Do blondes really have more fun?






Since it had been almost two weeks since my first chemo treatment, I decided I'd better go get my wig so that I was prepared when I started losing my hair. Cathy's Wig Boutique was the perfect place. Wow! Talk about so many wigs and fun styles. Rick, Lacey & I had fun picking out different ones to try on. I had never even ventured to think that I would do anything but blonde. As I was looking at the different styles the sales lady said, "Oh, and by the way, we have colors in every style so if you like the wig, try it on." I found a cute dark wig that had a style and length I liked so I picked that one, as well as a long one down to my waist since I had always wanted long hair from the time I was small. Then I also tried on several blonde ones. As I started trying them on I noticed that all the blonde ones seemed fake. It looked like I was definitely wearing a wig. Then when I tried on the dark one I loved it. I thought why not? I could do whatever I wanted. If I want to wear a dark wig what the heck, this was the time to do it. Besides all my family had dark hair and they looked so pretty! With Lacey there I felt more brave since she said that I looked really good in it. Another woman's opinion....that does it! I bought the dark one. Here are some pictures of the weird blonde one (Rick's favorite...sorry sweetie... I love you just not the wig) the long one and then the one I got. I guess I will find out if blondes really do have more fun!

Getting prepared by cutting it short





I start my chemo on Tuesday the 16th (Sept) so in preparation and in talking to a lot of other people who have already been through this, they recommended that I cut my hair short before so that when it starts to fall out that it isn't such a shock. I had always wanted to try this certain style but I love long hair so I didn't want to take the time to grow it back. Well, I have no choice now or should I say I have an excuse now so this is what I did. Might as well try a lot of different things so when my hair does grow back I can do what looks best on me.
