End of an Era.

I found my first gray hair yesterday.

I didn't like it. It was taunting me, hanging out in the front of my head and all. Where every time I looked in the mirror it was staring back at me. Laughing.

So I did the only logical thing, I had my husband yank it out of my head. Then I took it, felt its courseness, weeped over the loss of my youth and then spiked it to the ground, cocky football player style.

Let that be a lesson to all of your friends who are sitting up there waiting to sprout.

And with that fateful spike, you exorcised the demon that was the lone grey in a sea of color. Let that be a lesson to the any other hair thinking of migrating to the dark... errr light... side.

Best.Spike.Ever. (and I've seen alot of them in my time)

oh dear....you know, they do just keep on coming. i'm sad to tell you this....

...i never had any gray hairs until i was 30. then i had 2 kids in the course of 4 years and now, if i don't get my hair colored every four weeks, well...it's just bad. really bad.

gray hair is evil. it might look good on George Clooney...but it's just evil.

HAHA! Awesome!

Terry keeps "teasing" me...telling me he is finding random gray hairs. I haven't seen them....maybe b/c I don't want to!

I am glad you showed that stupid gray hair who was the boss!

Yep, it's just one more reminder that 30 is on its way.

I'm with you WK, denial is the way to go!

Thanks honey! I'm glad I have you to support me in the fight.

TLC - George Clooney I am not! Is there a famous older woman who has gray hair? I can't think of anyone.

Uhhhh, how about The Queen herself, Helen Mirren. She is a very pretty older lady.

Traci said...

md....you nailed it. i was going to say Helen Mirren. she rocks...

but otherwise, gray hair is evil.

i found 4 of them on the eve of my 29th birthday. Two Pretzels and I have the same "pattern" of the little buggers in the front hairline. we agreed that we would rock the Stacey London (what not to wear) in NO TIME!
