I'm done with my dare.

So it's been thirty days since my last blog. I've already went through a few of your blogs that I missed. Not much has happened to me this past month that would have merited writing anyway. The last couple of days though have given me something to write about. On Sunday I remembered that I had bought a pair of thinning shears. So after church I was kind of playing around with them. I wasn't very brave so I was just doing little pieces at the bottom. Then I came downstairs for awhile when I finally got the courage to really use them. I went upstairs and grabbed the scissors and grabbed a big chunk right above my chin and started cutting. Suddenly I realized I had grabbed Tony's haircutting scissors. I screamed, I cried. I was in shock. What had I just done. The boys ran upstairs to see me looking at the damage. I've been wearing my hair up in pony tails since then because I can't decide if I want to go get my hair cut really short or if I just want to always have my hair up for a year.
Yesterday morning I was getting the boys ready for school and Dougan said that my eye was red. I figured I must have been tired. I got myself and the two little ones ready to go and then we got in the van to run errands. As I looked in the rear view window I saw a big red spot in my eye. I pulled back into the driveway, got the kids out and went to WebMD. It said that I just had a burst blood vessel. It will probably go away in a few days. Today the blood is kind of spreading out so now instead of just one spot it looks more like pink eye.
Okay, so that's pretty much all the interesting stuff. Other than that I've been doing a lot more baking. I've painted some of the house, I moved the fish over to a different tank and I've done some Christmas shopping.

Let us know the verdict on the hair. Maybe post a picture of the damage. We could help you decide.

i cant believe you did that! whoa... i'd be devastated, and because i work in a "professional environment" i'd have to pay someone to "fix" it...

and on the burst blood vessel... i have those before. once, i sneezed while managing to keep my eyes open (not sure how i did that) and the other two times was when i was sick and hurling... once during the flu and once during morning sickness. All three times, i was in sort of a bent-over situation, so i think that the blood was "at the top" so to speak, and then add the strain to the eye during those activities.

and dont ever take a 30 day hiatus again... sheesh!
