from the heART: pay for the next person in line

Number 57: pay for the next person in line

Today I woke up late, didn't have time to wash my hair, threw on some clothes and rushed out the door. Not feeling very put together or well rested, today started as one of those days that I just wasn't feeling great about. 

I decided I needed a coffee pick me up over my lunch break. Conveniently located about two minutes from work, is a cute little white wood Starbucks house that has a drive through. After placing my order I thought to myself, if I'm not having the best day, it could be similar for those around and spreading a little love is just what this Thursday needed. Pulling up to the window to pay for my coffee, I asked if I could pay for the car behind me. I have no idea who it was and it really doesn't matter. It's like the header on this blog states, I simply wanted to share a little of life's random hidden treasures.

from the heART: "i'm sorry, you want me to do what?"

You may have read the title of this post and thought something bad happened. Well, I'm here to tell you that something bad did happen! Number 16: get a bikini wax. Yup, told you, bad!

Already feeling nervous and anxious about having this done, I tried to maintain as much composure as possible. However all hell broke loose when I walked into the room and the first thing the esthetician says is "Okay, take your underwear off, lay on the table, put your heels towards your butt, spread your legs like a butterfly and we'll get started." I am sure my response was paired with a bewildered face as I retorted, "I'm sorry, you want me to do what?!"

After a minute or two of trying my best to buck up and take it like champ, I got on the table and did as she said. Let me tell you, a bikini wax isn't a walk in the park and it didn't go down quietly. That's right, I may have yelled ... more than once. All the while she kept repeating "You poor thing." 

Once everything was said and done, I'm happy to report that I did it! The appointment ended with her laughing and saying "Yeah, you'll be back." In the moment, sure, I slightly wanted to punch her in the face but now a few days later, damn that hoe, she was right. I think I'll probably be back!
