The blog it is a changin....

My original purpose of this blog was to be like a scrapbook of sorts for my kids.  Unfortunately, my head now spins with random and purposeless (is that even a word) thoughts that I feel I should share.  It happens when I am  in the shower (see example below), when i am driving my truck, when something stupid happens and i have some sort of remark for it.  It is driving me nuts!  Sooooooooooooo, in an effort to keep myself from going crazy, I am going to just post whatever the heck I want to on here.  I mean, c'mon, it is my blog, right?!?!  Doug and Corey both want me to make it public...I think Corey thinks he will become something like a rock star and Doug just thinks I am a flake and sees no reason why he should keep this little gem of a wife, with her wonderful thoughts, to himself!  So, I am considering that.  Like I said here, I get a lot of material from the peeps i live with!  Apparently, I get a lot of material from inside my head as well.

WARNING!  The following excerpt came from my within my head while i was showering!

So, while I was shaving my legs in the shower this morning a memory was jogged in my head.  I was taken back to my freshman year of high school, a looooong time ago, when a few friends and i decided that we would rebel against the status quo and NOT shave our legs.  I know, crazy right?!?!  It was winter time and we just didn't feel like doing it anymore.  We were "burn our bras" kinda gals!  Here's the kicker.  I went to a Catholic high school that required us to wear uniforms.  Those uniforms consisted of a white shirt, a weskit or sweater, and a skirt!  Yes, a skirt.  So, when one doesn't shave one's legs when one wears a skirt, others see the result of one's rebellion!  So, after a week or so I couldn't take it anymore.  One of my friend, on the other hand, outwitted, outlasted, and outplayed me!  WOW, her legs were nasty and were a topic of conversation for many, many other freshman!  It was almost like a freak show.  Students got up close to look at them, although you really didn't need to be that close after a couple of weeks, and people touched them just to feel what they were like after she let her hair grow out for that long.  I honestly don't remember how this ended, other than she eventually shaved her legs.  We didn't have a big ceremony or anything for the shaving, but i wish we would have.  We could have posted it on YouTube and let everyone see her with her sickle.  Wait!  Who am i kidding?  We didn't have YouTube back then!!!  *sigh*  I am sure we would have had thousands of hits though!

So, that is a perfect example of a pointless thought that enters my head and i feel i could write about.  There are many, many others (what i think of snow days, i really want a catchy blog title, my broken dishwasher, etc.) but I will just leave it at this one today.   Maybe tomorrow I will go back to my original purpose of the blog...then again, maybe not!
