So, I was at the dollar store today, and they had a bin of tweezers that had a light on the end. What a great idea I thought and threw a pair into my cart. You see, since I turned 36 last year, I have this hair on my chin. I have been pulling it out with my fingers but it usually takes a few days to get it out. I thought for sure this would make the job just that much easier. However, I have come to realize that this item was invented for women like me, who think that they are aging gracefully, but instead, through the little light on the end of a pair of tweezers, are sucked into a world of chin hairs.
CHIN HAIRS!! CHIN HAIRS! I have a multitude of chin hairs. That evil little light caused me to spend over an hour in the bathroom plucking every last little hair out of my chinny chin chin. How in the world did I go out in public with hairs like that? Why didn’t anyone tell me? I know those hairs were not there this time last year. They arrived, I’m sure, at about the same time the hot flashes did. And the night sweats. I asked for tickets to a concert last year for my birthday, instead I got these wonderful reminders from Mother Nature that I am no longer closer to 21 than I am to 50.
On another note, one where I am not so perplexed over my aging process, it seems that my oldest two sons have officially turned into teenagers overnight. I mean, I know they are of age to be classified as teenagers, but they were holding on to their youth..still playing outside with friends. Now conversations tend to be about girls, games and girls. At least they talk to me, I should count my blessings. However, 9 times out of 10, if I give them a fact, they now question whether I am telling them the truth or am I talking out of my ass. Simple things too, like the sky is blue. “Are you sure?” UGH! Not many people are privy to the wisdom in my head, and they question it as if I made it up.
But, I can’t really complain. These kids are the light of my life. They make me laugh, rarely make me cry and seldom make me yell. Like I told Luciano, I can count on one finger the number of times I ever had to raise my hand to them, and they know I won’t ever do it now either…since they laugh at the very idea.
My mind is all over the place today, isn’t it? Perhaps it’s because I have been all over the place today. I had a great time with a couple of friends. We left my three and their two(I say their because they are mother and daughter) at home with a couple of pizzas and video games, and we went out for the afternoon. We had a FABULOUS relaxing lunch and then went and did a little gambling. By the end of the trip, it had only cost $12 for everything. Our lunch, the boys’ lunch, my trip to the dollar store and a personal loan I made earlier so a friend could have cable for his daughter. As well as my many hours playing penny slots. And we each got a box of chocolates too! Now I am just sitting at home(well, laying) watching the Rebels play some basketball. I’m contemplating heading over to Rounder’s for a little video poker tournament, but I might just wait until the 1a.m. Unless I decide that I need to sleep, which I have had two hours over the last 48.
I have to sleep tonight too, as the boys and I are going to take in a hockey game tomorrow. Two rows behind the away team! Got some great seats…since I like to stay as far below the glass as I can. Rebels are going to lose…oh well. Okay, enough rambling, and I am rambling. I’m out. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
