so I lost my tweezer AGAIN!

grrrrr!! i just hate hate hate it when my tweezer goes missing.. is it just me or does a single hair in the wrong place give sleepless nights to the sanest of us?! I just can’t stop tugging at that stupid hair.. OK i’m lying, we are more than one hair here! ..TMI?! deal with it!

its still that wee hour of the night that sane people sleep through and ive already been through the various side pockets of my travel gear twice, even tried my hand at one of them facial waxing strips but THE HAIR declares its more stubborn than my OCD and stays put!

maybe I left it behind at moms in Karachi! but no, i am so obsessive about it I remember double-checking to see if i had indeed packed it.. oh.. only to be compelled to take it out and use it one last time.. minutes before i headed out for the airport!! shucks! what was i thinking!

i usually carry my tweezer in my hand bag but i suddenly remembered how many of my beloved tweezers and nail filers i’ve had to painfully part with at airport security and decided it needed to go in the suitcase.. sigh..

so i put up a tweezer related rant on facebook and a friend comes back saying she is grieving over her trusty tweezer that ended wrecked after 5 years of keeping her company.. 5 whole years?! I’m almost jealous, I cant remember ever being in a relationship with a single tweezer THAT long!

..this was a very new one, even younger than mehroo, I rememeber stepping out with a 10-day baby to buy myself one.. i really had to fill that void i felt at having lost the last one some three months earlier.. sigh.. that was when I had to be rushed to the hospital and they ended my admitting me for bed rest, guess what I wasn’t carrying in my hand bag that day? I begged and pleaded everybody who came to visit to carry my tweezer from home.. my brother insists he sent it along.. but it never reached me.. sigh..

that was a special one too, i bought it from dubai when my last tacky one that relocated all the way from pakistan with me lost its grip.. decided i’ll not be cheap and buy one of the more expensive ones declaring a “life time warranty” i thought, there, that covers a lifetime of tweezer woes.. I was thinking this would last me till my dying day, except I had completely forgotten no lifetime warranties are any good if you plan to lose the item sometime soon

oh well.. our time together was short but you did your job and darned good job while you were at it.. RIP dear tweezer, may we meet again!
