Million Dollar Mystery

I've had a fun and eventful week, which means I haven't had a lot of time to blog. It also means I have a lot to share. But do I want to share tales of excitement? No, of course not. Instead, I would much rather share something totally and utterly embarrassing. And gross.

I went to have some blood work done last week. When they called me back I plopped down in the little chair, threw my arm up and turned away.  As I was pulling my sleeve up I said to the phlebotomist "It doesn't hurt but I can't look. I never can. There's just something about seeing the needle."  As she pricked me she responded that was pretty much the norm. So we had a nice little 10 second exchange and then she was done.

When I felt her pull the needle out I turned to pull down my sleeve. Immediately I saw a thick, dark hair on my arm. It took me a nano second to recognize what it was.

A pubic hair.

I think I audibly gasped.

I'm not certain how it got on my arm. Ewww.

I am certain it was not mine. Double ewww.

I was almost certain it didn't belong to my husband either. A million times ewww.

She was kind enough to pretend she didn't see it. But that didn't make me feel any better.

When I told my husband he tried to convince me it was one of his arm hairs. Ugh, no. It was definitely of the pubic kind.

So the mystery remains:  How long had I been walking around with a foreign pube and where did it come from? 

And do I even really want to know?
