Facebook Dilemma

Recently my mother-in-law recently mentioned how her daughter is nagging her to get on to Facebook.
*gasp!*
I tentatively asked her what she thought of that and she said she is not real sure she wants too. Her daughter taunted her with the family gossip that she missed out on by not being on Facebook, family gossip that I was going to inform her of then next time we spoke or the person in question was mentioned. The concept of my MIL on my friends list sent me into a bit of a panic. I love my MIL, really I do, and it is not an issue with her specifically but rather with parental figures in general on my Friends list. I, aaaaa, don't think I want them on there.
I have cousins on there and both of my sisters-in-law though I did hesitate with those Friend Requests. And I've told my parents the joys and fun I have on Facebook, not the full details of my sometimes odd status updates and snarky comments on friends status but rather the general gist of how fun it can be at times. But I had not considered the concept of them actually being on my Friend list until my MIL mentioned. To have parental units know every stupid thing you say or do on there?! To have to remember they are on your Friends list before posting a link to Trashy Tramp Stamp tattoos? (ok, it was the hubby who did that but still....)
Thankfully MIL didn't seem real enthused or convinced that this was something she wanted to do. But last night I had a voicemail from my mom. She and dad are on vacation visiting some friends they've known long before I came along. Mom's message had a hint of wine and good times in it and said she and friend couldn't find me on Facebook. How come?
shit
Friends daughter is on my Friends list (another Request I hesitated on) but I really don't need mom's friend on my list. Craaaaaap How the heck do I tell them I don't want a friend-of-parents on my Friends list? Damn it! I really don't want to do the two profile thing!

Hairy Situation

You are not going to believe what I found on my face!! Two long, dark chin hairs!!
What am I a witch?! Its not even Halloween yet!
Don't get me wrong, I know we all have fine, practically invisible hairs on our face but these were long and dark! And I noticed them while scratching my chin and then I could stop playing with them until I was able to pluck them!
Really?!?!
Am I actually at the chin-hair-plucking age?!
What has my world come to?!
My head says I am not that old!
Damn it!!

A Hair Cranky

Stupid, freakin' hair! [pout]
Why can't I master the whole blow-out thing!! Its getting chilly out now so I can't be walking around with wet hair like I usually do (mainly because I am lazy, impatient and a complete moron when it comes to figuring out styling techniques.) so I attempted to dry my hair straight today. *sigh* I swear I look like Lucy VanPelt now!


The puffy poke-outs by the ear is what makes the hair-do.
Granted my hair isn't black but I am actually thinking about dying it black. Bought the dye and everything. Having second thoughts now....I don't want it to have that ashy undertone that one often sees in black hair nor do I want everyone else to think I look like Lucy.
