I’m half Potowatomi (read: Indian) and half garden-variety-white-chick. Do you know that natives, generally speaking, have considerably less body hair than your garden-variety-white-chick? Yeah. Guess which half of the family *I* take after?

So, recently I posted that I’ve discovered that shaved = yum. Tomorrow I am going to Utah for 2 weeks and I thought, “Why not?” So tonight, I decided to shave the Girl Bits.

For fuck’s sake. For one thing: I got carried away. I was *born* with more pubic hair than I have now. However, when I got to the end, it proved more difficult than I thought. There’s a reason, it turns out, that I should have spent the 60 freaking dollars and bought the bliss spa “shaver” for the Girl Bits. It took me FOREVER to get it all done. Then there is small matter of CUTTING MYSELF in a few (hundred) delicate places. I am going to buy one of those damn bliss shavers.

Not to mention, the whole time, I was worried about getting a yeast infection from having the shaving stuff there too long, so I kept rinsing it and putting on more. Finally, I remembered that I have some lube, so I used that. Perfect! I’m told that I will prefer this once I have (oral) sex for the first time like this.

All I can say is, “I freaking hope so.” Cause really? Tonight, I’m not convinced.

On to the next part: packing for Utah. I’m pretty impressed with myself! I am going to be gone for 16 days and I’m taking one check-in bag and one carry on. Plus my purse. Because I know you’re so interested in the details of my life, I’ll tell you that I packed:

  • 3 dresses
  • 3 skirts
  • 3 pair of shorts
  • 10 shirts
  • 3 camis
  • 7 bras
  • one strapless bra/slip dealie
  • countless pair of underwear
  • gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous off white sandals
  • equally gorgeous new black sandals (actually, I’m wearing those, so they aren’t packed.)
  • 1 pair of sports sandals
  • 1 pair of socks in case they give me blisters while I’m at Lagoon and I have to be a total dork and wear socks with sandals.
  • 2 pair of flip flops
  • 3 bracelets
  • 2 necklaces
  • 4 pair of earrings
  • 11 books
  • 2 magazines
  • my Nintendo DS
  • of course, my netbook!
  • 4 lipsticks
  • 2 lipliners
  • an extra large LL Bean toiletry bag of all the gazillion products I use on a daily basis.
  • Probably I’m forgetting something.
  • There will prob be more because tomorrow I have about 3 hours between my meeting and when I’m due at the airport, so I’ll probably go shopping since I’ll be in what passes for a real city around here.

And, now, darlings, I probably ought to get to sleep. Let’s hope the Girl Bits are better in the am!
