Eyebrows…and other weird thoughts for today!

Ladies, seriously we need to talk…
Eyebrows, we all have them, sort of, in many shapes and forms and for those of us who began to search the idea of tweezing/shaving our brows in the 1970’s (if your in that era don’t be ashamed, we all discovered tweezers and the flicker razor!). Now we are older, and have been through many decades of changes in eyebrows. For those of you who are like me, now in my 50’s and it is obviously apparent what decade is mine, by the lack of brow. Yes my loves, when the 80’s started rocking the full brow like Madonna and Brooke Sheilds I could not recover from my pencil thin brows of the 70’s. They did come back a little, but not enough to really make a difference and for those of you who have seen many photos of me sporting nice stylish brows, let me just say they do make some remarkable products to allow you to produce brows that are believably beautiful in photos and at great distance (I myself recommend at least 6 feet!). That being said, at the age that I am I have since made the “change” of life…praise menopause ladies, no more tampons, pads, or late night midol runs that your hubby didn’t mind at all as he knew those miraculous little pills would soon knock your crazy butt out! (or was that just me?). Although you no longer have visits from your little friend, your monthly bill, the crimson wave, etc…no more pmsomgthisisonecrazybitch days (mine toward the end were about 6 hours long, followed by a week of isthispoorwomanevergoingtostopcrying! Yep, as I still am was one rollercoaster of insanity all along! However, menopause while it has its plusses, also has a few drawbacks, and by no means are these little things. This brings me to eyebrows. Although way over tweezed, they were not half bad since I barely had to tweeze now because they just didn’t grow back, except in the middle, damn unibrow always trying to make a come back! Enter menopause, now not only are those hairs not growing back, but a whole new crop has risen below where my natural brows were pre-tweezing, like down on my damn eyelid. If that isn’t bad enough, to add insult to injury we now have a obvious moustache and goatee growing. While at the farm I noticed how much Brayleigh and I had similar smiles, I didn’t notice until I got home how much our chins looked alike too! I would say that at least men loose hair and then grow it back in weird places like back and ears. But who cares about back hair, I love my fuzzy bear! But ears, ewwww that’s just nasty so since men don’t care and we’re the ones who have to see it, we just got the shit sandwich didn’t we. I mean we have periods, pap smears, mammograms, colonoscopies, menopause, hot flashes, night sweats, hair loss, weird hair growth, do I need to go on. And men, they lose hair, get weird hair, colonoscopy if you can drag them there, and the all mighty prostate exam (like I said, if you can drag them there!). I have threatened many times (I believe every hot flash has brought this threat) for a prostate exam, of course Jim just chuckles knowing this is an empty threat as I’m a pushover, and I couldn’t move him any easier than I could push our truck while it’s in park. So, this really had no point except that I had weird thoughts about eyebrows today…did I get off point a bit or what! LOL
