   Heatherbean:

   LOL, Really, laughed OUT loud!

   Yes, after many years of pleading I allowed your Mom to buy moi a pedicure. I didn’t mind being the only guy in a foo-foo Costa Rican salon. I did mind that a day after I got home I had caught athlete’s foot from the foot bath. Yuck!

   Love ya.

     thanks pops. So sorry to hear about the yucky feet situation. Definitely a downside to the foot pampering…you wouldn’t think that would happen at a nice salon. thanks for the constant encouragement (and for helping me see the “funny” side of life).

   I am so glad that you continue to share in a real and transparent way…..it so encourages me! I have never been talked into a full face wax….but often talked into a myriad of other things that I don’t really need because someone makes my ‘need’ apparent in a moment (think shopping for a top and leaving with an outfit…getting a haircut….and 2 hrs later emerging with foils…..).

     Oh yes the shopping for clothes “upsale”. Good stuff. Maybe the face wax scenario will be a physical reminder to just. say. no.

   Heather, your face is so SMOOTH!

   My dermatologist told me once that I needed to have broken capillaries in my face repaired with a series of laser treatments. I obliged since she is a medical professional. When I arrived the first treatment, the nurse made a mistake and did the first treatment on one of the higher levels. Instead of having a sunburnt face like I should have for a couple of days, I had these red and white bar marks. It looked a robot slapped me. It stayed like that for a month until I went back for the second treatment.

     Ha! Thanks amazing what removing two or three layers of skin will do. One of my fears is the urban legend that the hair will grow back thicker and darker…which would then lead to an endless cycle of face waxing, which I am not prepared to endure. So when you see me in two weeks, I may bring along my electric razor. (your dermatology story…wow! I can picture the robot-slap marks…sister. I’m so sorry).

   Oh my goodness I laughed so hard! I haven’t got a story like yours but I am so easily influenced by what people tell me because I want to please everyone. I’m learning to say no and mean it now, especially hard with family. Bless you for being so transparent and sharing.

     Oh it is sooooo hard to say no…and mean it. Sometimes I’ll say no and my voice gives away that it’s really a “maybe”. Thanks for your encouragement. Have a great weekend!

   Ouch! The only thing I’ve had done at a spa/salon are mani/pedi for my wedding and my sister’s wedding. That is all. I was tempted to do the brows once, but yikes! :p It is hard to say no sometimes…I always end up buying stuff from people when they ask. Grrr!

   Ooh, I’ve had lots of similar experiences. That’s how I know that GOD has a sense of humor. Either I haven’t learned my lesson to stay GOD-centered or HE’s trying to get me to loosen up (Ha! Ha!).

   I totally laughed out loud, only because I can totally relate… This hit home in many ways… Thank you for sharing, as I’m sure it can’t be easy to share an embarrassing experience you have spoken to me many a times in your writings kudos to you mama! You were able to share a not so great experience & turn it into a learning lesson with possibly a few chuckles here & there… No better way when dealing with a situation that could really turn all negative and get you down…. Keep up the awesome work… Love reading all your blogs

     thank you for your encouragement melanie! And I’m very thankful the experience ended in laughs…trying not to take life too seriously.

   I have done the eyebrow wax thing one time and that was for my wedding. I was paranoid afterwards that the bumps would not be gone in time for the wedding, I had no idea that happened after being waxed! I have a low pain tolerance so if I am really desperate, I will take those little tiny scissors you get in a manicure set and try and get at close to the skin without grabbing the skin to try and cut the hair on my eyebrow as short as possible, Ha….like it doesn’t scare you enough seeing a pair of scissors coming towards your eye!!!
