Aaaaaaaack... bathing suits.

Yesterday went well. Baby got her hair cut and loves it. She was grinning from ear to ear while the lady was cutting it. Too funny. Then we stopped by and visited with family and picked up a hot wax machine from hell.... I'll tell you about that in just a second.... Then we picked up McDonalds for lunch. I know, I know... but its a treat for the girls and I ordered one of the salads and only ate half of it. So it wasn't too much of a no-no. I did end up with two things of french fries in my purse when we went to the movies (shhhhhhh). The girls weren't done eating yet and I wasn't about to fork over $10 more dollars for popcorn that I would inevitably eat myself ! The best part about living in the country is that you can go to the movies at noon and have the whole place to yourself. So no one was bothered by the smell of McD's french fries during the movie! We saw Aliens in the Attic. It was a pretty good movie. The girls loved it.

When we got home the girls got their new Pj's on and went to watch a movie while I took out the borrowed hot wax machine from hell. Now, we are going to the city next weekend for two days of swimming and I desperately needed to wax my legs... but I hate paying so much to do it. When I found out my aunt had one, I figured I would just do it myself.

That was a hell I would not wish on my enemy. Putting the warm wax on, a little patch at a time, wasn't too bad. Putting the little strip of cloth on said wax and rubbing it down wasn't too bad. Grabbing the bottom corner of that cloth and ripping the wax and hair off my legs.... hurt like a *$&#^%&^$*#^@!!!!! At one point I had to make myself count to 3, just to make myself do it. Of course, the thought of going swimming with a piece of cloth hot waxed to my leg was tempting too. Towards the end I had missed some spots but could not take it anymore and figured I would just shave the missed areas. LOL They do look pretty good this morning and might take the wax out to do the touch up.... *sigh*... what a girl goes through to look good in a bathing suit.

Speaking of suits... I have not put on a bathing suit in over a year. I'm not even sure if they fit. So I just took a minute to go try them on. I had to throw 4 of them away because they were so stretched out, but here is a bathing suit I bought last year that was WAY too tight and a bathing suit cover I haven't been able to zip up in 9 years..... (I played with the coloring so that you didn't get blinded by the whiteness!!)

Ok, so I'm pretty excited to finally look good in a bathing suit! I'm almost ready for that tattoo...
