At least they don’t get sick. And they never “Have a headache” or suffer from TMJ for that matter, but THAT is a topic we will save for another day.
Ehem…Where was I?
Oh, yes. I’m still sick.
You all should hear me talk right now. I totally sound like a guy. A guy that smokes about 3 packs a day. Then washes it down with a couple of quarts of paint stripper. After swallowing a stack of flaming swords.
It’s LOVERLY.
Some of my sick suck is completely my own fault.
On Saturday, even though I felt like crud, did I stay in bed with Nyquil and a box of tissues?
Oh, no.
I motored my butt down to the capitol city of my fair state to get my hair done with Casey (Moosh in Indy). She is LOVELY. (She is also itty bitty. Seriously, I know that I am a total amazon and stuff, but I think her waist is the size of my thigh.) I wasn’t planning on it being more than a hair appointment, but the way things fell into place turned into quite the excursion. Even though I had zero ability to phonate by the end of the evening, the day was so fun that it was worth it.
She sums it all up so well on her blog that I am blatantly stealing it from her:
“I had my second date with the smokin’ hot Loralee from Loralee’s Looney Tunes on Saturday. In all my history of second dates, never has a second date been so wonderful. It involved a dressing room, a blow up doll*, a gay man, stylists and copious amounts of sushi.”
I suppose that I could explain all of the above, but some things are just better left unsaid.
Tee Hee
Besides, do people REALLY ever want to read about blogitty meetups? I remain unsure and unconvinced about it. One thing that I am totally convinced about? My hair turned out AWESOME.
Take a look for yourself:
BEFORE: (Bad, I know. It does look worse than usual because I had my hair clipped up and took it down before she started.)
AFTER: (I had her cut off almost four inches and layer it all over, so it is nice and bouncy and healthy. AND THE COLOR! I LOVE IT! They did a technique called “Melting” and used 4 different colors. It looks so cool in the light and different when I part it different ways. I love the red. My only beef with red coloring is that it lifts fast and turns orangey (As seen in the before photo).)
We both looked smokin’. Ask the guys in the convertible that totally hit on us at the movie theater. And yes, I’m lame enough to enjoy those moments of male validation.
Sigh.
Anyhoo, I have to crawl back into bed with my hubs.
We’re such a sad couple today. He’s home from work because he threw his back out yesterday, which happens like, never. He is going to his first ever chiropractor appointment this afternoon. He’s pretty bad off.
I’m not terribly worried about him, though. Even in his painful state, he can still manage to cop a feel, so I’m sure he’ll be fine.

*I’ll clarify because I know I will get “WTF?” emails (And rightly so!) Go see “Lars and the Real Girl”. It is a sweet, funny, hilrious, and quirky movie. And even though one of the main characters is a blowup doll named Bianca, it is a totally clean movie. One of the best films I have seen in a long time. GO SEE IT.

Raygon:
My natural color (At least a million years ago) is a light brown with tons of gold and red in it.
I LOVE being a redhead, though. It’s my favorite shade to be. I think that I have been every shade of it that there is to be and I’ve loved them all.
Well, except for the flaming orange I was in my senior year high school photos. THAT we can forget about. :S

I have been border-line sick for weeks now. Frankly, I just wish I could be miserable like you and get it OVER with. This way, I get NOTHIN’ by way of sympathy. But you? Oh, you pooooooooooor little thing (that’s what my mom used to say and was the highlight of my sickness suck-ups).

1. I am SO sorry you don’t feel well. I totally know how you feel and you have my condolences. I hope you feel better soon!!
2. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your hair. It’s gorgeous!!! I so need to get mine done. It looks terrible. It’s still growing though so I guess that’s good. Your color looks lovely.
3. Awww! I remember you saying that. I will have to upload pictures for you to look at. You could be her bunny godmother from afar and I can send you pictures! Maybe one day when your kids are out of the house Jonathan will agree. I hope so.

I LOVE your new hair. The color is amazing and you look so amazing. Now I’m feeling particularly downdy today!
And thanks for the ‘Lars’ recommendation. I’ve been curious on that one.

Angella:
Red is my very favorite color! I have to say that meeting Moosh was way awesome. She is a tiny, little hottie, that is for sure!
Amber says:
Oh, I HATE the “Borderline Illness”. I always felt so bad for people with walking pneumonia…It sucks. I have total sympathy that you aren’t sick enough to just lay in bed and be taken care of for a few.
jess:
She really did. I really would love to back to her again.
SparklieSunShne:
1. I am really tired of being sick. It sucks. I do feel better than I did yesterday, though.
2. The color is the bomb. It looks so good in person and should grow out and fade really well.
3. I would love to be a godmother to the bunny. I am sooooooo envious. Bunnies are just theBOMB of “Little Fuzzies Heaven!”. Sigh…
Jill - GlossyVeneer:
I cannot recommend the movie more. It was just so sweet and funny. I loved it. I can’t believe how attached I got to Bianca. It was kinda “Wilson” from Cast Away.
I felt horribly dowdy until I got my hair done. It always helps to get your hair done.
Vanessa:
Thanks. I’m trying to get better. Ug.
Bridge:Thanks, Bridgy! I’m glad that you like it.
Lisa:
Cool Beans! I’ll go take a looksee…
Sharon:
That’s what I have been doing. As much as I have a major streak of lazy and love lounging, the bed thing is sucking for me. I will do it for today, but I’m really hoping that tomorrow I am done with it all and can be up and about.
moosh in indy:
Of COURSE I didn’t! They’d die of jealousy!!!!

I’ve got to get a haircut - like yesterday. Your hair looks amazing. I’m just going to have to stick with the henna for coloring right now - but my length is out of CONTROL.
I want a superhot date with Loralee.

Day-amn!! you are hott. I HATE it. I feel the need for some smokin’ hot highlights…grrr! I can’t afford color (or the upkeep) NO. I’ll fight the urge.
take down the pic so I can resist the temptation, mkay?

Hey, thanks for the b-day wishes. Too bad you’re feeling like shiat, even though your self-esteem seems much improved after the hair chopping.

I’ve heard good things about the movie–I should see it. And don’t you hate standing next to someone so petite? Makes me feel like Big Bird.

Love the hair. Sympathize with the hubby about the back. I did it back in May while putting on a shirt. A shirt! WTF is that? The day that I did it I just laid on the floor and let garbage pile up around me. I think it was more of a pinched nerve though as it was gone in a few days. Wishing him the best.
I SO want to come to the Safest Place in America (TM) and hang out with you! I need money first, though, because you look like you have actual taste. I’m more of a dumpster dinin’ old newspaper readin’ kinda guy.

tip about red coloring - if you use garnier’s color=treated shampoo and conditioner the color will not lift, and it’ll put your hair into a better condition. i swear by it.
don’t even talk about backs going out. last year, i had a muscle spasm so bad in my back i couldn’t move for 2 days.
and it’s coming up on the 1 year anniversary of when i pulled a muscle in my neck. how that could happen when i didn’t even do stuff like - ya know - is beyond me.
