Creating 2015—Day 61:   Old Man Eyebrow Hair

I have an old man eyebrow hair on my left eyebrow!  WTF?  I only noticed it a few days ago.  It is coarse and wire-y and long and it has clearly been in the works for a while now.  Besides the obvious—that my brows are in desperate need of some serious grooming—I clearly have too much testosterone or something manly coursing through my system.  I mean, this brow hair should be on Martin Scorsese not me!

I didn’t think older women got old man eyebrows.  Did you?  I think of the grandma type figures in my life barely having any eyebrows, or for that matter that much hair in general.  I did not see this brow situation coming!  So, I sit in amazement and confusion at my magical old man eyebrow hair and how it proudly protrudes off of my forehead in defiance, no matter what I slather on it to tame it down.  Now I know how Alfalfa from The Little Rascals felt.  I’m used to the occasional random beard hair on my chin I have to use needle nose pliers to pluck out, but this is going too damn far!  I need to get to the source of this unexpected, rogue brow strand and fix it.

Until tomorrow, create from what you have…the unexpected hair.
