Swarthy

Matt had to shave on Wednesday. For work.

He was working witha class 4 hazardous substance...jet fuel additive, I think?

Whatever it was, he had to wear a full hazmat suit, repirator, etc. In order for it to have a full seal.


So he called me after he finished working and told me the whole story - ending with "so I had to shave..."
He knows how much I love his goatee, so he wanted to warn me. Strange to be attatched to facial hair, I know - but I really think it's cute on him.


He came home, and I was expecting it, but it was still a shock. He looks like a different person! I'm not the only one to think so, either. Asher was very wierded out by daddy's new look, and Tessa commented on it so many times that she finally got told to knock it off!

I think he started to have his feelings hurt, that everyone was so bothered by his shave. I told him it would be the same as if I chopped all my hair off! It would just be different.

I also told he should be grateful that I like a swarthy man - because he's a very swarthy man! He agreed.
I should have taken a picture of him then, but I didn't think about it.

Now it's Saturday, and he's got that 5 o'clock shadow that I love so much. He also had his hair cut yesterday, which vastly improved his appearance. So it's not quite the same...but here he is - sans goatee:
