wax tragedy continued

Whatever sh!t wax they used made me break out. I have a pretty bad rash. Typical. I should know better than to have anything put on my over-sensitive skin. I am sooooo mad at myself.

Do you remember the waxing scene in The 40-Year Old Virgin? Well, that was me yesterday. Only I went to get my eyebrows waxed and not my chest (eww). The truth is that I don't know how to shape my eyebrows. I kind of pluck stray hairs but I'd never really gotten them into a nice shape. I'm always scared of plucking too much. Or looking like "Gordolfo". I'm sure you don't know who that is, so let me post a picture. . .



I'd decided to get them waxed a while ago, but just hadn't gotten around to it. Anyway, it hurt like a *$&@#(! I didn't expect it to hurt so much. I cried. I couldn't help it, the tears just kept coming. I should've been tipped off since the girl said "Oops, sorry" after the first time. OUCH! So, now I have pretty eyebrows and red all around the brows. She said the red would go away soon but it's still there. Especially above my nose, She waxed there too since apparently I had a unibrow that I didn't know about. Look at my pretty brows and the ugly red bumps I have now on my face. I'm putting a circle around the biggest bump just so you know.

**sorry if this post is coming up so late. I've had problems with blogger and had to save it as a draft

i've never said that before

A little more than a year ago, I posted about things I'd never said before. (You can view it here although all my old comments have been lost since). Anyway, I still find myself always saying things that sounds really odd. I really do say things I've never said before. Just within the last 24 hours I've said the following. . . .

-".... and then she pulled off my eyelid"

-"Your stupid vagina got me in trouble".

-"I can't believe I'm laughing about killing baby otters".

-".... not even five minutes later, he peed and all the spiders disappeared".

If you want an explanation about any of these, let me know.

"living in sin"

Rodrigo and I are not married nor are we in the process of getting married. It really just isn't an issue with us. Surprisingly, it's not even an issue for our families. The only ones that ever hassle me are friends with the old, "So, when's the wedding?".
Well, I say that it's not even an issue but it is now. The thing that has changed is that now I feel immature calling him my boyfriend. I first felt it when I was telling clients back home that I was moving. I'd explain, "My boyfriend got a job offer in Tucson", and I thought that sounded immature. I felt like I got a look of "boyfriend?". Like I was following around some little boyfriend I have a crush on. I used to make it a big point to correct people when they called us husband/wife. Right away I'd say "We're not married". It got a little old with all of Alec's pediatrician visits, though. They'd call me Mrs. Rodrigo's last name and I just started going along with it. Places like that I don't even correct people anymore.
Anyway, back to what I was saying. Rodrigo had to reply to an email from his company about relocation fees. They asked to confirm that we were living together but not married. He replied something like "We are in fact partners but are not married". I freaked out. I think that saying that we're partners will make people think we're gay guys. That would make me the tranny. Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with guys living together, I just don't want to be seen as the guy. Hmm, maybe people would think Rodrigo is just a very manly looking girl. Anyway, the point is I didn't like the way partners sounded. That brings me to a dilema. . . what do I call him?

- boyfriend = immature
- partners = gay
- lover = dramatic professor type (Think Will Farrell on SNL when he would say "My lovah. . ."
- my babydaddy = hilarious but not really my style
- gentleman friend = southern couple courting
- escort = gigolo

Rodrigo says he's going to call me his "opposite sex partner". I'd love to hear that. I wouldn't be able to stop laughing. He says there's nothing wrong with partner and that people don't automatically assume "same sex partner". For now I'm having fun looking at the entries I found on this thesaurus. I'd have a blast using some of those. What would you suggest?

Oh! Significant other! Duh!

just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in

I was sure that by the time I turned 30, I'd be way over watching MTV. I really was for a while. There wasn't anything on there that even interested me. Then they started showing that "My Super Sweet 16" show which I like to call "How not to Raise my Daughter". Despite the fact that I don't agree with anything those parents are doing, I like watching the show. I guess I like getting upset or something. Now there's something else I want to watch and a confession I'd like to make. I, Yvett, who used to be cool and refused to listen to any sort of mainstream pop music kind of like a stupid Justin Timberlake song. Yes, I know, I know. I'm hanging my head in shame, but I hear it everywhere I go and it's sooooo catchy. Anyway, MTV is premiering the video and the making of the video this coming Tuesday. I can't believe I'm promoting JT. I am soooooo ashamed. So, if you want to go hear it go here. Now I'll never be able to face my friends or Rodrigo again.

rhubarb

I've heard of rhubarb, of course. I've just never actually seen one. We have a rhubarb strawberry pie at home right now and it is delicious. The thing is that I was eating some and I saw a little piece of what I'm asuming is rhubarb and I won't eat it. What exactly is a rhubarb anyway? It's some sort of plant, right? I'm imagining something like a turnip. Only I looked it up and it looks more like "cebollitas". I'm sorry I can't remember the word in English. It's like an onion but not chives. Anyway, back to rhubarb, what else can be made with them? If I bite down on this thing is it going to be mushy, potato-y? I'm just taking those little pieces out of the pie and eating the rest. Ani, Jess and Jenn, you guys cook a lot. Have you ever used rhubarb?

*update* I just remembered, "cebollitas" are scallions. Sorry. Sometimes I can't think in English.
