Came back, took a shower, put up my hair, put on makeup, put on some jewelry to eat dinner by myself and drink wine out on the porch and watch the sun go down. In some strange way it pleases me to know that I look nice. I don't need someone else to admire me. And it's -really- nice to crawl into a big ol' bed with clean sheets right after shaving and have smooth legs wallow around in fluffy blankets all by myself and not have to worry about kicking anyone or being a blanket hog. Sometimes it's also nice to have grizzly legs once it grows out though. I swear my leg hair's thick enough to actually insulate me.

Now that everyone knows I'm vain, selfish, and self indulgent I'm going to go hide.
Hey, that's cool. To each his/her own. I just think that "most" of the time we do it for the men in our lives or because society says that's what we "should" do. Now that the sun spots are showing from not wearing sunscreen or makeup earlier in life I find myself wanting to cover them with foundation. But if at home alone on the weekends it would be NO makeup for me. I'd just cover the mirrors!
