Sitting inside growing eyebrows

I am one for saving a buck. As I have grown into an adult (and I almost laugh outloud calling myself that), I have learned that there are places where it makes sense to skimp and save and others where it just does not. For example, with coupons. A coupon only makes sense if it is on something you normally buy. You are not saving any money buying that new choco chum candy bar that you would have never eaten without that stinkin' coupon.

I get my eyebrows waxed every now and then. I should do it on a schedule so they are pretty much stabilized into the place that I want them to be, or not be. I got this brilliant idea to get my own waxing kit and just maintain the arch that the lady made for by myself. Well that was NOT the smartest thing that I did today. The left side came out fine. And I was excited to see the pieces of hair ripped out of my head and into the wax. I think I got a little overzealous with my wax and accidentally ripped of a major part of my right eyebrow. It looks weird. I am telling myself that it looks like a scar. You know, people do get scars on their eyebrows and do not grow hair there and it is a perfectly normal thing. I need to come up with a story like I got hit in the head with a machete while I was saving an elderly woman from being robbed. Too much? Maybe.

So now I am sitting inside sulking, growing eyebrows as fast as I can and wondering what I am going to tell my friends tomorrow.

Maybe the lesson is simple: Don't wax your own eyebrows!
