Metrosexual Sunday.
Mar 11th, 2007 by B.
Found this to-do list scribbled on the back of an envelope on Jim’s nightstand this morning:
Sunday 11/03:
Check wiring harness
Fix Rob’s laptop plug
Pull cash out of atm
Shave legs
You know it’s bad when your husband’s legs are smoother than yours…


Truth is, I leave the stubble, but anything longer than that… Well, it’s just too much. And it doesn’t stop at the legs. If that were the case I’d have more time for the seemingly manly things in my sunday. Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.. LOL
I bought a Wahl hair trimmer last month … lots of attachments, adjustable shoe so that you can go from 3/16ths stubble to skin-close without a guard. Nice heft, relatively quiet and efficient.
So does B. still have to help with some of those hard-to-reach places ?
Of course, but I try to keep her involvement to a minimum. Especially if she’s in a questionable mood. Clippers have been known to remove skin too… Personally, I have a Remington cordless with ceramic blades. So many attachments too, but I only use no guard or the shortest attachment. the rest sit unused in the case.
Considering his way of asking for help consists of walking in nude, throwing a razor in my general direction while bending over, grabbing his ankles, and yelling “go deep!”… is it any wonder my mood might get questionable?
In the words of 70’s wonderband, 10cc… the things we do for love. heh.
Until I get enough time to take a REAL bath, I am boycotting shaving my legs. I wonder how long until Kevin says something? Hmm…
I gave up shaving my legs regularly about two years ago. None of the German women I hung around with did it and Rainer didn’t care, so I thought, what am I doing it for? I still shave every once in a while when I want to feel a little more feminine, but mostly I don’t care anymore.
Most of the time I don’t bother shaving, mainly because I wear pants everyday. But, living in Tokyo where women take femininity to statospheric levels, I do sometimes feel a little less than girlie. Which reminds me, I’ve read that it’s very important for Japanese women to maintain their girlishness–which means acting extremely childish at times by screaming, crying, and making absurd demands. Men expect it, and seem to accept it as part of having a “young” wife or girlfriend. Maybe this is true in America, too, but I’ve never noticed it so much as in Japan.
oops, I should have said “stRatospheric” levels! Somehow the missing “r” escaped my notice!
LOL! Happy Monday everyone
I now officially know TOO much about ya’ll!
