Well, if I was worried about what career path was in store for me at my age, it's all been worked out for me. A bearded lady in the circus! Done! My kids would fit in really well. My son is quite acrobatic and my daughter loves animals. I'm sure there'd be something there for them to do plus I believe they home school the younger children. Sorted.

What started out as one or two chin hairs (like the Wicked Witch of the West), has now developed into quite the goatee. I often like to fondle my chin while I wait for the traffic light to turn green and try to remove the offending 'one or two' chin hairs but just recently it was feeling a little more 'hairy' than it usually did. Upon closer inspection in the bathroom mirror my fears were confirmed. The beginning of a blonde beard. What the heck?
You start off this pubescent rollercoaster with the hormones taking over your body and now as the hormones change yet again, they start to turn you into a man? I'm figuring I can just ignore it and keep my chin close to my chest if I ever have to talk closely to anyone. I could look into different hair removal options or maybe I could just let it grow. You too can have a bit of fun with Pizap.com. Maybe I'll be able to teach my son how to shave after all!
I'm hoping that my dear friend Nee from Nee Sayer's blog is talking about the letter 'b' in her "Monday's Minutia" linky party. If not, I'm linking up anyway. A place to help celebrate the mundane & make the most out of every day minutiae!
I have the tweesers in the car too - better light for finding stray ones....how come no-one tells you- "Oh and by the way - one day you will grow a beard??"....
ReplyDeleteHHAHA! You crack me up Anne. My nana used to call them wisdom threads. So much wisdom it started to come out her chin (or something like that!) Thanks so much for linking up xxx
ReplyDeleteUmmm ... hello ladies? Chin hairs come after gray hairs, these are followed by a mustache, white eyebrow hairs and then white nasal passages hairs and if you are a guy you can also count on excessive ear canal hairs. Tweezers will work for a while on a few chin hairs but eventually you will graduate to using an electric shaver or the same razor blade shaver you use on your legs. You will be shaving daily, just like a man. Let me warn you also that your white eyebrow hairs will grow in in places you've never had eyebrow hairs before. They do this on purpose because they can hide better in those spots until they get really long so everyone but you can see them. The most challenging are the white nasal passages hairs, because these suckers really hurt if you pluck them with tweezers! So you will find that it becomes necessary to invest in one of those small men's groomer appliances which luckily is small enough to fit in your make up drawer. If the No No came with an attachment for nasal hairs I'd spend the $200 & buy one! So far we don't need to worry about ear canal hair, but then again I can't see inside my ear canal. Crap! Now I'm gonna have to ask somebody to check for me! Listen, can we keep this just between the 3 of us? Thanks! Happy plucking! :D
ReplyDeleteI choose to not look in mirrors too closely. At least they are blonde Anne!! xx
ReplyDeleteAnne...you have am laughing! Be so glad you are blonde! I have seen some women who have dark hair and their beards and mustaches are much harder to hide. I have a couple of those hairs....it's amazing how they really aren't hairs but actually wires growing out of your chin! ;)
ReplyDeleteThere should be a book, things no one tells you about being 40. Welcome to the chin hair club, now you need to go and buy about 5 pairs of tweezers so they can be in various bags at all times!!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking blog by the way, I came over from Dr Bron's linky :)
