My uterus was given a clean bill of health this morning as I FINALLY got in to see el Doctor.  He said I made miscarriage look easy (and then thoughtfully noted that he knew it was not because his wife had four of them.  FOUR.  Shoot me now). 

I still did the no pants dance for 25 minutes in the ultrasound room but hey, it beats my last visit by a mile.  And bonus!  No crying!

Getting up this morning was like slowly pulling my fingernails out one at a time.  This weekend kicked my hind end.  Arizona has been freakishly hot this last week because of a random wave of humidity.  The atmosphere feels like it’s pushing down on us and it’s causing headaches of epic proportions as well as lack of sleep.  Matt and I took the opportunity Saturday to basically tell the heat to go to hell and we went to two movies.  TWO.

Despicable Me was SO great.  I cried like a small child at one point and laughed the rest of the way through.  It was everything I’ve ever wanted in a cartoon about a washed-up villain.  The Bank of Evil (formerly Lehman Brothers) was an especially awesome touch.  I give it two thumbs and two big toes up.

Inception was unbelievable.  Literally.  It was, as one of my friends put it (only not so delicately) the biggest mind-boggle of all time.  It took a lot of brain power to watch but I loved every minute of it.  Christopher Nolan has officially taken his place as my favorite director and Hans Zimmer gets a gold star for his dark, amazing score.

Sunday was a typical Sunday.  The dreaded early wake-up for church, sitting through church, home for lunch, loooooong nap then a big old dinner and fun night.  No bed until after midnight, thanks to the caffeine I’ve re-introduced since I can have it now but that’s OK because we had a great night and I needed to be alert for it.

In other news, I re-dyed my hair last week and it’s a bit bright but it looks awesome.  I went somewhere new and she did a great job but let me tell you, when your stylist says she’s going to do “just a few highlights” say NO!  Fifty extra dollars later I have seven strips of highlights.  They look good but not fifty bucks worth.  I had a huge discount coupon for this place that I had to use but I ended up spending just as much as I would have seeing my man Stephen, so back to Stephen I go, never to cheat again.

I was going to go get my hairs cut again by my genius, but even six months later (SIX!) it’s still the best haircut I’ve ever had and has held itself together beautifully so I’m leaving it.  Also, I sort of didn’t want to spend the money after the extra charge for the color and the fact that I’ve got to get a $65 hair-do for my brothers wedding in two weeks.  Holy crap!  My brother is going to be a husband in TWO WEEKS!

For my next trick I’ll tell you the story of getting a dress for the wedding without slitting my wrists.  But for now I bid you adieu.  (Bet you’re glad THIS lame post is done!)
