Officially Old

Today marks the day I found my first GRAY HAIR!!!!!!

I am so bummed by this! I was honestly not expecting to see one of these awful things until I was atleast 30. My grandma is 79 and doesn't have very much, so I was just hoping I would be like her in the gray hair department! Guess not!

I was just randomly checking my hair out in the entry way mirror while on the phone and saw this hair that looked like a fly away. It had a glare on it so I thought it was a highlighted piece of hair... until I got closer, it was the ugliest curly piece of hair on my head. Immediately I pulled it out and man it hurt! I pull crazy strands out all of the time and they never hurt, but that fabulous gray hair was dug in deep and was a bit of a tug with a little sting afterward!

My wonderful husband said they are going to spread like wild fires now... by the way thanks for the comforting words babe! :) I got to thinking though hasn't it been said that if you pull a gray hair out 20 something grays grow in it's place?! It makes me think of my high school choir director, Mrs. Noot! She had black hair with a gray streak in front... her skunk streak! I am going to have a skunk streak b/c I pulled the wonderful thing out! I am going to have to keep my hair updated in the color department from now on out, no more grays for me! Wishful thinking right?!

Well as I sit here as a 26 year old woman who is throwing herself a pity party, I now feel 50 or so b/c I am officially in the old ladies club with my fabulous gray hair :( No offense Mom, LOL!!!!! Love to all the old ladies out there with gray hair... I just wasn't ready to join the club is all!!!!
