Uncle Leo's Eyebrows

I looked at my husband the other day with my irritated/angry face.  I squinted my eyes, furrowed my brow, tilted my head, and gave him some stink eye.  Something didn't feel right.  I ran into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and was startled by my reflection.  I couldn't scrunch my face or furrow my brow.  Botox had frozen my forehead!  I returned to the living room, stuck my face in front of my husband's face,  and attempted to make my angry face again.  I said, "I'm seriously pissed right now, just look at my angry face."  He laughed.  I shrieked, "It isn't funny!  I can't make expressions!"  He laughed harder.  To which I reiterated, "IT'S NOT FUNNY!"  The laughter continued.  "Argh!  I can't look surprised, angry or quizzical right now if I wanted to.  All I can do is squint my eyes and wrinkle my nose.  Oh my God, how am I going to function in my melodramatic fashion if I can't move my eyebrows?"  I stormed out of the room before I had to listen to him laugh at my expense anymore.  I retreated the bedroom where I sulked and tried to remember why I was irked at my hubby in the first place.

Have you seen that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry's Uncle Leo's eyebrows get burned off and Elaine draws new ones on with a Sharpie?

I'm thinking maybe I should try that.  I could shave off my eyebrows and use an eyebrow pencil to draw on appropriate expressions.  I'd use a Sharpie, but that is too permanent since I change my expressions many times each day.  I wonder if dry-erase markers would work?

Botox may have made me expressionless, but I can report that in the two week period since I had the Botox treatment I have only had one bad migraine headache.  I'll take the frozen forehead in return for fewer migraines any day of the week.  Things are looking up.
