.

The hubby actually works on the 4th, so I guess I will just have my mom over and wine it up!

Not too much though, I have to go to school the next day (I hate having school on Saturdays.)

And, they tasted great. Plus, he did clean up...good boy. I worked earlier, gonna chill tonight cause tomorrow I will start working on my schedule/ideas/business plan for 2009...ughhh

It really doesnt hurt when they do it, just afterwards. but seriously....wait til your hair is pretty long. Because I think part of the reason she had to keep going over the areas was because the wax wouldnt grab my short hairs.

And my whole reason for doing it was because I have that 5 o clock shadow even when my pitts are freshly shaved and smooth. and I STILL have the shadow. Im about to take drastic measures lol

Yum...I had a burger tonight too. It was sooo good

BBQ food is the best...especially when u dont have to cook or clean after it

Oh girl...I have been bent over doggy style in front of waxers....and one of whom works with me and I see her all the time...haha awkward?? Well maybe a little but its cool---she sees it all the time! Your body is probably no different than the other womans bodies she sees everyday. If you didnt have nasty long underarm hair, she wouldnt have a job! My girl told me to not shave and wear a long t shirt that covers at least my pits. but I didnt listen lol. My hair grows back fast tho, id probably only wait like 5 or 6 days and itd be long enough to wax.

I could probably wax at home...waxing yourself can suck though. I feel like someone else can usualyl do it better, But i trust no one but myself with my eyebrows. I like to wax my brows, my lip and my belly myself (haha) and someone else can do the pitts and my *cookie*

I really WANT to b/c I like how they look. but after golly how many years of wearing sneakers and flipflops and even dress shoes with a chunky heel, i cannot walk in high heels! i found a pair at payless a couple months ago (in anticipation of full time work after my exams) for only $9, so I bought them (they are under 2", but I don't look funny in them...hallelujah!) but my issue with any heels above 2" (which are the majority of heels as I don't want kitten slides) is that i walk funny like I slightly bend at the knees so I look all stiff. gosh this is so hard to explain....I'm not quite articulate about it. i wonder if i keep trying (ie carry the shoes to work, wear them at work but have another pair if it hurts/ whatnot) itll get better? or are there just some women who look like funky chickens in heels??

omg I know exactly what you mean about the whole bending at the knees thing. i used to do that haha. I just say practice makes perfect. if u keep doing it you'll get better at it. You know what I like more then stripper heels? Is boots with a heel. because you feel so much more sturdy....I have ran across the halls in my school in 3/4 inch winter boots without even tripping at all....just keep practicing girl, thats how we all get better

Has anyone noticed when you have new heels and you start walking around on your carpet it's DEATH! I swear I have nearly slipped a few times, lol.

haha u are so right. Funny story? Wednesday i hung out with my friend and she wore heels, and tripped in front ofthe guys we were seeing AND tripped in the diner. The second time she tried to blame it on the slippery floor. And we got into an argument because she tried to tell me that she could walk way better in heels then i ever could....YEAH RIGHT, but u tripped twice?? She doesnt look funny when she wears them, but if u are going to stumble, put the flip flops on and call it a day. Because you lost. And she used to trip in heels a few years back as well. You know how you just trip? She gets on my damn nerves, that girl. please, dont wear heels in public if u are just going to be embarrassed when someone calls you out for tripping.

 

[KikiB]

Oh so true-I actually used to wear heels all the time. Back in the 7th grade, I remember that my mum and I went to Value Village because I had to get a skirt (at the time, ew) for my 7th grade choir musical. Well it was the 50% off everything weekend so I got three pairs of heels-a pair of navy blue smocked 4.5" heels, some Candie's 3.5" chunky heels (which are way cute, and if I broke them out they'd be fashionable today), and then a pair of black penny-loafers...with chunky 4" heel. I rocked the latter of the three to the point where it wore out completely. I would even walk home from school in my heels-I only wore flats for the first two trimesters during gym. Otherwise, heels and platforms all the way. Then I had track during the spring and that was when the conversion started. I couldn't wear heels at the high school since everything is so spread out and I have to go up and down steep hills to my bus stop. Berk!

Now though, I can barely walk a few blocks in heels. I am working on it though-I'm going to start out by wearing my heels to work on shorter days and then progress up to more normal wear.

 

[Sanayhs]

I'm so tired. AUGH. But I can't get back to sleep. My jerk boyfriend sets his alarm over and over so he can nap a bit more, but it means the alarm goes off at least 3 times, and after that there is NO way I am getting back to sleep. Not fair!

Anyhow. I like shiny things.

 

[KikiB]

Oooh me too

I was able to get all of oh, two hours of sleep. Then I woke up because I left my blinds open and its sunny...natural alarm clock I would say. And my brother is trying to get a chest of drawers into his room and it is so f'ing annoying because it sounds like he is about to bust my door down any minute.

 

[purrtykitty]

Hi everyone! I'm temporarily back from the 1800s. A HUGE storm hit Omaha on Friday afternoon (surprise, right?) and we've been without power ever since. There were 70 to 90 mile per hour sustained winds. It seriously looked like a hurricane was hitting. The sounded the tornado sirens, but so far, no official word there was one (although there are some people claiming they saw one, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case). I got so scared when the storm hit, I grabbed the cats and headed for the basement. Fortunately no damage for us, but our neighborhood suffered tree damage in the form of large limbs down, etc. I walked around my friend's neighborhood on Saturday and there was even more extensive damage there. Large tree limbs down, house damage and I've also seen a few trees uprooted around the metro area as well.

It's not been all bad - it's made for pretty good, productive study time. Plus, we have a generator so we run that every so often to ensure the fridge stays cold and we watch a little TV. But no internet.

At least the weather's been very nice - not hot at all. That would really suck because without power = no air conditioning (and our generator is not nearly powerful enough to hook the A/C up). It's supposed to be hot on Wednesday, so we're hoping power will be restored by then, but officials are saying it could be Saturday before everyone is back up again.

At one point there were over 125,000 without power. Now it's down to 36,000 or so. Anyhoo, I'm glad to be able to catch up here a little bit!

I'm glad to hear everyone is well again. I've got to go back to studying and it may be a day or so before I'm able to check in again. Talk at everyone later!!

Studying is going well. I took my first simulated exam on Saturday and I scored about where I should be. I'm starting to feel better about the up coming exam, but I still have A LOT of progress to make! I've been working out OK, too. 3 times last week, which I think is pretty good for just starting back. I went yesterday and I'm sitting here in Panera in my gym clothes because I'm headed to they gym after a little studying.

I'm 5'9" too and I love me some heels!! But, yeah...gotta watch out for slick soles on carpet - or even blacktop. I've been known to almost lose it walking on slick pavement!

I'm glad to hear you like WALL-E! DH and I really want to see that. Emotive robots = CUTE!! Everytime we'd see a commercial for WALL-E, we'd go, "Awwww!"

 

[KikiB]

Wow that sucks! We're lucky in that all we get really are earthquakes...but no AC when it gets hot would be bad. I mean here in Seattle, 80 is considered hot and 90 is a scorcher. We don't have AC-just ceiling fans.

 

[Sanayhs]

I have three ceiling fans throughout my place! Our weather is all over the place. Fog, rain, sun, you name it - and it can all happen within one afternoon. I felt an earthquake once when I was living in Montreal, which was pretty wacky. Once I figured out what it was, I got really excited. Ha! At first I thought I might just be shaking, as that happens. I get hopped up on asthma meds and shake like crazy, plus I was a hardcore insomniac in those days. Anyhow, it was quite the novelty for me.

 

[purrtykitty]

I've rejoined the Modern Era!! Power was restored today - happy happy, joy joy!! I absolutely love ceiling fans. We've also got three in our house and we run them pretty frequently. They really help those days when it's not too hot out, but there isn't much of a breeze. Without them, we'd run the A/C more often and that's just too darn expensive.

 

[KikiB]

We have four-one in each bedroom and then one in the entryway. They are a lifesaver. Now it's warm but with a nice simulated breeze going...but I just got back from the beach where it was hot, so I got sweaty, and I doused myself in Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil, and busses are hot and just sitting will make your legs sweat...Time will tell though if I got a really good tan, or if I really burnt. I hope it is not the second one.

Glad to see you back purrtykitty! We missed you!

Thanks! I feel like I missed so much. It's absolutely ridiculous how dependent we (as a nation) have become on modern electronics and how much we take electricity for granted. We were only without power for 2 1/2 days, but we just felt so disabled because much of what we do is connected to power. We couldn't cook because we have an electric range and microwave. No laundry, etc... Once the sun went down our only source of light was candles...ahh, those romantic candlelit Taco Bell dinners, lol!

We've been blaming Al Gore for all this bad weather (ya know, since he invented Global Warming, lol). Never in my life have I experience this many severe storms in one season (and it ain't over, yet) - and I've lived here all my life!

 

[elegant-one]

^^^DH & I were just talking about that very subject at dinner tonight. We've talked a lot about getting a generator. But then even if we had power, chances are there still wouldn't be any internet. Ah, I really wouldn't mind NOT being able to cook

BTW - anyone see South Parks take on no internet...funnnnny!

Purrtykitty - I'm so glad you're back here too

Hilarious episode!! I love South Park, no matter how inappropriate it is!

The generator is great if not for the single reason that we could plug our fridge in. The news said everything in the fridge/freezer has to be tossed after 48 hours with no power. If we didn't have the generator, we'd have lost an entire fridge/freezer of food. Plus, it was great for plugging the TV into and watching it a bit. Cable didn't go out, so I suppose we could have drug the wireless internet up and plugged it in, but that wasn't worth the effort. Plus, the more things plugged in, the quicker you run through gas.

 

[KikiB]

We are considering getting a generator too because a year and a half ago there was this HUGE windstorm that knocked out power in the area. We were without for 15 hours but some people were without for a week. I agree though, we all rely on electricity way too much.

OMG...us too....BIG time!

We even buy the DVD sets by seasons so we can hear Matt & Treys commentary

 

[KikiB]

I've only seen one episode of South Park in my life. Seriously!

I'm not too far ahead of you here. I have seen a handful of episodes, but only when people I know have sat me down to watch them.

 

[KikiB]

Well I was never allowed to watch it when I was younger and I never really watched Comedy Central until this time last year when I started watching Daily Show/Colbert. My parents sheltered me a lot and well, they still do, but less so than before.

Oh and so far, no sunburn. Phew.
