Due to Popular Demand....

Due to popular demand from all of my blog fans, here I am with my seven dollar eyebrows.

BEFORE (random pic from last month):

AFTER:
I must note that it's the end of the day and I have no makeup on. There, I said it.

On a side note, my left eyebrow doesn't grow correctly due to a scar from stitches. I won't mention any names (Jeff) or what happened (fine, he 'accidentally' hit me with a croquet mallet when I was about 4)..... but it left permanent eyebrow damage, ha. The eyebrow threading lady in her broken English asked me if the scar was from a razor. Did she think I used a razor to shape my eyebrows at some point? I think not.

Was it worth it? You be the judge.

I think it looks great! I get threaded every 6 weeks and I love it. It does get much less painful. I've been doing it for a few years and it doesn't hurt at all any more (I've probably just lost all feeling in my eyebrow area). But you wanna talk about pain?? Try getting your upper lip threaded (yup, they talked me into it once). Yeah. I'll never do that again. EVER. It was worse than childbirth.

I agree with Tabitha...they look great! I know a place you can have them done for $5. When you are on the Northside at 96th and Masters, stop in the Southeast Asian Grocery store (right in front of Menards). My friend Tamina (she's Bangladeshi and a great friend of ours) will thread your eyebrows for $5. She does a great job! And about the upper-lip...yea...never had the guts to try that one but, have heard it is EXTREMELY painful!

I'm sorry I scarred you for life... I bought a croqeut set a couple of year ago, but I haven't opened it up yet... Care to come over for a rematch? I think we've got a bike helmet that you could wear...

You are my eyebrow hero, Amber...and a fellow game-scar-bearer. My scar is from playing Follow the Leader while using a horseshoe stake as a walking stick. I should have been wearing shoes that day...

At the hospital - LIVE UPDATES

Image
Hello, blog readers! I am blogging live from the hospital with Nathan as my guest blogger. If anyone is awake out there, you can feel free to check out my blog for updates throughout my hospital visit. I was having contractions at home so we were sent to the hospital around 10pm for observation. I was dilated to 3cm when I arrived. They made me walk two 40-minute rounds which felt like a marathon for me. I didn't have any shoes on and got to wear a super cute hospital gown though. Essentially, I'm here for false labor. But, they are afraid to send me home because of how quickly I go into labor so I'm staying to be induced. ---- This is Nathan - it's 2:11 AM. Amber just got her epidural. She's at 4 cm. Her blood pressure just dropped to 80 / 43 and we had a bit of a scare. She thought she was going to pass out and had some nausea. Feeling better now. 2:35 AM. 2:55am Working to start Pitocin (drug to speed up contractions) because the ba...

Kennedy's Corner: The BIG FIVE

Happy birthday, Kennedy!!!!      To our sweet & fun girl! She's 5 today!  She LOVES to dress up whether it's jewelry, fancy clothing, or princess stuff.   Here's her latest-- a pink fur coat and sequins skirt.   Classy! She's nurturing.  She loves playing "mommy" to her baby dolls and caring for other people.  She loves to sing ( and I mean constantly ).   She is thoughtful and compassionate and loves to pray for others.  She can be headstrong and difficult too (just like her mother) but we're working together on that!    She goes to Pre-K 5 mornings a week and loves her teacher and school.   Her favorite foods are cheese quesadillas, pepperoni, and Ritz crackers.   Her favorite show is Curious George.   She's also obsessed with dogs whether it's pretending to be one, begging us to buy one, playing with a toy one, or asking every stranger in the city if she can pet th...
