A glowing report


After seven (yes, seven) years of begging, badgering, and beseeching, I finally got the Man-of-My-Dreams into the doctor for the dreaded test that involves drinking large quantities of nasty tasting clear liquid. (You know what I am talking about!) The prep for the test is much worst than the actual test itself so, for the 48 hours leading up to the big event, we had a bit of whining and complaining at our house. In the middle of the night before the procedure, the MOMD had to wake up at 3:00 am and for over an hour drink more of the delish liquid... may I say, no one really got much sleep. (Even the dog got up.)
The arrival time at the hospital was quite early, so I got up at 6:00 am while granting the MOMD a few precious extra moments of sleep. (Now, please remember that I don't function very well on a few hours of sleep.....) I showered, dressed, and dried my hair, then woke up the patient. While he showered I finished my hair, grabbed the spray can, and promptly covered my head with...spray on tan... of the Sublime Glow variety. (hey, we have a history of skin cancer in my family!) It was early, I was tired and the cans of hair spray and spray on tan look remarkably alike.
Not my finest moment.

By the way, the test results were perfect.
