What a difference 2 years and 10 months makes

I miss blogging. Or really just putting my opinion down on paper (or electronic paper.) It has been a long long time since my last post - 2 years and 10 months. Plus a few days. A long time. Needless to say, what a difference those 2 years and 10 months have had on my life!! Namely... Bran the man. My little monkey. My 15 month old who basically is my heart walking around in a small blond (Who knew I could have a blonde kid?) body. Which leads me to this - 1150pm on a Sunday night when I should be sound asleep I am typing a blog about nothing. And everything. You know you have to start somewhere, right? And this feels like a restart although I'm too lazy/smart to actually restart an entire new blog. Why, when this one is still here and ready to go and has a less-gray, less-mom-pooched, less bag-eyed picture of me. Not to mention how much of a techy-moron I am. So...Rock on! Ok so that's it. My promise to myself is more blogging. Becoming a mom has altered my life drastically and while I miss a lot of things I don't do anymore (happy hour w/ friends, movies in an actual theater, pedicures/pretty toes, long nights making pottery, non-gray hair) I am happy to trade it all in for the new amazing thing in my life - Bran. The truth is.. .I WANT to trade it all in for him and his dad. I love just being with the two of them at home doing nothing. And by nothing I mean everything. You think you know what you're going to be like as a mom. You think you'll feel this and do that and cook x and still do y. And then you become a mom. And you look back on your pre-mom self and think - You were a moron. You thought you knew everything, but you knew nothing. NOTHING. So that's where I'm at. Tired, ugly toes, gray hair, and happiness. Oh, and a cold. Because kid in daycare = constant cold. But that's for another blog...

Gray Hair

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.
