Guess what day it is?
Happy real Wednesday! Yesterday I thought it was Wednesday all. day. long. So I feel like I am reliving it twice this week.
Today is the last day of July, which means I have officially run every other day for the entire month. Wahoo! seems so silly, but that is WAYYY better than I have done since high school. I think I am going to reward myself with a new running shirt or two 
Echo- I love the names
E- yes how was your MRI?
Joy- have fun in Atlantic city. And I have to see pictures of your henna hair!
Kris- how is all the house stuff going? Did you accept their offer?
Degrea- when is H home? happy day
JLQ- how is H feeling?

Re: Guess what day it is?
Wooo!!! Let's get out of Dodge! I'm so excited to jump in a pool.
I think I might slowly Henna my hair. Lush - a beauty product store - sells henna in red, maroon and a few shades of black. I've watched endless videos on how to do it, but I'm worried with my natural hair color that the red will come out much lighter than I want. I'm going to start with a strand, then maybe a section of underneath hair. There's a Lush in Atlantic City so I plan to chat it up with them since the Philly one has been closed for a month due to air condition problems. Dude. Annoying.
CONGRATS on the running, Aggie!!! Excellent accomplishment!
Congrats on the new house, kris! Tell us about it!
Yes, EEE - how was the MRI?
Good job on the running aggie! This board is so dedicated!! I'm a lazy blob - pregnant or not! Although I do currently chase two 16 month olds so that has to count for something.
I have heard of the henna dying before and it intrigues me a lot but I would never dye my hair again.
My dog found a dead bird in my yard today and it grosses me out. While eating breakfast I realized he'd been outside for awhile so I went to take a peak and he ran to something and grabbed it. That something was a bird. So now I am refusing to go out back today. Bauer will do his business out front and the kids and I will go for a walk to the park. So gross! Of course it had to happen after DH left for work! So gross. I'm freaked out! Everything Bauer sniffs or licks I get rid of for washing.
You're growing humans, Echo. You're doing fine!
Henna isn't like salon hair dyes. A lot of people use it because it's "natural" and "not a chemical." Yeah, I'm not into it for those things at all. I want a way to dye my hair that isn't expensive and lasts longer. Henna is both of those things. It's not for the faint of heart, though. You're putting mud in your hair for close to six hours, it's messy, and washing it out takes about a half an hour. You also can't use salon chemical dyes until your hair grows out and henna doesn't come out well if you hate the color, which is why I want to be really sure before I slather my head in it!
However. The results I've seen are really really lovely. They say the color will stay for close to three months. One brick of henna from Lush costs $28 and is good for two colorings so that's six months! If I can get the hang of it, well, yes please!
Wow that is a long process!! If my hair was already a beautiful shade of red (I wish you could hear how I said that in my head because it sounds less snarky I swear) then I would definitely look into the henna over other dyes. For me it would be because its more natural and I hate chemicals.
Way to go on the running, Aggie!!!
Echo - Do not worry - I am a lazy blob, also. And I'm not pregnant, so that's even worse! I really need to start doing something!
Joy - The henna hair dying sounds interesting! If you do it, we obviously will need to see pictures! (Even if they are face-less)
DH is doing very well! Thanks for asking. His steri-strips fell off today. His incision site looks funny. Not funny as in gross, just funny. I think they glued it together, then put the steri-strips over top. hahah! He had so much tape residue on his back, I had to use rubbing alcohol to get it all off. But he's doing well. He has a follow up next week.
I have my root canal on Tuesday and I'm FREAKING OUT!!!!!! I'm seriously thinking of calling to see if I can get an Ativan tab to take before hand to calm myself down.

It's a geico commercial jlq :-).
And I can't blame you for your anxiety. It will be ok but it's still scary. I would call and tell them that you are vert anxious and if there was anything to help.
They aren't as bad as they used to be and it's for the best!
OOoh I'll be thinking of you jlq. I've never had one before but I'm sure it's for the best (and for the record, I'd be anxious too!)
Aggie - that's awesome about your running! Woohoo go Ags!
Joy - I had never heard of dying your hair with henna before. It sounds really neat
You're always teaching me something!
Kris - yes, let's hear about the house!
Echo - Honestly, I'd say that chasing two 16 month olds is a lot more tiring than running. At least with running, you're on your own doing it for you. Not so much with little ones!
Thank you everyone for asking about the MRI. It went fine, I won't get the results until my follow up visit with the doc next Tuesday. Although, they did give me a copy of everything on a disk and I've spent the last 20 minutes looking at everything (even though I have no idea what I'm looking at!) It's really neat what it was able to capture inside my leg (TMI- it even got a portion of my hooha so I can see my ovaries in some of the images. Super bizarre!)
I had a horrible, awful, no good, very bad day at work today. I alternated between wanting to cry and wanting to scream. And at times I actually did both. Long story short, I got a new computer while I was out yesterday. They didn't set anything up and most likely lost every, single one of my e-mails from the past five years. I knew going in today that I had a ton to do and would have to stay late even if I worked my butt off. I didn't even get to start working until I had been at work for three hours because the first portion of the day was spent wrangling the IT staff to fix my computer so I could start working. It was awful.
Also, the hump day commercial just came on the TV.
my read shelf:
boo E! That really stinks. I saw your FB post about having a crappy day. I totally agree! Hopefully today is better?
MRI imagines are so weird to look at. I can pick up on some things but its so hard to get oriented sometimes!
