One Of My Worst Ideas Yet!

I hate shaving my legs! It is so tedious and it grows back so quickly that it drives me crazy. So i got the brilliant idea to buy an epilator. Well, if you don't know, an epilator is a little machine that actually pulls the hairs out, like waxing. Marshall calls it the "Ripalator". Let me just tell you... this is one of the worst pains that i have ever felt, right up there next to the tattooed eyeliner! It FETCHING KILLS!!!! Well, i spent a lot of money on this thing so i decided that i was not going to give up. I started with my left leg... i was taking so long because i kept breaking because it hurt so bad, that the batteries ran out and i had to recharge it. So i would let it sit there and charge for about an hour or a half hour and then i would use it again and try and get some more juice out of it. I did only the front and sides of my left leg, the back hurt to bad. I need to build up some more courage and try it again. I ended up shaving my right leg because i knew the epilator would not get it done so i see this as an experiement, we will see how much longer the left leg stays smooth. Well, actually, i am not done, its not even smooth yet. I charged it all night and i plan to finish it up today after work. Oh and i forgot to mention that when i say i did my "leg" i mean from the knee down. Yeah, its that bad. Well, the story gets worse. As i mentioned, the batteries were running low and i really wanted to get at least one thing smooth, so i decided to try my arm pit. BIG mistake. I touched it to the very bottom of the pit and it hurt so bad i yelped like an animal on fire and dropped the device from hell. Well, you would think i would learn from this mistake but noooo... so i did it again, but this time right in the middle. I have never felt anything like it. OUCH! Then i remembered that my sister in law had told me that she would recommend waxing before using this device so i thought i should try that. Typically you need 2 hands to wax but me being wonderwoman thought that rule didnt apply to me. So i tried waxing my left pit. DISASTER! I did one little strip and got quite a bit of hair out, it hurt like a FREAKING beeotch but i thought it was working so i did it again. Only i couldnt really see very well and my fingers started getting sticky, my skin was turning lobster shades of red and my eyes were watering. So i put my arm down and was going to be done with it, only to realize that my arm was stuck to my pit. I had gotten was all over and now i had a SERIOUS mess on my hands. I tried to get it off but if you have ever delt with wax before you know that was not working. It took me upwords of an hour to clean this dang pit and then i still had hair. So i decided to shave. Well, as any smart person should be able to figure out, shaving irritated skin is not pleasant. It burned like there was no tomorrow. At least i had a smooth pit... for a day. Well, i decided to call it a night. I woke up this morning and got ready for work and put on deodorant. All that did was remind me of how bad the pain was because it BURNED like it did when i shaved it. I couldnt put my arm down. I tried to wipe it out but that only hurt worse. I couldnt go without deodorant, no one at my work deserved that so i figured i would suck it up and deal. Well, i cannot put my arm down, i am sure i looked like a goon airing out my bo filled arm pit on the way to work because it was up like a chicken wing the whole way. Its not to bad now because i put it on my desk to rest it and i am good to go. I learned a very valuable lesson last night.. READ THE DIRECTIONS. Oh, and listen to them. It said CAUTION: Do not use epilator head on under arm hair. Pshaw... like i would listen to that, what do they know? Well, apparently they know more than i do. I am not done yet though, this device from hell will not defeat me. I am going to finish the bottom half of my left leg tonight. Hopefully it will go alittle smoother after i read the directions again, and actually follow them.
