reasons i should not get pedicures...


for emily's birthday, we took her to berwyn nails (and several other places). we all got pedicures, emily's complimentary on us. :) in the process, i realized several reasons why having someone else attend to my feet is a bad move.

1) they're OOffensive
2) i'm ticklish. very ticklish. you'd think those files that they use on the dead skin on the bottom of your feet would do anything but tickle. but not for me.
3) not only am i ticklish, but i have somewhat active reflexes. when triggered, they make me appear as if i'm having a seizure, but localized to whatever part of my body happens to be involved. in this case, seizing legs.
4) i'm a wuss. a wuss who hates having her cuticles cut. a wuss who hates having her cuticles cut but can't say anything about it because she's a little afraid of the woman who is rapidly snipping at her toes.
5) while most girls would be thinking, "wow, my feet are going to feel so nice and smooth when all the dead skin is cut off," some little part of me is thinking, "it's taken me years of running to develop those calluses."

really, in the end though, i'm such a girl at heart and just love feeling my smooth, pretty feet and looking at my shiny, lilac (that's right, lilac, not purple) nails. final verdict on pedicure - good.
