Bib-O-Sweat
Wore my bib of sweat proudly as I left the gym today. An hour on my buddy the eliptical, and a wee bit of weight training gave me lovely wet sweat stains on back and front of tee shirt. I drove home looking like an anxious driver, leaning towards the wheel so as not to touch my wet back to the leather seats. Note to Self: bring towel for seat.
I go to get my hair done on Wednesday. In addition to getting a foil, I now also get my eyebrows dyed. A few years ago, my brows started to get a wild grey hair in ‘em here and there. I was plucking them but soon realized I would be drawing those suckers on in a few years if I kept pulling out every grey hair. So, now I look like Groucho Marx as I sit under the dryer with my hair in foils and one big dark brow line. Not a good look. O vain me cringes every time a rare male walks by. Sometimes, a little kid who is there with their mom will not be able to tear their eyes away from the Strange Lady from Outer Space with silver things poking out of her head. Oh the work it takes to be a woman! I would like to get a pedicure but am too embarrassed about the condition of my feet. NASTY! My speedy waitressing has produced big horny calluses on both big toes and balls of feet. I work away at ‘em occasionally with a big raspy file that looks like something more suited for a horse’s hooves. I also have a callus razor thingie that scares the heck out of me to use. I gingerly scrape away, just waiting for a big flap of skin to get caught. This is probably too much information on my personal grooming, and I apologize.
Go forth and make your own sweat bib!

Hey, I never understand people who tell me they exercise on their lunch hour. Even with half an hour of working out I’d need a shower. If they can change clothing, work out, and get back to work in under an hour… hmmm. So good job on the sweat!
I’ve also lived with the calluses on my feet from the safety shoes I wore at work. I’m finally getting my feet back into decent shape, but the moment the safety shoes go back on the bad feet will return. Oh well, such is life I suppose.
Love the Bib-o-sweat. I always feel great after Ive worked out that hard.
Realcdn, I’m with you on the lunch hour gig. Sometimes I take my work clothes to the gym and go to work from there, but my face is too sweaty and bright red for any type of make-up application. Plus, I always seem to forget to pack some critical article, say, a bra or something!
baileysmomma, lets keep the sweat drops a-rollin’!
The Groucho Marx comment made me laugh. And don’t be afraid of a pedicure…my sister used to have a nail salon and you’d be amazed at how much nastier a lot of peoples’ feet are. I’m sure they have seen it all.
Good job on earning all that sweat! I never worked out on my lunch hour but I used to take a walk with friends. Of course, then I had to munch my lunch during work.
I bought a “hair removal” system from Conair that’s supposed to easily and painlessly remove hair and exfoliate dry skin on your legs. Walmart carries them and you can take a look at

It actually works pretty well and uses a slightly coarse revolving disc to skim over the hair and skin. I’ve found that it does a fantastic job on my heels and keeps them really smooth! The really great thing is that I found them at Big Lots for $5.00! I bought about 10 of them and gave one to a bunch of my friends. The cashier at Big Lots told me they get them all the time. So, instead of buying new discs, I’ll just buy a whole new system!
