| Getting out of and getting into a hairy situation. |
I am finally going to do it! I've been seriously considering it for months, and I've finally gotten the nerve... to have a hair waxing! (OK, so it's small beans) I've always been a little hirsute, and it hasn't been a problem until I moved to this country. In the old country ladies with a little bit of fuzz were looked at as if we were part veela, because being a little hirsute meant that you had a European ancestor somewhere in your family. (I don't know about that, but OK) So next week, I'll be bidding the fuzz on my upper lip adieu.
Speaking of hair, my Mom's hair is growing like a weed! We visited her last week, and the two of us went to window-shop. She was wearing a bonnet low on her forehead and she announced that her hair was growing, and it was fine and downy like a baby's hair.
"Great!" I remarked.
"Problem is," Mom continued, "I'm growing hair in places where they shouldn't be growing as well." She pulls back her bonnet and yikes! Dark (albeit fine) hairs were growing on her temples. "I look like a werewolf," she remarked happily. "You know when I was a baby I had hair growing on my forehead too. Grandma used to rub breast milk on it to remove it."
Breast milk as depilatory. Interesting.
"Sorry, Mom, I'm all out. I stopped breastfeeding Ducky last year." We discussed hair removal options, but I don't think she's serious about having any of those procedures done. Her hair had been one of her best features before she started battling the big C and she's happy that she's getting it back. And I am too, because this means she is on the path to recovery.
Yay for hair! |
