  I have been blessed with a light, sparse beard. Lately, though, I have been noticing that about 5 - 6 hours after shaving, I can notice a beard shadow showing beneanth my makeup on my chin. It pretty much ruined my plans for a late-night "adventure last night.

   

  I am, living in San Antonio for almost 40 years, a fan of the Spurs. Last night was game 1 of the NBA finals, and being a good fan, I dresses entirely in black, from my panties to my eye shadow. I shaved at 6PM, paying extra attention to my chin. I applied moisturizer and let it sink in until 7. Then I got dressed, applied my makeup, put on my jewelry, silver and black, of course. Then I put on my favorite wig, a long strawberry blonde, checked my look in the mirror, put my chair in the "TV watching" position, and turned on the TV as the pre-game show was ending. 

   

  Three hours later, after a thrilling 110-95 win by the Spurs, I was ready to get out of the house for a little bit. I figured I would drive up to the post office and check my PO box. There's usually no one at the post office at that hour, which is fine for me as I am rather shy about going out while dressed. 

   

  I put my lipstick, brush, keys and wallet in my purse, then checked my look in the mirror and was aghast. There, on my chin was a faint but very noticable beard shadow showing through my makeup. It looked totally unlady-like. I was at a quandry. I couldn't go out looking like that. That would move the feeling I get from going out from "fearfully thrilling" to downright terrifying, too much so for this old girl. I decided to stay at home and go to the post office on Saturday, when I need to drive right past it.

   

  So now I need to "go back to school" about makeup and such. Well, it's been a learning experience so far, so why should now be any different?
