Here is a fun aging game you can play with yourself.Take your glasses off so you can get behind them to pluck the stray eyebrows... that you can no longer see because you took your glasses off.
You know it was there dammit, keep trying, pluck, pinch, pluck, pinch, ouch where is that eyebrow hair?
Put your glasses back on and realize that you have been trying to pluck a crowsfeet wrinkle from the edge of your eye.
Go pour yourself a glass of wine and put on sunglasses so no one can see the red marks on the side of your eye.
Thanks to Sue @ Luxe Lanai for the inspiration for this post as it was actually a comment I was leaving on her site.
Now, now, Lori.....that would be me your blogging about ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think we are in the same boat Linda..and parts of it are sinking.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that is so funny and so true! I'm 46 and wearing reading glasses has just hit me in the last two years. Once I realized that my whole forehead was feeling furry. (dont you love that description) Well I had the brilliant idea that I would wear my reading glasses and use my magnifying mirror. Dangit - you can't do both!! The glasses are in the way. I have gotten my eyebrows waxed a few times since then. It hurts!!
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are so bad these days that I haven't a show of seeing a stray bit of eyebrow let alone getting at it with tweezers without my glasses on. For the last couple of years I've had a standing fortnightly appt for threading at the beauty shop next door to work. She only charges me NZ$4 (about US$2) and does a beautiful job. My eyebrows look the best they ever have :-)
ReplyDeletePs I see you've now hit 3000 visitors - congrats!!
Too funny! And I can totally relate! Getting old is a pain.
ReplyDeleteI just make sure my glasses cover my eyebrows. Bangs help, too!
ReplyDeleteSituation under control.
