08.02.2005 :: Can we talk?
Vacation time should bring lots of time for knitting, don't you think? Not yet. But the week is young. It may happen yet. You never know!
I descended the stairs this morning with morning hair and comfy jammies on to encounter a random teen boy sleeping on my couch. That is what I like about having teenagers, you never know what will happen.
~~~~
It is senior picture time for Bethany. Bethany. My baby. Is getting her senior picture done. You know what this means? She'll probably be graduating then. When did this happen to me? How can children grow so fast? Yesterday she asked if she could get her eyebrows done. You mean as in waxed? Yup. Again,My baby. Eyebrows waxed. So we did. Today we get the hair done. Only trimmed and blow dryed smooth. Nothing fancysmancy. Please. What would her friends think?
But you know, this has all led me to think, I am fortymumblemumble years old and I have NEVER gotten my eyebrows waxed. Perhaps it's time for that. And while we are at it, that pesky upper lip hair that has sprouted. What the frick is up with that, anyway? Are all old women destined to be sporting mustaches?
~~~~
And while we are, yet again, talking randomly I may as well talk about my refrigerator. It is stuffed to the gills. I could not fit one more thing in there if I tried. If you are hungry and need a meal, come on over. I have it. Meat, veggies, pasta, salads, drinks. We seem to have stocked up on everthing. Without even knowing it. I'm sure Andy thinks that there must be some party coming up that he has forgotten about. But truly, there is no good reason for the fridge stuffing. It just happened that way.
And yet, still, the kids will stand there declaring that there is
NOTHING TO EAT!

That's because YOU haven't fixed them anything. What? Lift a finger on their own!?
Get your brows done..it'll be worth doing at least once in your life. And hey, life doesn't look so bad on the far side of 50...it's all good.

I didn't start getting my eyebrows waxed until college. I have since had my lip done a few times. Don't let anyone tell you that once you start having your lip waxed, you have to keep doing it. I just have it done every now and then. It hasn't grown in any differently and most of the time I don't notice it. The chin hairs...those I pluck. Boy, I'm hairy!
As for teenage girls, my baby sister started getting her brows waxed when she was about 15. And then it was a must right before the prom, senior pics, etc.

Sandy, if you are a brow waxing virgin, then you might want to consider Austen (http://www.spasalon.com/austens/). Yes, he is on Newbury Street, in Boston, but he is amazing and well worth the trip. He can set you up and then you can find someone locally to keep it up. And, I think there is a yarn shop within a block or two :-)

Haha, can I just say- you and me both! Good grief, they should teach you how to deal with monobrow and upperlip hairs in school or summat, I have no clue. For that fridge thing, my grandma always said, if you want to put something in, you just have to hold your mouth right.

Heh, senior picture time here too. Only she forgot to make the appt. until today. Lovely.
Random teenaged boy? Well, that's okay depending on which one of the kids he goes with......

I'm sitting here filling out the forms for my son to go to HIGH FRICKING SCHOOL and freaking out. If he were graduating, I'd have to be having a mimosa instead of my morning coffee just to assuage the shock. Get your eyebrows waxed, it's great!

Oh, phew. I thought you were going to say your fridge died. Having it overstocked is not a problem. Having it die IS. Yes, I want to know why I have NO eyebrows, but now I have chin hairs, hm?

I'm starving and we've got nothing. Literally. I'll be there soon. ;-)

Senior pictures? *sniffle* Where on earth does the time go?
I've had my eyebrows waxed once---yowch!! And the upper lip hair...and the lower chin hair....
Oh, maybe that's too much information. ;)
