A pedicure

I am not a fan of feet. They're gross. Looking at them. That's gross. Touching them. Gross. So I'm getting a pedicure. Makes sense, right?
But I have wine.
A small Asian man with a cough forcasting the onset of tuberculosis is filing my toenails. Peering at them through tortoise shell cheaters while wheezing what I'm sure will be one of his last breaths. 
It's skeeving me out. The whole combination is gross. A: feet. B: phlegmy old dude. 3: touching. A lot of it.
So I suck Cabernet from a Tervis. God I love my Tervis. It allows me to ignore the dot o' snot he keeps sniffing up his left nostril. With each sip, and by sip I mean lengthy suck, I ignore the foot thing.
Yet I'm paying $55 (tip included because I can't not tip a dude for making a living off feet) to be outside of my comfort zone for about 30 minutes. I consider it a growth opportunity.
Why didn't I bring the 32 oz. Tervis? I don't know the 18 ounces of scrumptious Cab will last me. Remember, growth.
And I'm about to grow even more. Cheese grater time. Watching dead calloused skin fall like Parmesan cheese onto the towel is gross. I believe this is why I don't put grated cheese on any entrée. Ever.
The wine is almost gone according to the hollow of my cheeks sucking every damn drop of the stuff from my thankfully non-transparent walktail glass.
Typhoid Ted doesn't seem to care about the cheese. It's a regular Tuesday for him. His cheaters are off now though. Guess even he doesn't want to see that too closely. 
Uh-oh. Massage time. Oh. My. God. Ted has magic hands. His bony fingers are  caressing my calves and feet in ways that make me wish I had more wine. Some candles.  And that he looked more like My Crush. 
Not that I want MC to spend a lot of time on my feet, but I would let MC's hands do that to many other parts of my anatomy. Digressing. I blame the wine and my empty stomach.
And now I sit here happily buzzed. Practically pre-orgasmic in as relaxed a state as I am able to get on a Tuesday afternoon with Ted hacking a lung as his fingers turn my calves to buttah.
The lotion smells too flowery and sweet. I'm going to leave here smelling like an Asian hooker. Gross.
Thank god the liquor store is next door. I'm empty.

Commando - not the cheesy movie

There's something about not wearing underwear that makes you appreciate kegel exercises. Today I went commando. No big deal. People do it all the time. I've dated two guys who thought underwear was a two-word question. But when you're not wearing panties - or gramma undies - or a thong - or boy shorts - or hipsters - or tap pants - and you're talking to the boss and there's that little voice in your head that goes "Naughty girl!" (my little voice sounds like Austin Powers), and then you sneeze, well... that's when you say a quick thank you to Dr. Kegel for figuring out that squeeze thing. See, I have to do laundry. I've had to do laundry for a couple days. I figured that out when yesterday I realized I would have to wear the most uncomfortable pair of hooker underwear I own. I figured it would be OK; I've worn them before, just not to work. And not all day. Uh, no. Trust me when I say that piece of lace isn't made to actually be on for mor...

I do have a blog

Wow. Look what happens when your friends guilt you (in a good way) to joining the 21st Century: You find out you joined almost two years ago and forgot about it. Either I'm a trend setter or am going insane. You pick. So...here I am. I'm avoiding homework, which is becoming my newest hobby - and I'm very good at it. My final is due Friday. I have plenty of time. Hours. And, thanks to the birthday party last week, a few bottles of wine. With wine and hours, if I can't pull out a comparison between tainted corned beef and New Orleans' levee breaks, no one can. Alright. Here I am. Again.

Sick day

I feel like a rebel. I'm home sick. I haven't taken a sick day in years. Not even a fake one. Hmmm... I'm not really prepared to be sick. There are only a few drugs in the house (case in point - I just took a Tylenol Sinus PM, I'm sure I'll be out like a light soon), I have no good "I'm home sick" food (frosted flakes, mac & cheese) and daytime TV is not exactly great company; had I planned this, I would have bought a book. A couple nights ago I woke with a piercing sinus headache on the left side of my head. It's been there in various stages of "Ow" since. Today I said screw it and let the sinus win. Of course I checked my calendar first to be sure being sick wouldn't interfere with anything at work. And can someone ever really be sick when the big blackberry server in the Canadian tundra is up and running? Email traffic is work, right? So really, I'm teleworking today. And making tacos. In my jammies.
