Those that have a Weak Stomachs Don't Read!

So I have been debating on whether or not I should share this blog! But I decided to because I am not really embarrassed by it! Once again if you have a weak stomach or hate hair legs you should stop reading! So I have always hated shaving my legs and through college I always wondered who looks at legs and decided that it was socially unexceptable to keep them in their natural state of hair! But I conformed! I shaved my legs (at most twice a week during the summer and once a week during the winter for church)! So  sometime around last fall around October or maybe September I decided to conform no more! I think what did it is that I had bought some really good tights and didn't need to shave for church anymore! I am not a shamed so feel free to judge I don't care! As I explained to the nurse when I went to the hospital for a proceedger (wow have fun with that word-that as close as I could get), no one shaved their legs before 1920s  maybe even the 1930s so I don't know why I had to do it because they started too! I also went on to say how it was a sign of conformity to the man! I really don't believe in doing things just because everybody else does, sometimes it means not watching popular shows, reading popular books, and not shaving your legs! Well many of you know that I just got back from a vacation to California! i know you are thinking Melissa that's gross! but no worries I decided to conform to the man once again and shaved my legs before I went on the trip! Which leads to the meat of this post! This has to be one of the funniest things that I have done!  You can imagine how long my leg hairs where because I didn't shave them for probably over 6 months! One word! Man! So how do you go about this because a normal razor would be wasted and dull with one swipe! So in comes my Mother and her genus ideas! I stood in a pizza box in the middle of the kitchen! Yes folks a pizza box from pizza hut and she used hair clips to trip my legs hair so that I could shave normally!  Oh gravy it was so funny! I laughed the whole time! Why am I sharing this with you! Well I make a blog book for my posterity and they will read this and says man our Grandma was crazy but she sure is awesome an individual. Or if there is no posterity for me to look at when I loose my mind, and one day I will read this post and say yes for six months I did stick it to the man and was part of my own counter culture! Then I will laugh because I will remember how funny and clever I was when I wrote this post!
