Alright!
I have done it!
I have made an appointment, for 6:00 this very evening, for a waxing.
Down there.
(oh yes, down *there*)
Being that I am a first timer I am pretty anxious and it's my selfish hope that of the few non-recessive genes that I have in my aresenal, "high threshold to pain" is one of them. Still, even with the hope of manageable pain, I am terrified. Let's be honest here though, given what I am about to submit my delicate bits to, I would say my terror is **completely justifiable**. (Teebs, please, this is NOT the time to play your your "oh, I'll give you pain, Miss I- never just went thru 48.5 hours of labor, you sorry, whiny little scud. Go thru that - THEN we'll talk." card. Yeah, not always about you.)
If for some reason, I do not come out on the other end ...er, side...er Christ, I mean, IF I DON'T MAKE IT, it was lovely knowing all of you.
However, if I do in fact make it out alive (with a bag a frozen peas? whu? too soon?) I will be sure to post my tale of woe.
(Yeah, I know, I know. Aint you a lucky bunch.)
...Okay, now where did I put that bottle of Advil?...
Wow, yes, please share. I've never been brave enough, so I'd love to hear all the, uhhhh.... "gory" details.

waahoo. Anyone who comes in contact with the "after" version (and let's not hope that's too many people) will LOVE it.
Honestly the first time hurts a bit, but after that eh. not too bad. Too me, the scariest part was having to show all the ba-hoo-haa off to this skinny barbie of a girl.

My niece refers to this part of the body as "the oochie cooch" (for some reason she says it with a whisp of an adorbale southern accent - strange given she's from/lives by Cape Cod). Love that so much that I am toying of the idea of using that term at the ladeedah Aveda salon.

Okay, I'm GOING now.... sure I can't get anyone anything? maybe I can do a report for someone? maybe listen to you talk about your problems? I'm a good listener. are you surrrre? I can stay here and type something up if you need me to. I'm awfully good at that. Except that maybe I am not a very good typist, but otherwise, ya know, helpful.

Ha! And I used to wax my own bikini line too.
The good news is it's over fast.
