Ugh. I was walking into Target the other day and glanced up at the security monitor and thought “Whoo! Check out the wide load on that one…OH SHIT!”

I was also looking at a photo album at MILs house this weekend and thinking “Aw, that little boy has a cat just like ours!” My husband looked over my shoulder and said something about how the cat would let me hold him but not him. I had to blink hard and realise that the Pugsley Addams-looking visage was indeed myself. Bleah.

Yes, the closer I get to 30, the more often I see my mother in the bathroom mirror. _shudder_

If you want a real fright look at your face with one of those magnifying mirrors.

I tidied up my bathroom the other day and found one, I had just plucked a few stray eyebrow hairs and decided to look in the magnifying mirror for a closer look. I swear that mirror made a few dozen new stray hairs pop out because they were not there before.

Then I looked at my pores. _shudder_
