That was scary - snow outside, the vcr shorting out the tv, half the cable channels out of commission, the other half running on about Iraq (so what), and then DSL went down. What next, no phone? What am I supposed to do, read?

I got my hair cut yesterday - and came up with brilliant idea of having my face waxed at the same time so I wouldn't have to shave on vacation. It seemed like an idea, and someone once told me wax is not as bad as tweezing. It didn't hurt much, but my face did not like it. It is retaliating. Red skin, scabs, and a lovely assortment of whiteheads now greet me in the mirror. Mental note - shaving better than waxing.

I now have a deepthroat icon - hope it's work-safe.

Yep, I've had to give up waxing except for legs and eyebrows. Too harsh on my skin. Did you ever look into the laser thing?

Well...if you get that bored you can always come over. I have crayons...and paper...lol. And two tvs with vcr/dvd combos.

Waxing is tough. I get parts of my face waxed...you shouldn't have SCABS though. Go to Elizabeth Arden in Pentagon Row...ask for Yogitha. She is good. You'll always get red until your face is accustomed to it. but the redness should go away after a few hours. It shouldn't be red for a few days (and yes...had my chin done--those random hairs Greek women get there are annoying...and it was red the first time for a few hours). You shouldn't be breaking out into whiteheads either.

Where did you go to get waxed honey? I've broken into hives before from dirty wax/too hot wax. On occasion I'll get bumps that last a day or two (benzoyl peroxide clears'em up in a few days). Just don't exfoliate for a few days after. Let your skin heal...and moisturize ;)
