EXCUSES, EXCUSES...

Posted July 22nd, 2008 by usgirl

It's been a while, I know...but I have really good reasons this time: (i) my laptop died (read: my cousin, Patrick, killed it), and (ii) I had surgery--on my wrist--on my right hand (and I am righty)-- a few weeks ago, and was in intolerable pain the weeks leading up to that. My doctor refused to give me more cortisone shots (because apparently, there's a cortisone shot quota--someone should tap my dermatologist on the shoulder and tell him that--he's unfamiliar with any such quotas) and while I thought I could brave it out and/or try all of the alternative medical recommendations that everyone suggessted (acupuncture, more yoga, etc.), and even tried to persuade him to give me more shots (and almost heeded the advice of others--to seek out other doctors to whom I could lie and simply pretend that I've never before received cortisone shots) I just couldn't. So....my tendonitis is just about gone (though my thumb is still, freakishly, numb), the pain is slowly, but surely, subsiding, and I'm going to suck it up and just buy a mac...That's all to say that I'll be posting regularly (cough) soon. Thanks for your patience! Love you, mean it :)Satisfy your Passion for Fashion!

  • Smooth Legs

    Previously for fear of pain and mess, I've always been satisfied with shaving. Upon seeing the very cool Veet ad for their hair removal cream (with the zig zag thing), I'd also given it a try. Alas, I was sorely disappointed when it only worked half way (ads are SO deceiving).
