nothing to wear. i mean, i have lots of clothes, but none of them a combination of (a) i can get into them (b) they don't hurt (c) they're not jeans and a baggy tshirt, and (d) they're not the same pair of beige pants i've worn on the last three days i've worked.
there was the skirt, but the pantyhose had gone missing. so, if you are a person i know in real life and you see me today? recommend you avert your eyes from my ankles, unless you are wearing suitable eye protection.
if nothing else, it's caused me to shave my legs.
i so need to shave my legs, too. i tried that nair stuff one time, but it just made me smell like a skunk.
see, chris bought these poodle groomers (ok, it's what i call clippers, remembering this from my childhood) to shave the kid's head, so i used that on the worst of the fur, which left just a little stubble which i hacked through with his razor. have i mentioned i grow manly leg-hair? i do.
i've gotten several compliments on my appearance today, which ... well, i guess when you dress like a bum for years and then put on a skirt and a blouse and something other than big sporty man-sandals, it's kinda shocking.
i know it is to me.
and as far as being my own boss, well, i don't pay very well and i am really a bitch to work for :)
Is it "manly" growth, or just 6 months growth like mine? I hate that first leg shave of the spring - I could do with some of those poodle groomers. Actually there's a dog grooming parlour in the village maybe I should make an appointment ;)
Egad!! You used his razor? That's just, just, well, not done!
1. My winter leg hair is getting to the point where I'm thinking I'm going to need to go to the barber when it's time to come clean. I'm not sure it's ever been this long. It's kind of fascinating, though.
2. This week's outfit: black slacks, v-neck t-shirt, big black sweater. Three days so far this week (you guess which ones). Luckily, I work mostly at home, so a) no one sees them twice and b) I can rotate them with my favorite baggy olive sweats and long-sleeve t so they have time to air out. Unfortunately, I have to go back to my daughter's school for some networking garbage again tomorrow and am going to have to come up with something else.
3. I am feeling a little uncared for as neither my daughter nor my bf has noticed either of the things above (and the leg hair's been going on for aaaages). At least, they haven't commented on it. You'd think they'd be a *little* bit worried...

in all of this the thing I notice first is Bobby and nair. What were you thinking, man? I think I have given up on the whole leg shaving thing. Without fail, every singly time i try and land up nicking my legs so badly that the skirt becomes a moot point. Just slather some wax on me please. [sorry for the TMI.]
I am sure you looked lovely KD *warm smile*

You see? To everything there is a purpose!! ;)
LoL @ Shelagh! I bet you got pretty legs, kd! Be proud!
There's one way to get around a dress code: Be your own boss.
I could see you running Ventura's hippest Internet Cafe. All you need are some cheap computers and an espresso machine. One good frivolous lawsuit (slipping on a wet floor? sexual harassment?) and you'll have the startup money. Wouldn't it be nice to drink coffee and surf the internet all day?
And heck, you could sell franchises once it takes off. All the Surreally people could buy franchises and we could all just sit around and drink coffee and surf the internet. Oh wait, that's what most of us probably do all day anyway...
yeah, i hate having to look presentable just to make a living. what's wrong with people?
omigod... the surreally cafe idea is so US! let's do it!
I get totally fixated on the "I love this pair of pants, I only want to wear them all week."
I should learn to just buy three of the same pair of everything...
No no, never use a man's razor. Much strife.
Get yourself one of those electric ones, they rock.
From one who has nicked herself too many times...
I fear Nair. Probably for no reason, but I do.
