my unibrow
I noticed yesterday morning right before leaving the house that I really need to pluck my eyebrows. I am wayyyyyyy past due. And for some reason unknown to me, I didn’t do it last night. But AFTER I left the house today that was all I could think about. So I did what I swore I wouldn’t do and called to make an appointment to have them done. Unfortunately, she can’t fit me in til Friday morning. And all I can think about is how my eyebrows look really bad. I am not looking in the mirror, but I can see them anyway. I am offending myself.
When I go to pluck eyebrows, I sit on the sink like I tell my stepson not to do. I lock the door though, so I don’t get caught doing what I told someone else not to do. Anyway, I sit there and pluck my eyebrows as best as a blind person can. I have tried with my glasses on, but they get in the way. I have tried with my contacts in, but I feel like I am cross eyed. I end up doing it without either. Heaven help me, this has to be dangerous.
Talk about dangerous. My blow dryer has been dying a slow death. The end of the cord where it plugs into the wall is messing up. So when it isn’t in a certain position it doesn’t work. So I will be drying my hair and when I move the dryer to the left of my head, it shuts off. But it isn’t consistent. So I can’t actually tell which way to move it. The last couple of mornings I just move my head and leave the dryer where it is at. Takes talent. I try to figure out how to fix it because I am woman, hear me roar. When I put my hands on the cord end, it is over heating. I just keep angling the cord different til it turns back on. I keep waiting to get zapped.
And I am just lazy. I am a lazy woman. I don’t like to wear makeup. I don’t want to mess with dresses. I don’t like to wear heels because they hurt. I occasionally wear jewelry, but mainly stick to the basics I love. What else is there?
I was reading Pink Piddy Paws and thinking that maybe I should invest in The Real Sex Kittens Handbook, but I am just a book addict. I would just buy the book and read it. I wouldn’t actually do any of it. Probably. I am pretty sure. That is how I run.
I lost my makeup bag over a month ago and just last week I made hubby run out and buy me mascara because I couldn’t find any makeup to wear out on a date with him. He did really well too! He called me from Walgreens (i know) and said, “There is black, blackest black, and darkest black.” I said, “Honey just pick one because I don’t really care. They are all black to me.” I didn’t have the heart to tell him I didn’t have any cheek stuff and I used leftover eye stuff. Although, it looked brand new. And then I threw on some old black eyeliner. I couldn’t find my eyebrow brush either, which is the one thing I used daily. Thank goodness it was dark in the restaurant. I don’t think anyone noticed. And more importantly he didn’t notice. LOL
I swear that this year I am going to start buying heels of some sort. Since I have realized that I can’t change what I wear. Should I say, I won’t change? I like my khakis. I like my long sleeved henleys. I like my Sketcher slip on tennis shoes. I pretty much wear the same thing, but in different colors.
And I think I am learning to be sexy and flirtatious just by laughing at myself. wow that sounded like a stupid comment I have always been so worried about making myself look like a fool. This year, I will look like a fool and be damn proud of it. I recently had a run in with the paparazzi and did at least five really awesome vogue poses. My mother knitted me a new sweater, so I put it on and modeled so hubby could take a picture. Then wanted to faint when I saw how bad I looked. But it is about being happy with who you are, right?
isn’t it???????? hello??????????????
just kidding.
wow, i love to ramble. i forgot what I was talking about.

Yes sweetie.. first things first is loving YOURSELF!! Once that happens, you will start projecting Sex Kitten because your confidence will just show.
Oh.. and don’t worry about the eyebrows… I’m in the same boat and I actually *do* consider myself a Sex Kitten! But… I’ve had such a bad habit of pulling my eyebrows out (nervous habit) that I’ve made a concentrated effort over the last two months to NOT touch them! Now..I’m all bushy and woolly and I don’t get mine waxed until the end of the month.
But you know what? Having them waxed is SO totally worth it because once the “shape” is there for you to follow, it’s so much easier to pluck.
Good luck and warmest sexy kitten wishes!
