When you live the military life, you learn early on that everyone will feel the need to share their opinion with you. It's like people rubbing a pregnant woman's belly - you can't stop it. You get a thick skin and learn to pick your battles, but sometimes even I get thrown for a loop.
At lunch today I decided to go into town to run some errands. While there I realized I was about 15 minutes ahead of schedule, so I thought I'd stop in and get my eyebrows waxed and save a trip after class this weekend.
As I sat in the chair thinking of what had to be done when I got back to the office, the girl who does my eyes, tiny Korean girl who I swear is 12 years old talks. I was only half listening, but then she asked where was my friend who I usually came in with. I told her she moved recently, which is why I hadn't been in (she usually drags me when her kids are driving her crazy and she can pawn them off on her husband.)
SHe continues talking as she finishes up and I start to pay. "There's something different," she said. "I got a new haircut a few weeks ago and got bangs. That's why I keep forgetting to get my brows done."
"Oh," she said, scrunching her nose, "I don't like it."
That's right people, I got dissed by the brow waxing girl. -Sigh- If it's not one thing it's another.

What the hell does SHE know? Did you ask her for her green card? I would have. I for one think your hair is VERY pretty. I like it a lot better than your old style ... not that there was anything wrong with that one either, but I think it makes you look beautiful So there! PBHTHTHTHTH! on her.

She doesn't like it, 'cause it made you forget, to have HER do your brows. -evil grin-

Wow! I'm back again! ,-) Just saw your comment in my 'Seasons Snapshots' blog.
About the bursting-with-flowers Red, White and Blue pot of Begonias and the little front Begonia Red, White and Blue garden. :-)))
Did you happen to see our Downtown shots in 'Downtown ' entry? And 'Red, White and Blue' entry? And a house around town...'Mid June '07'.
But I can't 'for the life of me' find one of our front door. It has a HUGE and LONG Red, White and Blue bow on it! Wish I could have found a pic of it, posted. I'm sure it's there. It's just being elusive today. :-)))
Btw, no we don't have family in the service at present but.. we are very, very aware of all we owe our military and their families also.
