So.... I have a few gray hairs. It's not a big deal, even though my hair is so dark that they really show up. I just try to pluck them and ultimately they get darkened with the hair-coloring so it's not a big deal.
However, on the glimmer of my 35th birthday I have now discovered one gray hair that bothers me more than all of the rest combined... because... it is in my eyebrow. The left eyebrow to be specific. At first I thought I must have a rouge blond hair it is so light shimmering in there. But no, it is gray.
My mom drilled into me all growing up that plucking your eyebrows would lead to having penciled-in eyebrows (which I don't want) and so I am leery to pluck it. And its not like I'm going to put hair dye on my eyebrow. That's insane.
Isn't it?
Or....
Is it? Should I dye my eyebrow over one little gray hair? Wouldn't I have to dye both of them? I dunno.... this feels like it is opening up a grooming can of worms that I do not want to open.
Gray eyebrow. Bite me.

Kohls - Friend and Nemesis
I love stickers. When junk mail comes with a sticker you can remove - I remove it even if I have no clue what the ad is for. However, sometimes I know what it is for and that's when it becomes a dangerous sticker.
When you have a Kohls' credit card, every month or so, Kohls sends out a little ad with a sticker that you can remove to reveal your "discount" for the new sale period. You get to choose 1 day to use your discount and it is either 15, 20, or 30%. And here's the best part - your discount is off of THE SALE PRICE. Yup, that's right - so this jacket is regularly $76, on sale for $38. When you take 30% off that makes it $26.60! Who can resist?

Let me tell you, the 30% doesn't roll around very often - maybe once or twice a year at most! When you get a 30... the lure to shop is tremendous.
I got a 30% and this is the weekend included on the "applicable dates" and they are having a huge sale!!! I'm going to dinner to night at my friend's house who lives 1 block from Kohls. I want to shop. But seriously, I need nothing. But it seems like such a waste to throw away the 30 unused! Do you see my dilemma?

PLUS as an extra "lure" through today, when you spend $50 you get a $10 gift certificate to use next week! So if i spent $100 now, I'd have $20 free dollars - almost like yet ANOTHER 20% off!!!
Other people push the shopping too - my mom, my friend Anne, my sister-in-law, even my brother... all embrace the power of the 30%. My mom calls me when she gets one to ask if I need anything because she's got the magic 30.
What to do, what to do....
Maybe some shopping will clear my head?
