Don’t Get Any Body Hair in the Pasta!

Last night, Pharmie and I spent 2 hours making homemade pasta for the College of Visual Arts Triathlon Club. (Four students are coming over tonight for a “pasta feed” in preparation for their first sprint triathlon tomorrow!!)

Rolling out some dough

Drying racks 2 and 3


Ready for the fridge (for eating tonight)


Ready for the freezer (for eating later)

Then, as the title of this post implies, I went upstairs to remove a little excess body hair. Well, just my leg hair. I THOUGHT about leaving it just like this (kinda like a “racing stripe”):

But I kept going.

One leg done


Both legs done


Shaving

I learned a few things last night:

- My leg hair makes my legs look much tanner than they really are...
- ...therefore, my legs now look really pale.
- I have very unattractive legs.
- I’m not good at shaving behind my knees.

Now, I’m off to clean our bikes, get a haircut, and pick up the house a little. I’m meeting with Sarah, Hannah, Evan, and Trent (the CVA Tri Club members racing tomorrow) this afternoon, and we’ll go check out the race site and pick up our packets. Then, a pasta feed tonight. I’ll be back with photos from that later. Then, WE RACE TOMORROW!!

Tonight when we’re eating pasta, I’ll share all your great comments and words of wisdom from the previous post. Thank you all SOO MUCH for taking the time to leave such meaningful comments for my group of students! I KNOW they’ll really appreciate it! Some of your quotes and thoughts are perfect for them to be remembering! Thanks everyone!!
