I have a wonderful student who comes into the writing lab to sit with me from time to time. Unfortunately I don't get too many visitors during the time I'm supposed to be in there, so I enjoy my visits with Grace. I had her as a sophomore two years ago and now she has just weeks before she graduates. She is one of those students who has kept in touch through the two years and her presence makes me smile. She has an infectious laugh and shares the best stories.
Well, Grace also gives the best shoulder massages (this is widely known by all of her teachers). While she rubs the horrid knots out of my neck and shoulder she yells at me for being so tense. She makes me laugh.
Yesterday, however, Grace started a hunt for gray hair. I don't know what possessed her, but she was bound and determined to check my hair for little strands of stress and old age.
She found a handful of gray hair! WHAT? She even plucked one out to show me. I about D I E D!
Thankfully I have an appointment coming up to highlight my hair. Gotta hide those suckers! ;-)

Oh my! Stinks getting old. I'm good at covering my gray hair! Infact I don't even know what my real color is anymore! HA
Your little sister has been covering grays for about 4 years now! :) I'm dead serious...
I've had gray hair for years. I thought I did a good job covering it up until a coworker said "Tina, you have some glitter in your..oh wait, it's a gray hair"..
Yeah..Thanks..
When are you going to start cycling?
I have to get mine colored soon...I keep pushing it off so it's closer to our nephew's christening. That way I'll be more prepared for the bazillion photos that will be taken! (Luckily there shouldn't be too many that I'm in,but still!)
We shouldn't have to get grey hair - it's just not right :)
I have tagged you for an award, please go to my blog.
