Yep! I officially have hair envy...some women like me have "boob envy" but tonight it became clear that I have "hair envy". Tyler and I went to Borders tonight and instead of looking at books I looked thru almost every hair magazine that they had....they must have at least 15! I decided that I am REALLY tired of not having much hair and ready to go without wigs or scarves or hats but I am way too vain to go out with it this short. I guess it is still coming in ok because just this week I noticed that in the front I look like Eddie Munster...yep, there is a little "V" of hair growing right in the middle of my forehead....
After we finished at Borders we went to Wal-Mart and I bought some hair color. I am not going to worry about using "organic" at this point because I don't plan on using much and it won't be on very long. I have decided to color it dark brown which is the color that is covering the majority of my head...once I thought more about coloring it red I chickened out. When I had red hair I would use red hair coloring to cover my gray...that was pretty easy. I am not brave enough to try to color gray and brown hair with red so I thought I would just go brown for a while...it's not like anyone is going to see it. This week it will be 3 months since my last chemo...I have read about a lot of women going "uncovered" at 3 months but I think it will be between 4-5 months before I have the courage to do it. I have to say that I am looking forward to trying out some fun, short styles when I have enough to actually "style". I saw a lot of cute ones in the magazines tonight. BTW - Borders is a great place to get away and relax....I sat in a big, comfy chair with my cup of iced tea and read all the magazines that I wanted. They play all different styles of music and there are no kids whining!!! It always kind of seemed odd to me to go in there and read magazines instead of buying them but once I looked thru them it was obvious that tons of people do that based on their condition...I think I will be doing that more often and won't feel one bit guilty about it! I guess that will be one of my new "guilty pleasures!"
I will let you know how the coloring experiment turns out...

Good luck on the coloringI I'm sure you will find the right "recipe" for color you want. Eddie Munster? I have quite a vision of you now with a "V" down to your nose! Glad you found someplace to go and relax and spend some time with Tyler. Back to work this week? Hope it goes well for you. I am sure you will have plenty to make your days fly by. By the time you have time to look at your hair it will have grown another inch or two! Love you, Kay
Janie Munster!!! LOL You are so funny!!! I'm sure your hair will look so beautiful no matter what color it is or style.
I might just have to join you some time at Border's!!! I could always use some time away from the every day hustle and bustle. It just never seems to end here!!! Especially when you have a 16 year old who finally is going girl crazy!! I should've counted my blessings....now it's pure hell. So am I giving you something to look forward to? ha ha ha
Hey.... I saw Carla, Dr. B's wife, the other week. I had to take Alissa into the doctor's office because she had pink eye. And I was like, "Carla, you and I have a friend in common, she's a patient of your husband's" and then I gave her few more clues and this is how she remembered you, "ohhh...the one that had the ta-ta party?" It was so funny.
Take care. Love you bunches.
