Personalized License Plates

Ok, I really don't have a right to complain about this....seriously. If you want to throw away perfectly good money just to have a vanity plate on your car, that's your choice. I shouldn't knock you for it. But for the life of me...if you're going to do that, at least entertain me with it. I hate having to sit there wondering what the heck you're trying to say and then once I figure it out, feel utterly depressed and uninspired because your message is lame. Not to mention, the tons of plates I can't figure out do nothing but infuriate me while I stare helplessly at your plate.

I remember there was this one lady who's car plate had something on it and all I could figure out was "wave"...so I asked her about it finally because I couldn't figure out what the rest of it was (it was long ago, I have since forgotten what the plate originally said completely)...she told me that it was a specific type of weaving that was complicated to do, but she did it. I was pretty unimpressed with that. Why someone that lives in a run down apartment with an old dinged up car, feel it necessary to spend money on a personalized plate that NO ONE (and she told me no one has ever figured it out) could figure out and it was about stupid weaving. LOL Well, priorities, I guess.

Breakouts and Waxing

Do you ever break out after a wax?

I have heard all sorts of ways to fix this, from icing and witch hazel to timing your waxes and all I'm wondering, what REALLY works?

I tried the timing thing and so far, that's really gave me some results. I heard, if you time them to be exactly 3 weeks apart, you will no longer break out. By the 6th week, I had relatively NO break out after my wax. I went 5 weeks between that wax and this next and it was break out city.

I think that sucks, personally. You are damned if you do, damned if you don't really. Get your wax to get rid of the hair and you get a zit in almost every place a hair was...don't, and you're a hairy monster.

WHAT TO DO?

The Bee Tree

IWhen I was 9 or 10, my brother used to work the neighborhood paper route with his best friend (and total hottie) that I had a mad crush on. I remember trying to impress him (keep in mind of my age) by showing him that I could lay on my back and prop my butt up in the air to do air bicycle exercises. Ok, keep laughing...because it gets better. As I'm doing this, some bee flying by decides that it doesn't like my feet in the air and lands on my foot and stings me (this always creates fun trivia about my life...I tell people that I was stung on the bottom of my foot but I didn't step on a bee, how did I get stung? Many a person has wasted entirely too much brain power to figure out...LOL). My foot got so swollen...almost three times its size. My Mom was freaking out because the swelling wouldn't go down, leaving my foot in water with epson salt for about 2 hours.

Now, I'm wondering....am I allergic to bees? I've seen people get stung. I've never seen them get swollen like I did. How do you find out if you're allergic unless you get stung?

Regardless, now I have this deep inset fear of bees and when I do my walk in the morning, I go under this huge weeping willow tree that is INFESTED with bees. It's so bad that when you're about 30 feet away from it, you can hear the buzzing...and that continues until you're on the other side of it and walking away another 30 feet or so. I get so scared to walk under the tree.

Last year, one of the bees from that tree landed on my daughter's cheek. I went ape trying to get that thing off of her. I have a funny story about that too. I must have looked like a freak.

I
Hate
Bees.
