Synopsis of this week

This has been a busy week! I decided after getting back from my Sacramento trip that I was just going to take the rest of the week 'off' from clean eating and exercise. I have felt nauseous since getting back (NO not pregnant), and I had so many things planned, that clean eating would have been torture. We had a family dinner on Tuesday, then Aaron turned 6 on Friday, and we did mostly a family celebration that day, and at the end of the day Aaron said "this is the best day of my entire life". So I think we succeeded in making it a fun day. Yesterday we had his party with all his friends, and he thought that was great too. Tonight we are going to Grandma's for hamburgers and stuff. Tuesday I plan on getting back on track!

In other news, I just want to share how distressing getting older is. Yes, I am 30.5, and already there are things happening that I really don't like.

1) It is no longer an option to color my hair...the grays are becoming more and more prevalant just in the last year. I won't dare pluck them out because my hair is fine enough as it is...I can't stand to lose even one.

2) Not only are the hairs on my head forgetting what color they should be, but they are also forgetting where they live. They seem to be getting confused, as they keep shooting offspring onto my chin, upper lip, inside of my nose. What the heck is that. This is a cruel joke. This morning was a particularly depressing day for my chin/neck. After paying close attention to this area for months...tweezers in hand, this morning I woke up, and before showering I was inspecting my face once again. There staring at me in all its glory is a hair on my neck that had to measure at least 1/8 of an inch. I swear, this monster was not there last night!! Where has this hair been hiding, and why didn't anyone tell me it was there. Kelly, you're suppose to have my back! Seriously when I first saw it, I thought there was no way it was attached, it must have just been clinging to my skin. Nope, had to get the tweezers to pull that menace out. Horrifying, absolutely horrifying!!

3) The girls...you know the ones I'm talking about. Well they are not where they were before and this does not make me happy. Everything seems to be wandering downward. Enough said.

On a happier note, I am going to have Lasik surgery sometime in the next few months, which will be good since I am a contact abuser. Hey, I have extended wear contacts...but apparently 'extended' does not mean 4 months....

Ok, my love, apparently you're the only one who could see the hair monstrosity on your neck--I did not see it, and of course I would pull you aside and gently ask if you're growing hair on your neck for "Locks of Love" because sadly, you would not qualify for normal hair-on-your-head donations due to thin hair which is of course due to any number of ailments. "The girls" sadly, in all of our cases, have had their day and they'd like to make friends with our belly buttons since they had been friends with our pits for so long. Enjoy the fun eating while you can. I seriously need to get my act together (I know I always say this..reminds me of a man in your house)...but I told myself that at the very least, I'm going on a B&J hiatus. I can't say I'm breaking up with them, but we're taking a break. Have a fun day!

I believe that terrible things begin to happen the day we turn thirty. I have now started to find random dark hairs on my body...maybe 5 total on my cheek, arms, and back. I was so embarassed when my husband found the one on my back (maybe 1/3 inch long)...eeeck! I haven't even mentioned my new sideburns (luckily fine white hairs for now).

Yeah...found your blog via the six degrees thing :)
