| My ear where I found those hairs! |
I think my mother was too.
As a young girl I watched her poke, press, pick and pluck things from her face. In private I would inspect my own face and neck finding rogue hair and plucking that sucker right on out. If my memory is right, this has been a process I've maintained every day since I was 10 years old.
My point is, I'm a PROFESSIONAL. I never leave my home for any amount of time without my tweezers and I'd say I have 8 pair including a "just in case" one in my car.
I check my hot-spots (where I notice eye brows escape and show up) twice a day in a magnifying mirror.
Today around 2:00pm I discovered two giant (1 1/2 inch long) hairs GROWING OUT OF MY LEFT EAR LOBE. Not the inside out...the actual edge of my ear. Technically this is my pinna or auricle.
I was MORTIFIED. Shocked. Angered (how had I missed this?!). Freaked out.
I wear my hair back with a headband every day. My ears are exposed. HOW LONG HAD I MISSED THESE EAR HAIRS?
I scanned my last few hours and got sicker with embarrassment. Ugh.
My dentist was just cleaning my teeth.
I was at work talking to people.
Had they seen them? Had my husband seen them?
No one said a THING.
I'm 46 years old and today, July 19th, I am adding "HAIR GROWTH FROM ESPECIALLY UNEXPECTED PLACES" to my list of things to keep track of so my daughter can be prepared.
