The Power of 'Liquid Laser'



I'm starting a new top ten. I'm going to start with one of my favorite  items Liquid Laser. I'm lazy and I know it. So anything to help me groom and or feel physically better about myself, without too much effort is always a plus.  Liquid Laser provide fast action and pain free clean legs. To any guy reading this look away now. The Pre/ Post pics aren't pretty. But to prove how easy it is I will track the process.

It's not perfect & Usually with a second application everything's gone.

Update

I know I haven't been around much this week.I've been crazy with school and life. It takes away from blog time.  I finally got on Weight Watchers e-tools and after playing with it for a bit today here's my progress.

What A Weight


About four years ago a coworker of mine transferred to my store. I had an instant crush on him for the longest time. It would come and go over time. Especially since it was a known secret that he had a thing for another co-work of mine (known as Girly.) And as a straight female even I get it. But he would hang with me at break until sometime a year or two ago when he started hanging with her. This is about the time I started gaining most of my weight, and yes t crossed my mind but not seriously.

So my crush faded as all mine do when there is no contact. I don’t crush on people just based off there looks. I even had a convo with a friend who worked with me about this and told her that I have no idea why it faded. I like him as a person.

He has many traits that I would look for in a guy to seriously commit. But when neglected I tend to build up armor. He’d be nice enough but distant with me. Until a couple weeks ago that is. I thought very little of it. I happened to be hanging down with Girly wanting to finish a convo we were having just before break. I also loaned him a CD to listen to about the same time. It was a couple days ago that I noticed that he was hanging out near me more than before. This morning proved it.

While on break instead of sitting next to her he came and sat near me, but in the next group over. I was busy studying for my upcoming test and not very social during break. After break the team was sent to One-Spot. (Small area in front of the door.) He started a conversation with me while we worked. When I was done with my box I left to finish what I was working on before break. It only took a couple minutes and I returned to the front to help clean up. He asked me to help even though it was a handful of items. We continued talking.

This is where my mind goes “What?” It seemed like he was flirting with me. And again I like him as a person and physically. But there’s this nagging feeling that my weight played a larger part in him not talking to me the past year or so. I get that some people have physical preferences and such, but that really felt off to me.

Today that old feeling started stirring and I shook it off. My mind, that it is, went something like this.

“But why?”

“Because you can’t trust this.”

“Why not?”

“Sigh. Just listen to me. It’s not worth the hurt.” And this is once again my problem. Now in reality this isn’t a good relationship or anything, but why does my head over think things? And why are guys so shallow? Why do they only come onto you when you look a certain way? Why do we feel that should be okay now days?

Self-realization; It’s a drag.

So I took a break of studying to take a shower this evening. And I want to know why that is always the place you start thinking? My thought process was a bit of a merry-go-round ride. First thought was, “Why, do I always get the user guys?” 2nd thought “Why do I get the over the top pervs, or the guys who have like no backbone?” All this is true. I always seem to attract the instant pervert, the guy who would let me walk all over him if I wanted to or the guy who walks over me, but does it with enough class I don’t see it until it’s too late. I admit I want a relationship, a real one where the guy cares enough about me to stick it through and gets to know me. The guy who once knows me crazy and all wants to be with me.

I also admit the reason I get the user is due to I get exhausted of waiting around for that guy and start looking for a short term fix. I’m happy with who I am. I’m okay being slightly off. But that’s not enough. Loving thyself isn’t always enough. And hearing people tell me wait and that guy will fall into your lap is complete bullshit. Any and every guy I’ve been with has been work; most of it done by me. I then get sick of previous guys falling into my lap and retreat into my everlasting, but very understood singlehood.

Rinse and repeat.

I then get tired of being alone and the cycle continues. Why is it that no guy looks at me and goes I would like to know that girl? Why is that he goes I want to fuck that girl? Don’t get me wrong I like sex. Many people probably think I get it more than I do. I wish it were that easy. I wish I could be a slut and just fall into bed with any guy I’m physically attracted to. Alas I’m not and I don’t. This has nothing to do with religion and very little to do with morals.

It leaves me with that voice in the back of my head going, “You’re not good enough. You need to change to become what they want you to be. No one loves you.” This is the voice of Self-Loathing Rae. And I do try to muzzle her as often as possible. But when she points out my track record I have to wonder does she have a point?

Inspired by Sel; Overrated


He was the king of this ally. Anyone who came down it met a fatal ending. When he heard a couple giggling as they made their way towards him he laughed as his luck. Two for one deal. Perfect.

The closer the couple got the happier he became. The girl was no more than 5’5”. If that. This was going to be easy and pie. The girl saw him first and let out a shriek. When her date looked up he took a step backwards. Too easy. But he wanted to savor his dinner. With one large stride he was next to them.

Grabbing the man’s neck he thrust him into the brick wall behind them. He crumpled to the ground and was out for the count. “This just leaves you and me, sweetie.” He smiled at her licking the tips of his fangs.

“You knocked out my date.” She yelled. “You know how much work goes into looking this hot?”

“Twenty minutes max.” He scoffed

“Bastard!” As her date was unconscious she figured it was time to show this asshole who she really was. “You fucked with the wrong girl tonight, Vampire.”

Pulling out a stake from her clutch bag she lunged. He chuckled at her and dodged her attack. “That’s like totally cute.” He mocked. “But a cutey like you should be careful with such a big stick. I promise it’ll only hurt for a second. Then you’ll be begging for more.”

“Please.” She threw herself at him forcing him further into the ally. “I’ve handled bigger tools than this and smarter ones than you.” Her aim was off and she grazed his shoulder before rolling out of his way. Thus the dance of Hunter and Vampire. Minutes passed as the lunged and dodged each other. Her date luckily maintained unconscious. She had the Vampire pinned against the wall. Stake aimed for his heart. With one hard thrust she had him. But the stake didn’t meet flesh. Instead the smell of smoke had her choking and loosening her grip on him.

He had one last trick up his sleeves. This little girl wasn’t getting the best of him. He reached in his jacket pocket and grabbed three round objects and threw them down at his feet.

He vanished into a poof of smoke. This was so cliché she couldn’t believe it happened. Vampires disappearing into smoke? What had the world come to? Then a crash of garbage cans and a curse. The smoke was clearing and she saw him stumble down the alleyway. What the heck?

“Did you forget to turn into a bat and fly away?” She mocked as she pounced on his fallen figure. Seconds later he really did vanish into dust as her stake pierced his heart. “Vampires. Totally overrated.”

I smell something burning. OMG the garbage is on fire!!!! No seriously FIRE!!!!!

So my bedtime snack was going to be a small bag of popcorn. I ended up over cooking it. Badly. So I decided to toss it and start a new bag. This time I was staying with it just to make sure it didn't burn.  Oh we are a ll glad I did. The smell of bur popcorn made me turn on the stove fan. A minute later the smell gets drastically worse and I look over to see smoke coming out of the paper bag we use as our garbage bag. I immediately pick it up and carry it outside and toss the popcorn bag onto the walkway. Bad idea. Right underneath is a paper towel which suddenly bursts into orange embers. I calmly rush inside and grab a large cup of water and head back out to dump it on it. In the mean time despite the rain the embers continue to grow. I then head back in and grab a large pitcher of water rush back out and tear the bag open and drown it. Repeat that times 3 just to be safe and embers are gone. The house isn't on fire and now I have to clean up a pile of garbage outside in the dark and in the rain. Oh this late night snack so wasn't worth it. 


On the bright side the 2nd bag of popcorn came out perfectly.

Fun Times

Today was one of those awesome days. I got to go walking with a girlfriend for a few hours.  Our childish nature left us playing in the park for a bit longer than we should have. Then we grabs some food ( tri-tip and salad.) and headed back to her place. I got to hang with her and family for the afternoon and may I say that there's an act in the making. What kind? I'm not sure.  That's up to her.  And I managed to play Wii fit a bit.  *Shrugs* Well while sitting down on her couch. 


I think the worst of it was that it decided to rain mid afternoon. :( No park time for us even though we tried.  And I maintained within my points as of now.  Woohoo.


Coming up in my weight-loss program  is a new system in Weight Watchers for us Americans.  Stinking Europe. After several hours of googling I think I managed to find an idea of how it'll work.  But it's still very vague.


(Slight intermission.)


Okay with more research I found out it's called Pro Points and that it requires a bit more math than before. Hopefully And most likely WW will have one for us lazy people.  As I continue to scour the web I keep finding more in-depth stuff. And it all looks good. Only 4 weeks till we get the truth from WW. As it is our normal meeting day lands on my uncles wedding. Oops. Now to continue the hunt for a date.


Good night to all.
