chops

last november B told me he was going to grow a mustache/beard for no shave november

"cool" i said. cause i'm a supportive wife and all.

when december rolled around he dropped the beard but kept the stache.

"cool" i said. cause remember, i'm supportive.

he said he just needed to keep it until christmas, get a good pic to send his brother, and then he'd bid it adieu. but by the time christmas rolled around i was hooked. i love his stache. he looks so distinguished, like Clark Gable. so i said yay to facial hair. in fact, if his facial hair growing skills were up to me i'd opt for the full lumberjack look: a manly luscious thick beard. {but i hear those who can grow such beards usually have loads of hair elsewhere. so i suppose i am grateful.}

being the supportive wife i am, i got him this book:

and i think it gave him some bad ideas....

for example, last week, after a few days of growth he did this:

not. cool.

i know it sounds dramatic but it was hard to look at him. chops? i kept thinking of ken from Freaks and Geeks. yuck.

after a night of hesitant kisses from me

he shaved the chops, kept the stache

but only after he got a decent pic.

to which i said i'd post, print ONE and delete forever from my computer.

i accept hearty mustaches and lumberjack beards

i say no to just about everything else.

facial hair.

what are your feelings?
