and baby makes 6!

It's just another day in paradise

It might be the lack of eeestrogeeen

Since I have been a menstruating adult, I have had to go to the salon, turn over my husbands paycheck and our firstborn child, to get the blond that I so desire.

Yes, the summer sun would give it a glimmer here, and a glimmer there, but nothing substantial. I always had to go for the gusto and break out the bottle blond.

But…but….this summer!!!! The summer of obsessive beach trips and surfing until your arms fall off from paddling? The sun finally has decided to reach down its lovely rays and !!!!ZAP!!! my hair into a more attractive color than poop brown with a hint of wiry gray.

I present to you a first in my adult life……I present, unbottled, blondish, sortof-ish hair

Au natural for the first time in 30 years

I mean, what is up with that? Maybe when it all fell out and I nearly went bald after Mia, it grew back in with different pigment. Or maybe I am getting so gray that it looks lighter?

I am thinking it is some kind of hormonal thing……lurking, eminent, menopause maybe?

Whatevah! Bring it on and then some!

In other news, my biopsy came back (cover your eyes gentile ladies) F***ING NEGATIVE!!!!!! RIGHTflippingEOUS!!!!

Dear Dr. T.
Next time, please don’t offer a commentary on my grotesque lesions that involve “I will be surprised if this is not cancer”. Because , SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was NOT CANCER! And I went through hell waiting for the biopsy. Next time say “My, a fleshy pink lesion. Lets biopsy this and make sure it is nothing for you to worry about.”

Love,
Jody, your employees pain in the ass wife who has had 2 cancers removed already at the age of 39.

  1. Oh, that is such good news! Slap that doctor for me next time you see him. My mom has had some chunks taken out of her, too, and I know what you mean about going through hell waiting for the results.

    No fair about the hair, BTW. And to be able to say you got honey-blonde hair from surfing so much? Grrr.

  2. congratulations!
    hip hip hooray about your hair too. I’m hating my $100 highlights now that they are growing out (read: ugly roots) and I see my sons have natural highlights after a summer of sun.

    Yeah, that it was negative! And yes, what is up the the pre-diagnosis diagnosis these days? I can understand if a patient asked point-blank about statistics, but otherwise, let the lab do its work.

    Gorgeous hair!

  4. You have great hair! I love it!

    And yahoooooooo! on the biopsy results! That is so awesome.

  5. Your hair is just beautiful! It looks so healthy. It is time again for me to get my roots highlighted, but I think I can stretch it out a little longer because of the sun this summer.

    That photo of your leg still sick’s-me-out, but I’m really glad that it isn’t cancerous!

  6. Oh Congrats on the biopsy results! I’m so happy for you. My dermatologist scared the living daylights out of me too. I had to have something removed the day after Christmas. She said something to the effect of “This needs to come off and can’t wait. . . but don’t let it ruin your Christmas.” Guess what? Just did lady! I hate that about them!

    Lovely hair too. Beautiful natural highlights. I just got mine at the salon.

  7. That’s great news!
