Girly

Published by at 3:10 pm under City Life,Random Thoughts

Well, I am just exhausted.

First, I did my little bit to improve the economy, buying a bottle or few of wine and Calvados. The recycling bin is very happy. It has fancyass tastes and is somewhat greedy. I think we’ve been spending too much time together.

Then, I did my little bit to improve Me, having all my nails done and my eyebrows waxed and so on. Being a girl is just so much work. It seems like I’m always dyeing my hair, having it cut, washing it, styling it, putting on make-up and accessories, taking them off again, waxing, shaving, tweezing, perfuming, manicuring, pedicuring (though not curing cancer or any of my many less attractive character flaws).

Men always bitch about having to shave their teeny little faces (and I don’t know many who actually do it every day), but that’s nothing compared to the acres we girls have to shave. And just think how bad it must be if you’re a transvestite. All the girl work and all the boy work. Not to mention having to find size 12 stilettos.

Woman’s work really never is done, is it?

    Nope. Ironically, I was just thinking about how much I didn’t feel like shaving my legs. . . I think you have summarized it perfectly.

    All this talk makes me want to go for a spa day!

    Hey girl, you might want to consider being happy about having to shave! If you are shaving, it means you have hair and that means you have plenty of estrogen and progestoren and womanly juices running through your body! Someday, your skin will lose it’s bounce and tone, your hair will get patchy and thin and you will find your razor at the bottom of a drawer and get all nostalgic for those youthful days when you needed to shave!!

    Lmao, Suzy, you crack me up!

    I’m very glad to hear that you’re helping the economy. I say the same thing to Aimee when she spends hundreds of dollars in the same clothes store nearly every week. (Sorry, Aimee!)
