It's Tuesday. I'm at work. My sister left the office to pick up Hannah so things may improve even more for today once I see Hannah's sweet, little nearly 5-year old face.Last I saw of Hannah was the week I arrived home from hospital. She came over to my house to visit which also included a chance to see my creepy toes. I asked her if she wanted to see them and she said "Yes." She seemed pretty excited at the opportunity. Who wouldn't be?! Then together we lifted the blanket and Hannah fainted said "that's enough" as she lowered the bedding in horror. She refused to look at both feet. Da noive!
This creepy toe thing cracks me up. If Hannah thinks my creepy toes are scary to look at she's in for a world of hurt growing up in this world. There are millions of creepier things like a million of my chin hairs in a 5x mirror. That's why I had to come back to work. I was looking in that mirror daily, sometimes several times a day with tweezers in hand, waiting for my eyebrows to grow. Then one would appear and I'd pluck it, or get the scissors out and trim them nicely again and again. My perfectly coiffed eyebrows became an unhealthy obsession. I think in weight loss surgery lingo this unhealthy obsession is called addiction transference.
I'm down 21 lbs today. I can't remember if that is more or less than last time.
Also some little mouthy girl at pre-school, Sophia called Hannah chubby. I'm peeved. Makes me want to go pluck Sophia's pointy little eyebrows. Instead Hannah and I are going on a walk.

I've never known a Sophia that wasn't a total bitch, by the way. No offense to any Sophias reading this...unless that are bitches?
I need one of those 5X mirrors so I can get at these chin hairs but everytime I see my gigantic pores in the ones at ULTA, I'm too afraid to make the purchase. Maybe one day. After therapy.
I have one of those 5x mirrors, but I consider it a WMD.
Janell, I am glad you are feeling strong enough to be back at work and take that darling, PERFECT Hannah for a walk.
I dislike this Sophia immensely.
I get you with the plucking...I have a magnifying mirror and it's horrifying, the things I see in there!
That is how it all starts. With stupid, rude, untrue, bitchy comments from little kids like Sophia. I have 2 granddaughters and I swear I fear for what they will hear as they make friends more and more. Mean girls???? There are waaaaaaaay too many of them in this world unfortunately.

ok you KNOW Im on a rampage about the girl at hannah's school.
Id add a little smiley emoticon---but Im not joking.
the Sophia Creature is perfect then?? grr. Hannah is delectable. Swatting all Sophia's within reach could be useful.
YOU are amazing - 21 pounds?? And back at work already? way to go babe...

Was Hannah upset by Sophia's comment? Or has she been hanging with you enough that her confidence level is high? 'Cause it should be - she's adorable, and Sophia should be taught to keep her unkind comments to herself!
You are healing so fast!! Hannah looks great!! She probably will never became creppalicious :-)
You must have ninja posted when I wasn't looking!
Just say the word and I will kick Sophia's adorable little behind. I AM a purple belt in Muay Thai you know.
You should see what happens when a 5X mirror is combined with the lighting in the ladies room at my office. Sometimes I have to immediately take a Xanax.
Glad to see you're up and about. Hope your time with the perfectly Perfect Hannah was the best!
I bought one of those mirrors - BIG mistake. Now I have OCP - obsessive compulsive Plucking.
I'd like to have a talk with little miss S's mom. Cause you know that's where that came from! Grrr.
Glad you are feeling better, up and about, and Woo Hoo! Losing it!
ps Don't forget to email me when you need me to look at your boo-boo.
WOW! Back to work already. I'm so happy you're feeling good and up and about. Congrats on the loss.
Those magnifying mirrors are very dangerous. I always end up picking at all the little things on my face and making a mess. Better to gaze at my reflection at a distance these days since I can't just take my off my glasses now that I've had Lasik.
That Sophia girl better hope I don't run into her in a back alley.
Have fun with Hannah who is perfectly perfect and shouldn't pay any attention to what little mean girl Sophia says.
Enjoy your walk.

more please :)
Long time reader, first time poster, prompted by eyebrows! (Or, as some of my friends call them, 'eyebrowns')
My eyebrow (as, if left untended, they glom together to form one gigantic black stripe across my forehead) are an obsession. Old pics of me are shudder-inducing, when I over-plucked the eyebrowns and they started at the middle of my pupil, under plucked (and gave up dealing with my Fu Manchu mustache) and I appeared to be a close relative of Sasquatch. (Another note: I didn't shave my armpits one winter in a spirit of feminist rebellion and I can't even tell you what happened with that. It didn't last long. Damn Western civilization and my inability to deal with clumped up deodorant in tangly black pit hair....gag.)Hair! Hair in all the wrong places, too little in some areas, patches of it springing up out of nowhere. Let me go fetch my tweezers.
Don't ever get a 10x mirror...I got one and it's terrifying. Stuck it in the back of a drawer.
Sophia's mother must be a beaut. Steer clear of that type.
I looked up creppalicious and the links that came the closest were all in French. Decided it wasn't worth risking a virus to click on any of them. Is Dr. J pulling our leg (or creepy toes)?
P.S. Congrats on the 21 pounds!
Don't ever look at yourself in the mirror in the daylight. Good Lord. I just look at myself in my bathroom mirror which makes me look around 30. My mother used to lock herself in the bathroom for hours plucking. I pluck a few here and there every day, but I figure no one looks that closely at me anyway. Hannah is of course just perfect, but the trick is to raise her to keep other people's remarks in perspective. You can't avoid the bitchy remarks. Sophia will probably have her own share of problems in life.
