As much as I like pretty things, I’ve always prided myself at looking past the surface and really seeing what’s lurking beneath. I read the back cover of books, I make friends based on personality, and I think all dogs are adorable.
But a recent change in my life has changed all that. You see, now that I have bangs, I seem to have completely forgotten about my eyebrows!
Between my bangs and my glasses it somehow slipped my mind that that my tweezers have a reason for existing.
Have you ever overlooked something that could be embarrassing if discovered?
All the time… I do that all the time. Shaving nick, and I scratch it open just to have a trickle of blood on my face when I’m at a customer’s site, Splash my pants when washing my hands and later realize (after everyone else saw me) that it looks like I missed going to the bathroom… all the time.
Oh yeah, I’m the queen of dribbling water down the front of myself.
Not quite the same thing, but I once walked to my mailbox, a daily routine I share with a few neighbors. We wave and go about our business sorting the junk from the bills. This one particular day, everyone seemed to be in on a joke I hadn’t been privy to, laughing and giggling as they sorted their mail.
I looked through mine to see what was so funny, but there was just the regular stuff. When I got inside the door, my wife asked, “You didn’t go out like that, did you?”
” What’s wrong?” I asked in return.
It was at this point I looked to notice that I was naked. Sometimes nudists overlook what they are wearing.
LOL!! Why does this not surprise me.
I don’t tweeze – Might need to trim after re-seeing Andy Rooney’s eyebrows over the weekend.
Trimming is a perfectly acceptable substitution.
I used to pull big eyebrow hairs. Then I started to notice the ones I pulled out were coming back even bigger. Now I have Ernest Borgnine Eyebrows. So I have given in to the fact that I have big eyebrows(Hey Owen has big eyebrows and you say he is cute).
As for things overlooked things that might be embarrassing, wow, I would need to write a set of books about the size of most encyclopedias. But then again, not so much overlooked as not worth looking over. I have given into letting things be the way they will be.
I figured you might have a few stories to share. 🙂 I know the gray ones come back thicker, but not ALL of them.
Cute post. Tweezers are my friends. Fortunately, I am blonde so hairs that show up on my face aren’t necessarily noticeable. However, I have learned, after drinking a blueberry smoothie, it is often a good idea to check in the mirror to see if any blueberry skins are stuck in my teeth. I’ve also learned that I can’t rely on my husband to point those things out to me. O.o
I will always point out the blueberries in your teeth. 🙂
I love that I have blond hair because you really don’t see much of the hair, but it’s still THERE.
LOL…. bangs are great. Cheaper than botox too 😉
That what my sister keeps telling me. 😉
I wax my brows so it happens as regularly as my haircuts.
I have a tweezer addiction.
In the summer I am a the queen of having deodorant marks on my tank tops. And sometimes I dribble tooth paste down my shirt too…
I had to back off the tweezers. It was a close call in my twenties.
I switched to roll-on deodorant — no more white marks!
