Movember is Over for me. (warning: vanity post with non-vanity pictures)→[More:]
I decided not to even try doing a NaNoWriMo this month and dedicate myself to growing a Movember Moustache. Well, I have a doctor's appointment today and looking closely in the mirror while shaving I realized that the 'stache was making me look old... and I did not want to go in looking older than my doctor (who has a grey 'stache). So, I forceably removed the upper lip hair (along with most of my sideburns while I had the trimmer). [pics to follow]

(I can't even do a decent "McKayla is Unimpressed" face under this brush!)

and After:

Surprised look upon realizing I have lost some weight around my face resulting in (1) my old double chin turning into a turkey-wattle - which makes me look older even without the 'stache and (2) bagginess around my eyes making my left eyebrow look like it's expressing emotion I don't really want to (also, the window screen behind me needs cleaning badly).

Nothing like feeling older a couple hours before a scheduled doctor's checkup.
