You're gonna need a chainsaw for that.

When I was in the shower this morning, the sensation of water hitting my skin was a little different than usual.  (Hang in there, I promise this won't be more than you can handle!)  It literally hurt as the water ran over my legs.  When I looked down I swear to you it looked like fur was growing on them.  I don't know what happened to me, but I seriously must have forgotten to shave my legs for about a month.  I don't have super hairy legs and I'm not super religious about shaving in the winter but this went to new levels even for me. I don't know how this escaped my notice!

Fortunately, I was up a little early for work so I could tackle this problem head on.  Unfortunately, the last time I bought razors, I went the cheap route... because it's winter.  I started hacking at my legs, desperately trying to rid them of the redwood forest of growth, and two razors later, I was finally rid of most of the growth from the knees down.  The whole time I was in the shower I kept giggling at a flashback from my teenage years.

My mother and two friends and I decided to bet on who could go the longest without shaving our legs one winter.  I'm pretty sure my mother won- and now I understand why she really didn't care how long she went without shaving!  Sometimes, life just happens and the hair keeps growing.
