To my friends - in case I don't express enough gratitude

I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who gave me words of encouragement, flattery, advice and humor over the last few days. It's so sweet of you. And some of you just crack my shit up.

A little aftermath:

I talked Paul down from printing out my blog and going to the spa's management office with it. I'm not looking for any kind of compensation from them as I don't intend to go back there. I also do not want a refund. As far as I'm concerned, I requested a service and they performed it. They should be paid. I'm not obligated to tip, so I didn't. Had the experience been more positive, I definitely would have.

While the texture of my face felt smoother yesterday, visually, I saw no difference. In fact, I have a few new zits and some of my facial scarring seems more pronounced now. My skin is roughly back to its regular texture today. The long and short of it is that I tried getting a facial and didn't like it. I'm sure I can find lots of other uses of my time and money. I think I'll live just fine without another one.

My eyebrows actually look worse. I couldn't tell that they were uneven before. I can definitely tell now. Luckily, my bangs will most likely cover them until they grow back to normal. That woman was out of her skull.

I don't believe Niculina is actually Russian. I'm not apologizing for my Russian slurs though, because I think I was funny. My mean and sarcastic humor is usually one of the few things that make me feel better when I'm having a bad experience. I looked up her credentials on the spa's website and it seems that she was educated at the Medical Institution of Bucharest, leading me to believe that she's Romanian. *Insert your own "Romanian women are really hairy joke here.* I'm now convinced that the Medical Institution of Bucharest is one of the following:

1. A mental institution in which patients experience occupational therapy by popping each others' zits and putting the lotion in the basket and all that.

2. Some sort of equivalent to the University of Phoenix or DeVry Institute.

Also, according to the website, one of Niculina's specialties is Brazilian bikini waxing. If she was that harsh about my face, I shudder to think about what she'd say about my nether region. Although, at least I really do shave that.

Someone else suggested that the whole eyebrow thing was a sales ploy to get me to purchase the additional service of a wax. It's possible. But given her reluctance to do it, I kind of lean towards that not being true. I would totally fall for something like that, though. I'm a marketing person's wet dream, after all. If that was her intention, it totally backfired. Not only did she not get her tip, she totally lost future business.

Anyway, it's not my fault that bitch was too fat to be a gymnast. Nadia Comaneci really shouldn't be taking the fact that she was already kicked off Celebrity Apprentice out on me.

Ok. I'll let it go now. Thanks again for being such wonderful people! You all have very special places in my grinchy little heart.

Mwah!
