First World Problems by graemestevens

First World Problems

It's raining again - another dull and grey day.
My daughter is 14 today - soon we will be inundated with well meaning relatives.
I'm still tired from yesterdays activities, which included wine.
An appointment with the dentist looms on the horizon tomorrow.
To top it all off, that's one hell of a set of eyebrows. Maybe that's my super power...
Great story to go with a great shot

@denisefuller Thank you

Ah, Graeme, my commiserations to you Sir: life is indeed testing in the First World... it's just not reasonable to always have to be first is it? And man, do you look mega teed-off.

Take consolation that you have made lots of 365ers happy with your delightful black humour today... thank you.

Ahh Graeme, you have a long way to go before those eyebrows would rival John Howard's....:)
a very reflective portrait and thoughts...

@vignouse It's a rough all world alright - having everything we need at our fingertips is just so difficult. Pleased I could bring a smile to someone's face though!
@ninaganci thank you very much
@ltodd I have that to be thankful for I guess, and thank you as always.

Congrats on your daughter's birthday. Condolences for the impending dentist visit. I would suggest wine to treat both; before, during - where possible, and after! :)

Happy birthday to your daughter! I have a 14 yr old too! Pulling my hair out at times! Love the selfie! Eyebrows.....that would be a new super power!

Trouble, trouble everywhere - you need a drop to drink.

There is a lot of power in eyebrows. they can convey so much without any words.. I sympathise with the dental plan as one of my teeth are playing up.. Hope your daughter enjoys being 14...it's an amazing age to be. Nice photo though..
April 28th, 2014  
Fabulous! Good luck at the dentist.may it pass quickly!
April 28th, 2014  
Ugh! On the upside, great choice of B&W. It suits the photo well.

@voiceprintz thanks, thanks, and advice noted
@harbie thanks - they can be hard work at times but she's a great kid
@golftragic I need hair of the dog!
@sarahview thanks, I like my dentist because he thanks me for paying his mortgage every time I'm in there!
@mzzhope thanks, and I certainly hope so too!
@eyeamlisa thank you very much!

Great selfie! I love the face expression, goes perfeclty with the text you're sharing :)
April 28th, 2014  
Wonderful expressive capture!

Super power over the dentist?
What a lovely portrait, you look extremely serious, nothing like the look of the first world.

@lorenaavalos thank you very much
@georgiat thanks
@yaorenliu I need all the help I can get! And thanks, but this is me smiling ;)

It can't be all bad Graeme - you take very cool selfies.
April 28th, 2014  
@jules13 Blush...thank you very much. It's not that bad at all, but when I woke this morning it was shaping up to be a slightly rough day. We all made it through unscathed though.
April 28th, 2014  
You look very serious indeed, I like the lighting. Hope your daughter enjoys her day

Sam
And I thought my day was bad!
April 28th, 2014  
@wearing0 thank you - I have asked her and she grunted at me, which I believe is teenager speak for "yes thank you, it's been lovely"
@gigiflower It will be over soon as I get to go to sleep :)

Great eyebrows Graeme and great use of b&w. Enjoy the wine. Have enough and the dentist will be a dodder!
April 28th, 2014  
@ceilidh why thank you :) The dentist is easy, I just lie back, hold on and hope for the best!
April 28th, 2014  
Haha, a wonderful B&W shot! Those sure are some funky eyebrows, if they have some sort of super power with those I think it will be put to good use! All the best for the busy schedule ahead!
April 28th, 2014  
Great lighting :)
April 28th, 2014  
@lilminimonka @shawnasays thanks both, appreciated

Your selfie reminds me of yin and yang...the good and the bad! FAbulous! Well done.
