Um. I’m confused. The guy who is unhappy w/ his custom fitted golf clubs is calling you high maintenance? Really? He is? Well, okay then. Excuse while I go giggle to myself in the corner.
Oh, shut up and don’t shut up. I mean, complain away. I had this conversation with my very wise friend Zarah, about how someone always has it worse so why do things ever seem hard, and she said something wise that I can’t exactly reproduce, but the essence is, your shit is difficult because it’s your shit. And this is your goddamned blog, where else can you complain? My blog comments have all been very swear-y today – sorry. Anyway, I’ll listen to you complain and make sympathetic clucking noises about your psychotically hairy legs any time. I’m here for you, babe!
I sorta feel the same way as Bibliomama. Yeah, you’re surgery wasn’t quite as tough as mine but it doesn’t change the fact that your legs still really hurt and you are rather limited in what you can do.
If you were still complaining in 5 months our sympathy
might dry up but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
Maybe try Nair…
You call THIS too much information?
I was waiting for something about *initiating polite Canadian translator* the lady garden region or pus (pus, one S) when you tweeted that your post was TMI.
Such a disappointment, Nicole & not at all because you’re high maintenance. Tsk tsk.
Sooooooo do not try Nair. Just don’t. Even the “gentle” stuff. If you get it in/on something that’s still healing, you will be complaining well beyond Happy Geek’s 5 month window.
(I promise your legs will start feeling better soon. Promise.)
I’m fair (ghost-like my husband says – he’s so romantic) with dark hair and of Irish ancestry. So I totally know how yeti-like it can get. In the final month of each pregnancy, I couldn’t manage to shave my legs. It’s probably a good thing, I couldn’t see how bad it got.
I feel your pain! Well not the surgery part put the hairy leg part.
If I want to be smooth and stuble free I need to shave everyday! I am blonde and fair skinned but my leg hair (and other areas) think differently. I know my maiden name is of Scottish decent too so now I know I can blame it on that!
Sending healing thoughts!
