Movember is Almost Over!

I have to say I am pretty excited that Movember is almost over... only two more days! We just got back from a trip to Arizona for the Thanksgiving holiday and Rick's mustache was a big hit among family and friends. We attended Rick's 10 year high school reunion (I know, I am married to an old man!) and there were some other Movember participants there so obviously they bonded. I went Black Friday shopping for the first time in my life and I came across this lovely shirt:

I almost got it but didn't because the month is almost over and I don't want to encourage the mo the other eleven months of the year.

Movember is Here

What is Movember you ask? Well, I gathered from their website that it is the marriage of 'The Mo' (slang for mustache) and the month of November. This event challenges men to grow a mustache for the entire month and simultaneously raise awareness and funds for cancers that affect men. Rick's face is participating by growing yet another mustache and you can check out his Movember profile here.

I guess I have mixed feelings about all this- I am proud he is helping to raise funds for a worthy cause, yet I find myself counting down the days until December when I will hopefully be able to touch my husbands freshly shaved face again. You know what, it's not even that I need it to be clean shaved- I love the scrubby unshaved look as well, the early stages of a beard.... I'm just not a huge fan of the 'stache, it kind of makes me feel like I share a bed with an ice cream truck driver.

Happy Movember!
