40

Some people say that forty is the new thirty.  Bullshit.   I didn’t have chin whiskers (excuse me — stray eyebrow hairs) when I was thirty.

I have a fair complexion and can keep it under control.  I’m extremely worried about my thirty-something Greek friends, though.

Edited to add:

Whoa– this post is causing much consternation.  Hasten to the drugstore and purchase some Tweezerman tweezers, a magnifying mirror, and reading glasses — these will be your tools of discovery AND annihilation.  Report back on your findings and the results of your attack.

    Hmm, I am certainly 40 but I don’t have the chin-brows (?) yet, but do have grey hair. In one concentrated streak on one side of my head. I look like I am working towards the “Bride of Frankenstein” look. That’s still cool these days, right?

    Fair skin and blond hair… not a care in the world. Living in a Middle Eastern country full of black-haired, face-waxing women though :)

    I am approaching 40 and have a hate/hate relationship with my chin hairs. They grow thick and long in the blink of an eye. I am constantly rubbing my fingertips over my problem areas to make sure a black, twig like outgrow hasn’t cropped up.

    I am blogging a message a day for 40 days counting down to my 40th birthday. Today is #25. http://www.cracking40.blogspot.com

    I’m saving my money for laser hair removal…sure it’s for me, but my hairless face and other regions will be the gift I’ll give everyone when I’m too old and blind to see or care about all the hair I’ll have growing everywhere.

    I’m already tweezing the hairs that threaten to become a unibrow. I’m sure the chin is next.

    Liz’s last blog post..It’s that time of year again.

    And can someone please explain how those stray eyebrow hairs magically show up overnight!! I swear I Naired ‘em smooth on Tuesday, but by Thursday I’m wishing for a pair of tweezers in the carpool lane. I celebrated my 25th birthday 8 years ago and have been on a downward spiral ever since.

    I have Dutch ancestry with fair skin and hair, am just over 30 and have been yanking those nasty chin buggers out for years already. I must have done many good deeds, because they are none of them going unpunished. 40? I shudder at the thought! Or maybe cry…

    I add my comments to the one above: how do those full-grown hairs crop up 24 hours after a very thorough tweezing?

    Happy Plucking!

    Alltop, confirmation that I kick ass


















    What I'm Reading


    I've never read any of his fiction, but his book about the craft of writing was awesome.

    Hey, I have a story in this book about how I'm not always the best mom. It's guaranteed to make you feel better about yourself, especially the part where I throw stuff at Finn.

    I'd heard a lot about this and enjoyed it, but not as much as one of my all-time faves:

    The Boys Are Loving


    I didn't think Porter would like this, but I was desperate for him to read something, so I shoved it at him and it was a WINNER.

    Hooray-- there's a sequel to the original Diary. The guys are snarfing it up.


    Porter finished all the Harry Potter books so I started him on A Wrinkle In Time, and he's enjoying it. I bought the whole set so he'd have plenty to read for the next few months.


    After finishing the Harry Potters, Drew turned to the Hardy Boys. He can't tell a story "in a nutshell," so I've heard all about the missing jalopy, and the red wig. Solve the mystery already!
