I got this e-mail today ... made me laugh out loud.
I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner. I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, 'If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?' 'No, I had to stop drinking years ago', the homeless woman told me. 'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked. 'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said, 'I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.' 'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked. 'Are you NUTS !' replied the homeless woman. ' I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!' 'Well, ' I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.' The homeless Woman w as shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.' I said, 'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.'
Funny, the only thing I haven't given up is the wine. Maybe I could use a new outfit and a good hair appointment. You know, to cut those few hairs I have left. Did anyone ever tell you that all your hair falls out after you have a baby? It does. Don't let anyone lie to you and tell you differently. It happens, and it totally sucks. It clogs the shower drain, it gets all over the bathroom floor, it builds up in your brush, you walk around with hair on the back of your shirt, and you have really thin frizzy hair. Oh, and if you're lucky like me, you have a neat receding hairline second only to the biggest prematurely-balding jackass at your 10 year high school reunion (I didn't go to mine but rumor has it that my high school 'sweetheart' was that jackass. ha ha ha). I suppose I'll treat myself to a shopping trip sometime soon. I was hoping to lose more weight before a post-baby shopping spree but it isn't happening. Maybe if I gave up the wine ....
And it really wouldn't be a post from me if I didn't mention this:
Texas A&M 67 -- BYU 62
WHOOP!

Don't worry about the hair thing- if I remember right, when you are preggo you don't shed like normal so after you have the baby you lose all that extra hair. Keep taking the pre-natal vitamins, they make your hair and nails grow! :-)
WHOOP for our Ags!!! :-)
...oops meant to say, that wine email cracked me up! :-)
