Sasquatch

I love it when I hear girls complain about their hairy legs. 

Or when I'm with a girl wearing shorts and I love when she's all "Ugh, don't look at my legs. I haven't shaved today." So naturally, I look. And 9 times out of 10, I laugh and say, "Oh honey, you're cute." And then I proceed to show her my legs. 

See, I'm not very big on the whole let's-remove-every-inch-of-hair-on-your-body-because-you're-a-girl-and-girls-shouldn't-have-hair thing. It's not that I don't like the way my legs feel and look when they are hairless, it's just that I am so dang lazy. Seriously. 

For me, the average length of time that passes between leg shavings is 2 months. The longest I've gone (that I can remember) is 5 months. In the summer, I will shave as often as once a month. I know, high maintenance, right?

And I know what all my lady friends are thinking, "Ew! Girl! Aren't you concerned that someone will see your disgusting fuzz stumps and be totally disgusted by you and your inhygienic ways?!"

Ladies, allow me to let you in on a secret: 

Most people are not observant enough to notice when my legs are hairy! (And yours too, probably)

Trust me, if I can wear a knee length skirt to church without making anyone throw up with legs like this: 
 

Then I'm pretty sure you can get away with shorts and a week of stubble.

What's new?

Hello my darlings!

With my triumphant return to the blogosphere I have decided to give you all a special treat. (AKA: I feel bad for abandoning you so to make it up I'm forcing you to read the random crap that comes out my brain)

I have been getting lots of fan mail from my adoring fans asking me to give an update about my amazing, exciting life. (AKA: my mom has been asking why I haven't written anything recently)

So to quell the endless outpourings of love and adoration from my followers (AKA: 1 text from my mom), I present to you:

The Top 5 New Things In My Life Right Now
1. I am now a full grown, working woman. I got a job at the same clinic I volunteered with over the summer. I love it so, so much. I get to do exercises with people everyday and I have great co-workers. 

2. My collection of dress pants has grown from 2 pairs to 4. As a result of my new job, naturally. I'm sure it will continue to expand as time goes by. My favourite pair is the red ones I got from Anthropologie for 7$. A steal of a deal! 

3. I am volunteering as a coach for the rugby team at one of the local high schools here in GP. The group of girls I'm working with are really fun, but most of them are also very new to the sport which is certainly a bit of a challenge!

4. Joe and I have booked tickets to go to Hawaii in May! We are very excited about it and can't wait to go. When we get back, we will also go down to Lethbridge for... 

5. My convocation! I got my letter in the mail telling me that I have enough credits to graduate! It was a very exciting day at the mailbox for me.

Be sure to stay tuned for the next week to a month for my next exciting update!
