on friday we went to eamon's daycare graduation. it was fine. i had hoped that they would say which schools the kids were all going to, to help us connect with the parents, but they didn't do that. anyway, while we were there, brendan noticed a woman staring at my unshaven legs. so he decided to obviously stare at here while she stared at me, just so she was aware of him noticing. he was quite baffled why it was so noteworthy to her. he said "it's like a beard, that's just what happens when you don't shave". so i pointed out to him that there is a difference. women are not given the choice if they want to shave or not. it's pretty much required for women to shave. and the funny thing is that it's women who notice. the only time that i ever feel weird about my non-conforming hairy legs is around other women. and that's super weird to me. why should i spend (waste) my time shaving, and my money on hair-removal products for the sake of other women?!?! there's no good reason.

on another note, after a discussion about showers at shannon's birthday bash, i decided to give evening showers a try. it will definitely simplify my mornings. and i feel all clean and cozy post shower.
