Busted

I was working at home yesterday, and as usual I spent most of the day on the phone. Not too bad -- it gives me a chance to multi-task. Important things like: making breakfast, clipping and filing coupons, laundry, getting caught up on mail, etc.


So I was on a conference call yesterday, and as I was multi-tasking someone said "Peapod? Peapod? Are you there?"


Me: "Yeah yeah, I'm here."


Them: "What's all that background noise? Construction?"


Me: "No, there's no construction." I giggled.


Them: "Well, what ARE YOU DOING?"


Me: "I can't tell you."


There was silence.


Me: "OK, I'll tell you. I was multi-tasking. I was 'Ped Egging' my foot."



There was an outburst of laughter on the other end. (By the way, it was all women, otherwise I would've gone with the construction theory.)



I just got the "Ped Egg", an "As Seen on TV" contraption that is designed for home pedicuring. It's like a little cheese grater, but for your foot. I thought it would be good for "upkeep" between bi-weekly visits to the salon. I used it on a very dry foot and it worked pretty well. I'm gonna try again after my foot has been soaking, and see what happens.


Overall, I'm giving a thumbs up to the Ped Egg. It's better than the foot paddle file that I normally use, but I'm not so sure it can compare to the outlawed razors they use to use in the salon.

WPVI gave the peg egg a big thumbs down - they said it didn't exfoliate evenly enough. This is what I bring to the table ...

Girls: If/when your feet are jacked up, this is pretty good. It's not as good as the salon, but for upkeep it's not bad. There are 2 attachments: the cheese grater and the file. The file gets the spots missed by the cheese grater. I'd give it a 7/10.

Los, WPVI was right, but you vcaan combat that problem by egging in multiple directions, back and forth. I'm sure that'll be helpful when YOU are egging your feet! bahaaa

I bet it smells like a cheese grater, too, after a few uses.

Does it work on pimples? I might get one for my ass.
