You all get them. I know you do. I used to bleach them. Then I tried waxing. I'd rather go through child birth - seriously. So when I saw the little personal trimmers at Walmart for only $9.99 I decided to give it a whirl. My mom had successfully used one for years so I didn't think this was risky business.
I was wrong.
This little device managed to turn what used to just be annoying little mustache hairs into dark black man hairs. Just yesterday, in the car, John looked over and squinted at my face. He seemed to be zooming in on the mustache area so I was immediately concerned. "What is it?" I asked as I quickly pulled down the mirror. And there it was. That obnoxious little black hair flowing in the breeze of the air conditioner in all its glory. Of course, I didn't have any tweezers or scissors or hedge trimmers there in the car. So I had to invite that thing to dinner with us. Stupid little hair.
The worst part is that when I woke up this morning, his friends had arrived. That's ok. I was home now, with all my weapons of warfare. So I won. (The battle, not the war.)
HA. i feel your pain, girl. i just waxed for the first time when landon was coming home from nicaragua. i'm NEVER doing that again. terrible. i need to bleach though -- as we speak. stupid hair.
ReplyDeleteMy problem is a little different. I don't have a mustache. I have one single chin hair. It is black and I pluck it out.
ReplyDeleteYou have just confirmed that once you have one, more will follow. Thanks for ruining my fantasy that this would be the only one. I will use your word...boo to you.
:)
YOu totally crack me up. I have to say that I find a teeny bit of comfort in knowing that there is an imperfection on you because I swear every time I have seen you, you appear to have just strolled from the pages of like "Perfect Mom" magazine.
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful. Don't let a few hairs get you frazzled.
Also, just so everyone knows, while I don't have mustache hair I do have a completely random black hair that grows from my belly. Yes, Troy loves that. Also, hairy toes. Can't shave 'em fast enough!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I just wish I could be a smelly, hairy man.
i can barely post through the tears of laughter coming out my eyes! you guys keep me sane!
ReplyDeleteoh, since we're sharing, i have a few chest hairs i shave almost daily.
and i'm just waiting for jaronxaveryxano's comment to this one!
While we're sharing...I tried using that Nad's stuff. I thought I liked it until I was even-ing out my eyebrows and inadvertantly took the whole eyebrow off! Now I don't care how much I despise it, I just use the good ol' tweezers! :)
ReplyDeletewhat? Are my comments mean or something? no really - you guys have to tell me if I seem mean...
ReplyDeleteI actually read this post this morning and thought, "I don't think there is anything I can add to that."
Good clean entertainment that post was.
do you ever notice that they just don't lay down. no they have to stick straight out as it they weren't conspicuous enough. i just tweeze them out. i was never courageous enough to try anything else for fear that they would gather more allies against me.
ReplyDeletehere's to the almighty tweezer!!!!!
well i for one love the wax. every 6 weeks i can't wait to lay back at my hairdresser's and have her remove all those unsightly hairs for another 6 weeks. yes she even gets the horrible chin hair. the one i can't see until its 6 inches long.
ReplyDeleteokay, girls, i'm sorry to tell ya'll this but they never go away and as you get older they appear in even more random places. besides those that i care not to mention because someone already said this was clean, i have a lonnnng one growing from my chin that is blonde or gray, i choose blonde, so i can't see it until i'm in the sunlight, which is about the same time everyone else sees it. anyway it reminds be of a witch in a fairy tale. i have jody pluck it out. as long as hairs don't start growing out of my ears and nose! please tell me they won't!
ReplyDeleteyour comments are never mean, A.!
