Plucky

I've decided that my entry titles are often filled with misdirection. As in, by plucky you might be thinking of the GRE word meaning brave or spirited. But, in this case, I am referring to eyebrow plucking. Maybe "plucker" would be the more appropriate term. I was walking back to my car yesterday after lunch, and I walked by the mailboxes at my apartment complex. The postal truck was sitting there with a small postal woman in the front seat. As I walked up, I tried to figure out what she was doing. It definitely looked like she was plucking her eyebrows---little mirror in her left hand, right hand poised over her left eye, ready to go in and make the grab, her eyebrows lifted, and face contorted to give her the best angle. I got right next to the truck, and sure enough, she was giving herself a little eyebrow treatment right there in the parking lot. It gives a new definition to multi-tasking.
