As you know, it's winter. On top of this I'm single. This all equates to unshaven legs. What is the point if there is no one else's comfort or impressions to take into consideration?
Anyway, yesterday I go off to gym and meet my friend John there for a bit of a workout. I go into the change room all amped and ready. I open my gym bag, pull out my gym pants and look at them wondering where the rest of them went. Turns out I packed short (only used in summer) gym pants. Not so bad… until I remembered I haven’t shaved my legs in a few weeks. Aaarrggghhh!
And I'm not giving up my parking spot at the front of the gym to go home and get another pair! So I suck it up and put them on. Even I was shocked by the state of my legs! I also decided to leave my normal black socks on instead of changing into little gym socks… anything to limit the amount of leg sticking out! So yes, I looked like a huge tosser! I'm too old to carry off a 'grungy' look!
But the worst part is that a girl (I think she was a girl… Amazon woman rather) walks up to a locker behind me and I notice she has a moustache and smoother legs than me! Oh the shame!
In the end I decided to draw more attention to my boobs hoping no one would notice my legs. I think it worked!
Needless to say, when I got home I shaved! It was time….
And in other news, one of my best friends, Sue, got engaged last night! It's been coming and I'm so happy for her!
I will soon be making my own version of "27 Dresses"….

Drama, drama, drama!
Why do people need drama? What is the point of making things complicated and seemingly out of control?
I know we are all prone to a bit of drama, (I have been known to get quite dramatic when i tell people I am going to start riding a bicycle to work because of the high petrol prices) after all it makes life a bit more exciting and sometimes helps get your point across, but ALL the time? Doesn’t it get tiring?
We all know people like this who blow things way out of proportion. Is it just me or does it get very old very quickly? Is it worth the effort?
I once knew someone who thought everything was a huge drama. Almost every word that came out of her mouth was either negative or venting with a lot of huffing and puffing thrown in. The smallest thing, good or bad, would be blown out of proportion into a monster of a problem, centring around her. She would go on for days about this alleged injustice that had the potential to ruin her entire life or until the next bit of unfairness came along. Such a cruel world!! A classic example of making mountains out of mole hills. And no, it’s not about you! (Watch out for sarcastic comments)
I think it's just easier to just go with the flow and vent and perform if the need really arises, like when you drive into the back of someone by mistake or lose a toe in a freak skiing accident. Now that's drama worthy!
Sigh… I just don’t get it… it makes me tired just thinking about it.
