you know how there are some unpleasant tasks that don't seem so bad after all once you just get down to it? plucking eyebrows is not like that. it's as bad--or worse--as you think it's going to be. but once in a while i'm shamed into doing it. if i don't, i look kind of dirty. and not in the cool, where did she get those jeans, kind of way. more like the sad, she could stand to increase the semi-weekly shower quota, way.
for better or worse i didn't get anne hathaway eyebrows or brooke shields eyebrows, where you can donate to locks of love, sculp a dinosaur shrubbery and still have something left to work with. i got the kind where every lash counts. one hasty move and wham! i did it again! one half of my face looks angry and the other half looks like it's asking a question.
fortunately there are only 2 mirrors in my house and i don't have to look at them unless i'm trying to.
this after i basically planned my weekend around plucking the brows, and still didn't do it. i recently heard some girls on NPR talking about how gas prices have driven them to remove their own facial hair, and i sympathized. i too miss the days of quick, cheap NYC waxing. pretty vain?
no, just pretty.

sometimes i know we're sisters. i have been planning to pluck for 2 weeks! i actually did it this weekend though and i'm pretty sure that's why i've had a headache for the last 3 days.
You should write a book. I would read it and tell all my friends to read it too.
Don't worry about the brows. You got great hair. And a cute new cut with cutes in it.
I was thinking as I plucked mine, at least she can see hers.
