Moo

I feel like a cow right now. Seriously. I don't know what's up with my body but I have had mega cramping all night long and I feel like my stomach is bloated to twice it's normal size. I had my little visitor last week..so it can't be that. Actually speaking of the "little visitor"---(cover your eyes guys...you don't want to hear about this)---I have been seeing less and less of Aunt Flo lately. I guess it's the effects of the IUD finally...but it's really weird. When that week comes around, I usually just have the teensyist bit of pink here and there but no need for any kind of paper-goods. That lasts for a week or so and then I'm done. So weird. I mean...in the tiniest corner in the furthest back compartment of my mind, I think about the possibility of being prego...but then I remind myself that I am and have always been SUPER paranoid about that and it's never true. (well, twice it was true...but that's all! ha ha) It's so foreign to me when women say that they never even thought about the fact that they could be pregnant when they are having nausea and sore boobs and are sleepy...etc. Every single time I get nauseous...that is the first thought in my mind. (and I didn't even have morning sickness so that's really goofy). Usually if my chest is sore, it's from doing too many push-ups the night before...but still, I always think, "what if?" Anyway, I don't know what's up with me tonight. I am wearing a pair of shorts right now that are my baggy pants. The ones I always save for when I feel extra-fluffy..and even they feel tight tonight. Yuck! Plus the cramping is weird too. Who knows?!?
So, to change the subject...have any of you ladies ever thought about laser hair removal? Obviously with summer here now...we are all digging out our swimsuits and that dreaded shaving ritual has to be done again. We had a cookout/swim party for our Sunday School class on Saturday and I did the "swimsuit shave" (if you don't know what I am talking about...see the post I did in July of 2006 titled "All kinds of smooth"). Well, now today, 3 days later...I am paying for it with little red ingrown hairs EVERYwhere! Ouch! So..the new thing I hear about on the radio all the time is Laser Hair Removal---and I am thinking about looking into it! I have no idea whatsoever about what it costs...but just imagine...no more shaving "there" anymore?!! Woohoo! I just hope they have a payment plan! ha ha
Another thing I am considering: getting my lips tatooed!! I know that sounds crazy---BUT---when I went to my friend, Keri's, wedding last weekend, I ran into an old friend who looked GORGEOUS. She started telling me that she'd gotten her make up tatooed on by this lady (a doctor) in the city at a big hospital and that it was the best thing she ever did. She actually got her eyeliner (upper and lower lids) done, her eyebrows and her lipliner and lipstick and it only cost $900 for all of it. All I want to do is the lips. She got this color done that was just called "natural" which is what I would want to. It's basically your natural lip color just a little darker than normal--and maybe just a bit pinker. Most of you probably already know...but I am a lipstick ADDICT. Majorly. I've never met anyone who wears lipstick more than I do. I put it on probably 10-20 times a day and even before I go to bed at night! It's partially because I HATE the way I look without it...but also because I've gotten used to my lips always having something on them making them moist and now I can't STAND for them to be dry. If I wake up in the middle of the night and my lips feel dry..I will actually get out of bed and get some Soft Lips to put on. So what do ya'll think? Do you think that is crazy? Do you know anyone who has done either of these things (the laser hair removal or make-up tatooing)??
Okay, well, I guess I better get off here. Matt just came by and saw that I was blogging instead of working and he made me feel guilty. (shame shame on me..I do have lots of work to do--but that's not nearly as much fun as gabbing about this stuff! :o)
Goodnight!
