Hair – Wanted and Unwanted
Dear Mom,
I remember one time coming to visit you in the hospital and a mustache was growing above your lip. I couldn’t understand this. I get it now, growing hairs in unwanted places. Although in your case, I’m sure the medications didn’t help. I also didn’t understand why someone didn’t shave you. I wanted to crawl in bed with you and at the same time I was deathly afraid.
I’ve had my lip hairs removed through laser treatment. Why not? There are a few stragglers here and there, but it beats looking like Sam Elliot only with dark hair. There are some stragglers on my chin. I swear they grow overnight. One time I was driving and I looked in my rear view mirror and saw this black thing hanging off my chin. What? It was a hair. Thinking it was a loose hair, I tried brushing it off, but no, it was attached with a root and all. I tried pulling it. All that did was make the hair curl and then I looked like I had a pubic hair resting on my chin. I continued to pull until that sucker came out. For the life of me I can’t seem to grow hair on my eyebrows in the places that are sparse. Can’t grow hair where you want it and yet it blossoms where you don’t. But I got creative and now have a comb-over eyebrow. Who would’ve thought?
I think everyone has problems with hair—either wanted or unwanted.

NaNoWriMo Day Eight
It's Day Eight. I wasn't able to write on Day Six or Day Seven (Saturday and Sunday) since I was out of town, and although it was tough I managed to fit in 2,051 words today bringing my total count to: 17,486. The NaNoWriMo site is "busy" so I can't log in my words yet. Hope all my other writer pals are doing well! Write on!
PS. I have a blogger friend, Becky Povich who's having a give-away contest, but you have to visit her blog and make a comment in order to win. She's a sweet gal, tell her Lynn sent you! You can get there from this link: www.beckypovich.blogspot.com

NaNoWriMo Day Five
Here's my total count--that widget thingy from NaNoWriMo does update, but today's word count was 2,005. I'm heading out to the annual dinner with North American Rock Garden Society's members. One of the couples decided to host it. She is from Brazil, so we will be having a Brazilian dinner. Tomorrow up early and heading to Springfield and then Jefferson City, so no writing this weekend. Wah. Happy writing to all my writing buddies out there doing NaNo. I'll have some catching up to do when I get back.
Here's the total: 15,247

NaNoWriMo Day Four (again)
I just discovered this cool gadget from the NaNoWriMo site. I can just plug this in and it will give my total count. I'll be curious to see if it automatically updates or if I'll have to repost.
