Natural Highlights

There's nothing quite like discovering your first gray hair. It's been a good four or five years now but suddenly they are coming on like never before.

I like to put it in the terms of my hair stylist who says, "No No, they are beautiful highlights!" Thanks, Sebastian, I do love you... and you know this... but... highlights... ??

... Ok, well.... maybe they are highlights. Highlights of the ridiculous stresses a 30-something year old experiences. The bank account is too low. New car smell makes you naseous. Your darling cat escapes on a brisk May morning at 5am while the car and driver waits for you to get to the airport on time so you can go get MARRIED.... Yep, there's two more. What do you MEAN you don't have my size? Can you check again? Sorry, honey, I accidentally threw away your favorite....

Highlights alright.

Another parking ticket.. ANOTHER day I've overslept. How could we possibly be out of toilet paper, don't you add these things to the list??!?!?!?! Malignant WHAT!? Here comes another set of three.. four.. maybe even more. Aren't we highlighted enough?

That moonroof in the car? Forget about it -- it's a 'highlight highlighter." You got 'em, we'll show you! Who needs to be reminded EVERY TIME THEY LOOK IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR??

The best highlight of all? When your coworker stops you mid sentence to let you know you've got something in your hair.

SOMETHING? Sweetheart, that's not just 'something' -- those are my highlights..... and there's more where this came from....
