Hair you are!

On one of my recent posts, I mentioned 'face hair'. Now, on the hope that mother nature does not hear me, let's talk about wild hair growth.
Yep, I said that, the dreaded 'stray' wild hair.

I feel it safe to say, I don't CURRENTLY have the problem of the random wild facial hair.

 (crossing herself, lighting an incense and hopping on one foot in hopes that mother nature will not make her sorry and add the 'wild hair curse' to her plight!)

HOWEVER!
Where I do have the random wild hair is on my leg, the upper back of my leg to be specific.
I guess there are some things you should know before I delve into this topic.  I don't shave the top of my legs.


(matter of fact, I try not to shave the bottoms either!.......shhhh..don't tell anyone k?)

Ok..now you know, I don't shave the top of my legs...and you may be asking 'why'?
Reason is, I have very little hair there. Mind you, when I was a teenager it was a different story.

(I had my share AND someone else's!)

That upper leg hair faded as I got older (and I was glad of it!) By the time I was in my mid 30's it was near gone or gone enough for me not to concern myself too often with trying to eradicate it.

(I very rarely concern myself with eradicating any of my hair nowadays! except by fire apparently!)

SO, ..can someone explain to me why for the last several years, I have found the random wild "LONG" single black hair on the back of my upper legs? WTH!

You know how it happens.
You may be putting lotion on, or shoot even just rubbing your hands along the leg due to an itch and you feel 'something'. You think it might be a hair from your head that got caught in your fingers or the lotion so you grab and pick for all your worth to get it off you and it won't come! You pull harder....OUCH!
With complete awe you realize..it's attached!  You stretch it out and 'oh my gawd'........it's HUGE long!

(blink, blink)

This one hair is about 3 or 4 inches long!  (WTH?)  and you wonder why you didn't notice it two or three days ago!
(I think it's some sort of magic and grows overnight!) 


I yank it out, examine it closely to see if I can spy any magical appearance, I mean, it's not sparkly or anything!
(Just imagine, if it were magical....I'd yank all the hair off me!)

(sigh) It's just a hair, a long one, black and it was floating around back there for however long and you didn't know it?

That's embarrassing.
