Hey, guess what?

I haven't washed my hair in, like, over two days.

Oh, what? You thought I was going to say something cool after, "Hey, guess what?" Like, "Hey, guess what? I had my tubes tied!" or "Hey, guess what? Michael Jackson isn't really dead!" Which wouldn't be so much cool as creepy.

Back to my hair.

Don't worry, I've showered. But I just have not had a reason to mess with the coif. I'm playing bunco tonight so I plan to wash my hair before then. Actually, Colin took one look at me earlier today and said, "You ARE planning on doing something to yourself before you go out tonight, right?" Hands off, girls. He's mine.

But it gets worse. I went to the store today in the same thing I slept in last night. Granted, it was yoga capris and a t-shirt. Still, I have a feeling my mom is reading this somewhere in south Texas in full make up and beauty queen hair saying, "Oh my gawsh. I taught her better than that!" Seriously, the women in my family do hair and make up to sit by the pool.

The funny thing was, that when I went to the store I was embarrassed that I wasn't wearing eye makeup so I shopped with my sunglasses on. Apparently pajamas and hair so oily you could season a skillet with it is ok but lack of mascara causes concern.

If you're nice, I may even shower again before church tomorrow.

In other random news, today a melted a cutco knife.

I also continued to be barraged by examples of why I should be a life coach. This has nothing to do with anything I've said today, I know. But would you trust a life coach who had dirty hair?

Love it! I think all of our new neighbors think that I don't own a hair dryer or any decent clothes other than workout clothes. I might add that I don't always get to workout even though I put them on with the intention of working out. Today, I actually fixed my hair and didn't want to get it wet at the pool and some random kid dragged their wet floatation dilly whacker over me and frizzed it to the max. Fun times. I think I probably should have just blogged on my own page, but I am too tired so there you have it! Night!

Thanks Emily! I don't ever wash my hair for days, if that makes you feel better. Jeremy is coaching baseball too....so maybe you all need to come over for dinner and Collin can give him some pointers. Did I mention he doesn't know much about baseball?!?

Women have been known to go to the Ladies Retreats at Katy purely to see your mom, aunt and grandmother without their makeup. Seriously.

And I remember going to the north Fry Randall's years ago (we were in Green Trails then - that's a gazillion houses ago) just so I wouldn't run into anyone I knew as I was sans makeup. There, around the corner, I run into your mom, sans makeup. She's come to that store for the same reason. So it HAS happened before and the Chronicle headline was "Autrey Woman Seen Unkempt in Local Market". People are still talking about it.

In my old age, I "freely gad about" sans makeup - so liberating! Hair is a bit of a different story since mine is very much like Hermione's in Harry Potter.

What's pitiful and sad is that tomorrow I am having a colonosopy, which means that today I am stuck at home with the laxative bottle in one hand and the Gatorade bottle in the other. Guess what I did this morning? Got up, showered, shaved my legs, fixed my hair (it's really cute, too!) and put on my makeup. Pathetic.

We need to hang out! You are my kind of girl.
I always go around town looking like crap. For instance, last night I dinner with some friends. I came straight from aerobics, which means I was sweaty, gross, and still dripping wtih sweat. It was nasty, but I didn't care.

Check your lifetime warranty- I'm pretty sure that Cutco will replace the knife.

Also... my sister has stopped washing her hair altogether. She said the first 6 weeks were horrible, but after that she doesn't have to do much to keep it from turning nasty. I thought about trying it, but I wouldn't figure out how to get through the first 6 weeks.
