On Monday morning, I went to the gym as I typically do. I took the girls to childcare, then I headed for the treadmill for my run, followed by reps on the machines, sit ups, etc. Before I picked the girls up, I stopped in the restroom to pee. My running shorts have that built in underwear. I still wear regular underwear with them, I'd feel too exposed if I didn't. Plus I sweat a fair amount, and I like having the extra barrier between my personal perspiration and my shorts. That's off subject. Anyway, I happened to look into my drawers when I was on the can, and I noticed a little pink tuft peeking out from the bottom of my built ins. I flipped them over, to discover the matted monstrosity pictured here stuck to the material. I think I was in shock for several seconds, then as I slowly came to I realized what it was and what had happened. For Tatum's birthday, someone gave her a Bratz hair care kit. I will not buy her the dolls and I won't let anyone else either because they are like hooker barbies. Anyway, this kit included hair extensions. One of them happened to be pink and blond. Somehow it made it into the washer, then the dryer where it became adhered to the crotch of my built in undies. Later on when I had more time to process the situation, I realized it could've been worse (or better depending on your sense of humor). What if it had fallen out while I was running? There are elipitical machines behind the treadmills, and there were plenty of people on them that day. Can you imagine that thing (it is actually like 4 inches long and 2 inches wide) landing on the belt and flying off in front of an unsuspecting gym-goer? I picture myself looking at them sheepishly and shrugging as if to say "What can you do, these things happen." They would've had a story to last them months. "You should've seen it! This pube dreadlock dropped right out and she acted like it was no big deal...." Maybe next time. Almost as awesome, I left it at my sister's in an envelope that said "Please take a picture of this and e-mail it to me, I'll explain later." (I don't have a digital camera). She e-mailed back "Yuck, I don't want to know what it is", but she removed it from the envelope and made sure to capture it on a white background so it would photograph better.

HaHA! Are you sure you weren't using the hair extensions yourself to add a little pizzazz to your "personal" hair? HA! Too funny. I agree about the Bratz, what's worse is people who dress their little girls like Bratz dolls. ugh.
That was a pretty awesome story. Are you 100% sure that it wasn't hanging out your shorts?
