THE moment you realize you really are old!

Caution, this post may contain materials that constitute as too much information! My friend reads a blog that has "TMI Thursday's." Well, call this "Way TMI Wednesday" because this post can not wait one more day! Let me give you the background information....

I am 32 years old, one month from being 33. I have a few gray hairs every now and again but nothing too overwhelming. Over the last few years, I have been feeling older but still nothing has put me over the hump to start thinking of myself as "old." I still know how to have a good time, even if I might feel a little worse for the wear the next morning :) I still listen to popular music and believe I am still up to date with current fashions etc.

Well lately I have been having some medical issues, issues that usually effect older women. I will be having polyps removed from my uterus next week and have just recently been diagnosed with arthritis in my back. Despite these "old" signs, I have still been able to cling to my beliefs that I am still a "young" adult...until today that is! Here's the TMI, beware!

I was using the ladies room at work, nothing unusual, just a normal potty break. Well sometimes you get bored staring at the back of the stall door so I start looking around and I see a red string on my pants so I lean over to get it. As I am leaning over to do this, I notice a white hair "down there." Naturally, I am thinking to myself, "oh god, one of my DOGS hairs must have gotten onto my underwear." So I change focus and reach down to rid myself of this dog hair as I am thinking how gross it is to have my dog's hair on my hoo haa. Now the real horror sets in. I grab the hair, pull, and then immediately have to stifle a scream. This white hair IS ATTACHED! OMG, I have found my first gray hair on my hoo haa! I was mortified! I ripped it out as quickly as I could, and no, I don't care if ten more grow back in that spot, I will rip them out too! It did hurt a little, but it was WORTH it! I can not have gray hairs in my hoo haa yet! I am still young dammit! Ugh, this is awful, I still feel sick about it! There is no more denying it, I AM OLD! Shit!
