Dear Whymommy,

I have a confession to make. I am not a natural blonde. If the shock of that doesn't send you into labor, then I'm afraid nothing will. You knew me best as a blonde thanks to Sun-In. As the years progressed, I had to take more drastic action and sought professional help. Yes, Whymommy, I color my hair.

I know that this is probably a lot for you to take in, and I hope that I haven't upset you too much on the eve of your giving birth and all, but I felt that I had to come clean. You needed to know that I wasn't the "golden girl" that you thought after all.


So there you have it. Yesterday I broke down and succumbed to my roots. With a hint of chesnutty red just for fun. I hope you will still be my friend. You can still make blonde jokes about me, because this doesn't mean I am any smarter.

Love,
Canape

Tomorrow morning, Whymommy is going in to give birth to her son. Her pregnancy has been very difficult and she has dealt with tough decisions, pain, and every other situation with intelligence and grace. She sent many of you my way lately, and I will be forever grateful. The support you all have shown me has kept me ane and pushed me to keep moving forward. Please stop by and wish her well for tomorrow!

Best of luck, tomorrow, Sweetie. I love you much and can't wait to see your precious Whybaby.

I think sometimes a change on the outside makes us feel a tiny bit better on the inside--even if it's "only" hair color or a simple pedicure. Either way, it's something we can control, even when life is crazy.

You look beautiful... ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Anonymous Marty, a.k.a. canape DATE:Sunday, January 14, 2007 at 12:35:00 AM EST Thanks, Lizzy! You are so right, too. The bonus is that I won't have to stress over coloring it when I'm pregnant again. No roots. And money saving too :)

It is pretty strange to see though - I've only ever seen the roots. I almost had myself convinced that once it got beyond a certain point, it just turned blonde on its own. Right. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Anonymous whymommy DATE:Thursday, January 18, 2007 at 4:34:00 PM EST I think it's perfect. You still look like the golden girl to me! ----- --------
