There are aspects of myself that I absolutely LOVE and then there are some things that I can’t stand.<\/p>\n
The fact that I have dark hair and light skin – I’m okay with that. The fact that I have hair on my upper lip – not so cool with that – and because of the previous mentioned dark hair and light skin it means that it’s obvious that I have a mustache.<\/p>\n
I don’t shave or bleach, but I do wax the suckers right off of there. Yes, it’s hurts like a bugger, but that’s the price I pay for looking a little less manly. As much as I’m into natural stuff, I’m not so into going “au naturale” that I’m okay with my mustache. Once He – lets call him Harry – gets to the point where when I look in the mirror all I can see is this black hairy caterpillar on top of my lip….then pretty much everything else takes second priority.<\/p>\n
For example, this morning……Siah’s early morning wake up call for a little mommy and me time was at 4:25am. But, we’re talking about a kid who previously (as in 2 months ago) was still waking up 2-3 times a night so I’m happy with the straight through ’till early morning routine. When He fell back asleep – I WAS AWAKE. I could have gone and run a marathon. Well, not technically, but who’s getting technical at 4:30 in the morning – SERIOUSLY!<\/p>\n
So, I did think about getting up, but quickly dismissed, hugged my pillow and went back to sleep. I needed to tak e a shower this morning….it had gotten beyond the I can fake this with a rag and some soap and LOTS of hairspray. I actually HAD to take a shower….and I woke up after 7am……it was 7:05am to be precise.<\/p>\n
I took off like a banshee ripped through the shower and then began the ardous task of doing my hair. I like my hair to look good and I typically hate it the first day that I wash it. It needs to be a little bit dirty to REALLY WORK! So, I moussed it. I blow dried it. I added a little hairspray and then curled it with my fabulous bendy curlers….and while doing my hair….Harry just kept taunting me. Every time I’d try to look in the mirror to see what I was doing with the curlers, Harry would wave at me and kept getting it the way. It was really hard to concentrate with all his distraction techniques.<\/p>\n
I finally had enough. I rolled up the last two curlers by feel and opened up the medicine cabinet to try to find the “Harry Removal Kit”. Jon asked me what I was doing and then tried really hard to oh-so-casually mention that, “Wouldn’t a tiny bit of hair look better than a giant red welt on top of my lip?”<\/p>\n
Nope! Really it wouldn’t, and this stuff that I had was really good and there shouldn’t be too much of a red welt, and even if there was – I could handle that better than Harry gettin’ all excited and waving around making a big scene.<\/p>\n
And so I did it.<\/p>\n
We said goodbye to Harry today. He will be gone for about 6 weeks – maybe even 3 months if I’m lucky. He always manages to find his way back, but for now……things are good.<\/p>\n
And this kit<\/a>…..honestly….THE BEST. I went out and asked Jon if he could see and ANGRY RED WELT! and his response was that it was difficult to see with all the make up I had covered it up with. What he didn’t know was that “you never wax and then clogg up all the pores with make up – that’s just begging for a zitty mess.” I had no make up on….I’m trying to figure out if I needed to be angry with him for saying that I had a crapload of make up caked on my face BUT…..I’m just so happy to be Harry-less that pretty much nothing can spoil my good mood.<\/p>\n Well, the only thing that puts a teeny-tiny damper on my excitement is that we are going House hunting today and well…frankly….it’s FREAKIN’ ME OUT!<\/p>\n How do we know if it’s the right one? What if we make a bad choice? What if we have creepy neighbors? What if the house is a…….. lemon – I know that’s what you call a bad car…what do you call a bad house?<\/em> I am not one to look forever and ever and ever and ever and EVER! I can make anything work, but this is a HIUGE decision…….AWWWWWKKKKKK!<\/p>\n So, I’m just going to go and look and pretend that we are house shopping for someone else. Yah! That’s what i’m gonna do. I’ll just pretend. How’s that for some awesome coping skillz? I ROCK!<\/p>\n I’ll come back and report on how cruddy the houses were later or not….oh…and I’ve been stress eating this week and there is NO WAY that I’ve lost weight this week and pretty much the only way that I could lose weight is if I lost a limb…and frankly I’m not wiling to sacrifice one of those at this point and so I’m trying to ride out this week making smart choices and aiming for next Saturday. I’ll still post the damage so ya all can see what stress does to me. It’s AWESOME! in a totally not awesome way.<\/p>\n Alright! I’m gone, but I’ll probably tweet<\/a> during the day – ya know…if you’re interested in seeing what we’re up to and what amazing pieces of work fit within the confines of our mortgage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are aspects of myself that I absolutely LOVE and then there are some things that I can’t stand.
