Yesterday, I came to the realization that my legs are(not) super sexy. They may be a little on the prickly side. They may cut your hand when you touch them. Why? Why would a woman let her legs get like this. Well, here's why. We live in a trailer (AKA Mobile home) and our hot water heater SUCKS. It's horrible. Our hot water lasts about 15 minutes. Showers are taken in that time limit or you'll get slammed in the back of the head with ICE COLD WATER. It isn't a gradual fall from warm to cold either. Oh no..It's that feeling like you've jumped from the hot tub into the pool. I know everyone's done that at least once in their life. It's a shock to your body.
So, reason number two makes reason number one better. I'm just plain lazy man. I don't want to waste valuable shower time on all hair removal remedies. The only person aside from myself that sees my legs all the time is my husband, and in all honesty, I could care less if he thinks my legs resemble that of an apes. I just started showering regularly thanks to Grayson's awesome new sleep schedule, so I'm going to stand and relax in my warm shower instead of rush and cut the crap out of myself while shaving. Maybe I'll sing every once in awhile. Usually something I remember from high school. Mostly "The Water Is Wide". When my shower is done, I congratulate myself on a well performed concert, and continue on my way.
Do I feel bad for not shaving my legs every time I shower? Heck no. I'd much rather enjoy actually getting a warm shower. My armpits are suitable for tank top season, which it is not, but still, they are always suitable. You never know when it's going to get tropical up in here. Which it isn't, because I live in Wisconsin, because it's February, and because there is snow covering my front lawn. So, until it really does decide to get tropical up in here, I think I'll continue keeping my armpits suitable and my legs not so suitable. Hubby can complain all he wants, but I don't see him taking sharp objects to his face.

Most winters my legs resemble that of a wooly mammoth as well, but not because of the hot water heater tanking on me. Mostly because I'm incredibly lazy and my husband doesn't complain. I have tried this year though.
If your husband really minded he could always invest in an electric.
Now that would be a Valentine's gift LOL!
Girl, I'm too lazy to shave my legs. It happens like once every other week! I swear someday(when I win the lottery) I'm going to get it all lasered off!
I've only been shaving my legs twice a week since Flynn was born - and its the middle of summer here in Oz!
You & me both. lol
I was actually kind of glad that the FL weather was too chilly for shorts. Wyo has made me super lazy, as far as leg grooming goes.
