Why, you ask, was I changing clothes in the car? On my way to work, of course, from my first laser hair removal appointment.
Oh baby, oh baby, I used more deep breathing and distraction techniques (including digging my fingernails into my own skin) for hair removal than I used to birth a baby. That laser sucker HURT. Just while it was in place on my skin, and as soon as it moved it didn't hurt anymore, but picture hundreds of mini lightening-bolts in a 0.5-inch by 0.5-inch area, then moved on to the next square of skin, then the next, then the next... I'm fine now, but still a little shaky from all the adrenalin pumping through my body while I tried to keep my legs from spasmodically jerking in shock. Every time my legs would jerk the gal holding the laser would jump - not a good combination!
Why, you ask, when I am such a frugal person would I spend my money on such a frivolity? 1) I'm currently making an extra 50 bucks a week leading a group that I don't really enjoy, so this is my consolation prize, and 2) I can't shave anymore without wicked wicked razor burn that's so ugly I can't wear shorts anyway. I don't want to live this way.
And I'm actually looking forward to round two. :)

Ouch! Sounds painful. But i'm pretty sure if i could, i would get laser too.
Did you know I've gotten lasered? I affectionately call it being "zapped." We'll have to chit chat this weekend about it. Trust me, I feel your pain. :)
I had no idea that's what laser hair removal involves! Good for you!
Ooops, I'm mean, not good about the pain...just good about that results!
You can come and hold my hand when I get it done in 10 years. I am so jealous that you will have no leg hair. I guess that is the curse for having beautiful brown hair.
Will you get a tan to go with those hairless legs?
Too bad I threw $400 of free laser away. That was rather wasteful, wasn't it?
I had that done to my upper lip once when I was younger and my daughters used to tease me about having a moustache...but legs? nah, the pain wouldn't be worth that!
