Friday. eyebrow disaster.
Quote (from Bridget Jones’s Diary):
“what I’m trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you, very much. Just as you are. ”
_________________________________________________________________
I went out to see Cook. She has some scrape on her butt. She’s completely sound and it’s not a big deal. I cleaned out the scrape, and put a glob of furazone on it (neosporin for horses). I cleaned her up a lil for tomorrow. I will do a better job tomorrow before we ride.

Ok so I come home to get ready for a bday thingy down on glenwood. I hop into the shower, get dressed etc etc. My eyebrows are looking sort of sad so I decide to quickly shape them up.
NEVER DO THIS IN A RUSH.
NEVER! NEVER!!
I have 1/2 eyebrow. I ripped too much off. (stop laughing). Seriously there is nothing I can do about it for like the next two weeks. and I still have to go to the bday party. with my 1/2 eyebrow.
I’m hideous.
Perhaps this is a sign I should stay home.

UPDATED:
I had the ‘absolut’ best time. (ha ha!). Laughed Alot.
One of the funniest comments was that I could hang with the ‘All guy, no wives allowed” party because “I wasn’t really a girl”. I’m squinting and taking that as a compliment.
Things that Apparently Are Discussed At Guy-Only Events.
- What happened at various bachelor parties.
- Recite lines from Pulp Fiction
- Discuss whether the Biker in Raising Arizona was H.I.’s alter ego.
- Various fights involving a member of the entourage** (If u know who I went out with, that’s not hard to guess who)
and most importantly. as happens EVERY time.
- Why I haven’t dated, kissed, married, moved in with a member of the entourage. The irony here is that they think I’m cool as a fan NOW, but if I were to marry one of them, then I would be sent to voicemail if I wanted to come out on a Friday night. 
Men!
Anyway I really had a good time the whole night. too good of a time. I’m gonna be hurting during my lesson with george.

I was wondering where you were going with that particular quote…
Did you try to color it in with an eyebrow pencil? See if that works, otherwise I’m all tapped out on suggestions…sorry, that probably wasn’t very helpful was it?!
I’m sure you look fine, and I’ll always like you, just as you are!

thanks cam.
actually the quote was related to an earlier conversation with a friend (who may or may not post in response to this.) we were just talking about how simple of a concept that was, but how hard that was to find.
The good news is that I made it safely in. everyone was too intoxicated to notice my eyebrow (or at least so intoxicated they couldn’t put their finger on what the hell was wrong with my face. )
I didn’t color it in with an eyebrow pencil and I considered making the other one 1/2 to at least match but I just left it.
Tomorrow I will be riding in a lesson with tight pants, 1/2 eyebrow and a horse with a missing patch of hair. I LOVE IT!

I have a big bottle of betadine surgical scrub in my tack locker/cabinet thing. Feel free to use it. It’s in the back corner. There are cotton balls too.

Thanks!
I could have used that!
Some people just don’t appreciate a good wound (this comment is for Lauren who says that Cook just “lost some hair! HA! whatever!!
)

I can totally relate to the “not being a girl” thing. Do you KNOW how many pulp fiction quotes I’ve heard? That and random bursting into songs by Bruce Springstein / or the Beatles.
