Happy Birthday...here's a new wrinkle!

So, a few days ago I got in my car and the sun was shining just enough that I could see the eyebrow hairs I missed whilst plucking last, as well as every wrinkle on my face! All of a sudden I realize I have a very long and very visible NEW wrinkle!!! It's huge and it's right under my left eye. I start to freak a little bit. I start to cry a teeny bit and I decide to talk myself through it. So, I say, "it's okay Larissa, you're going to be 38 soon. This kinda thing happens all the time. This is bound to happen sooner or later. Let's just accept it and move on." I don't know if it's the age thing or extreme recent stress or what. But, deep inside, I'm a little bugged. Well, a lot bugged actually.
Today I showed Tamra my new wrinkle. She admitted it wasn't there last weekend. I told her it was brand spankin' new. She tried to make me feel better by telling me that maybe it is from lack of sleep or eye puffiness. But, I don't think so. If it's still there by next week, I'm thinking it's mine forever. I've decided to call it my birthday wrinkle. I think I hate birthdays! I think I hate getting older! I think I hate that my life didn't turn out like I had dreamed! sniff...sniff I think I need pie!!!

We need to get you on a regimen of cocoa butter - the real stuff, and hemorrhoid cream for the flare-ups.

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I feel your pain (wrinkle)! I still look at some of my friends that are my age and think "man you look old." and then I look in the mirror and see I look old too. I suggest--eat some really good pie!

Yes! Listen to wise old Eric. Use Prep H under your eyes. It shrinks tissue! My mom's friend uses it, adn I'm telling you, not an under eye wrinkle to date, adn she's gotta be like 60. Now, she is a little psycho, but I don't think that has to do with the Prep H.
