While I am definitely a Luddite when it comes to certain things, particularly in the technology area, I have done everything on the list except deep frying. I roasted a turkey once; it was a disaster, so now my husband does it. I have roasted chickens, though.
Well, I haven't had a bubble bath for a long time. I mostly take showers, too, but sometimes when I get home from a long and hard ride, I take a bath in Epsom salts. And the pet was for my kids. I grew up in a family of people who don't like animals and I pretty much still dislike them myself. The cat died this summer after 14 good years and we are not getting another one. I know this is blasphemy to some of you, but when a strange animal comes near me, I am not happy.
I get pedicures every 6 weeks. I go to one of the many small places owned by Cambodian immigrants. It's very reasonably priced, especially compared to the "spa" where I get my hair cut. And I am giving business to a local small business owner. It's cheaper than a massage, which I would get every week, if I could. It's bliss when they massage your legs...
Manicures, well, I do that myself. Once in a great while I treat myself to a professional one. My friends all get their nails done every week, but I don't like to take the time to go there every week. My cycling buddy rides to get hers done sometimes and then has the person do her nails with her gloves on!
Ah, the antiperspirant. Well, I certainly don't mind sweat and dirt, but I do not like the smell of b.o. Sorry, it kind of makes me gag. I know that a lot of people don't really smell when they sweat, but I do.
