Embracing Monday.

With one minor exception, I seriously had the bestest weekend ever! Of course it could have been because the last couple of weeks have been so poopy for me that it didn't take much to make a great weekend - ha. So do you want to know what the "one minor exception" was? I know you do. Now this could be *TMI* - but if you've been reading my blog for longer than the last minute, you know that I don't have a filter and I'm just me...so I'm finna tell you {finna is Oakland for "fixin' to" by the way ;)} OK - so Nair. We're all girls here, so we all know what Nair is, right? You may not use Nair, but you know what it is. Nair takes off hair; leg hair, bikini line hair, whatever....you gots a hairy face, they got Nair for that too! Alright, I'm gonna let y'all in on a little secret here - winter time and hair on the legs. Yeah - I let it go. I mean it's not like I look like Cromagnon man or anything. And it's not like my big butt is out there in shorts in the middle of the winter anyway, so who cares?! Alright so Saturday I'm getting out the car from Target and I see some leg hair...it's light...but it's like blowing in the wind - ha ha ha. And I'm like - OK, time to Nair. So yesterday morning before church I Naired - my legs and my armpits. Just shut up, OK?! In college, my friend Jennifer used to pluck her armpits; I would beat mine up with a razor until I met Nair. Alright so I gots Nair on - legs and armpits. And no sooner am I done putting the Nair on and my armpits are *en fuego* {that means ON FIRE!!!} So I get a wet washcloth and wipe it all off. The thing says what, 3 minutes or something - it was not even half that! I was BURNING. My armpits are STILL burning. And they are oozing. And I have chunks of skin sticking to my shirt. NASTAY. And - it stinks. Oh and when I was wiping the Nair off, I must have wiped some on to the part of my chest between breast and pit because that's got some burnt roadrash looking thing on it now too. Sweet Jesus - I am disgusting. But hey - I have the smoothest, biggest legs you'll never want to see ;)

I made this card for Amber's Viva la Verve challenge this week. And "can I just tell you" what a PITA this challenge was? The sketch was OK, but the twist was NO DP. NO DP!?! Are you kidding me? I live for DP. I dream in color and you want me to go without DP on a card? Well I did it - but as Jennifer in Canada would say "I'm not vibin'" this card at all. I'll give it to K - she'll like the rainbowiness of it.

I'm determined to never send a Hallmark or Current or whatever other brand card again. That is after I have used up all the ones I have now. So I need to make sure I truly have a card for every occasion. I've got birthdays, sympathy and bunches of miscellaneous, but with the impending birth of Miss Molly's little one, I was reminded that I need bebe cards in my stash. So I made a few last night.

Alright girls - me and my busted and disgusted armpits are outta here.

You have yourself a great Monday!
