Ripping out my hair

Wow, it's been one helluva week. It flew by and I know without a doubt that this one will drag by. Why you ask? Because this time next week I should be drunk off my ass. How is that different from any other weekend you ask. Well...because next week it will be on a ship and it will cost a whole heck of a lot more than my home mixed rum and cokes. Yes folks, that's right next week I leave for my cruise. WOOHOO. I'm just having a few minor issues as I prepare to leave. There is lots to be done to summerfy myself for the trip. The one I'm dreading most is the waxing. I figure given my propensity to clumsiness (I shaved off a 1 inch flap of skin in Japan and that was just because I was thrown off by the low shower head) that me and a razor maybe shouldn't get in the shower together on a boat. I'm just sayin.

How much does one tip the lady who rips the hair out of sensitive areas? For the record, I'm getting my legs, armpits, eyebrows and yes binkini done. I'm thinking about just putting on a little rubber head condom, rolling around in the wax, wrapping myself in a towel and having Chris yank it really hard, rolling me out of it all magic looking and then I'll be totally hairless. That should be cheaper right?

Oh, funny thing about planning on getting your legs waxed is that if you decide not to shave for a week or more just because you're lazy and then realize that if you shave now, your hair might not be long enough to rip out so you can't shave, you just might scare your husband when you put on shorts and he thinks you are wearing tights.

I'm convinced that I can see some gray hair in the roots on the crown of my head. Not a huge problem since I haven't been my natural color in oh...6 years. I'm getting it colored on Wednesday and I'm very afraid for Rudy to tell me that there is indeed some gray there and now we'll have use hair dye for blue hair people and well...I'm old. It's not true, but whatever.

Have ya'll heard about all of the cruise ship disappearances? Yeah. That? I'm not liking it.

Well, I have a friend coming to give me a massage. Not like that, you pervs. She just finished massage therapist school and is waiting to get her license. In the mean time it means free massages for me. WOOHOO! Hopefully it'll take my mind off gray hairs I can't rip out and being abducted on the ship. Unless it's Pirates that look like Johnny Depp and then, well...they can do whatever they want to me as long as I'm returned home safely.

So, you've left the name of your cruise ship as well as your blog info with someone, so we can be apprised if the ship does, indeed, disappear?
Right!

And I still haven't worked up the courage to go get myself professionally waxed, even though I hate shaving, and do it as little as possible.
