Who would have thought I'd have curls?!?!

Some of you know... because I braved it on Sunday and attended church without my wig. It was sort of scary because it looks so different than any hairstyle (and I use that term very loosely) I've ever worn. I've been testing my courage and going out on short trips without my wig, I went to the local Fresh and Easy where I always shop and they didn't know me at first and then one clerk said "why did you cut that beautiful hair off?" that sent me scurrying home to get my wig! I almost went to work yesterday without it, but that was a mistake... half way to work I glanced in the rear view mirror and realized that I'd forgotten to put my wig on. I did a quick U turn back home to get it!

My hair is very soft like baby hair and it definitely has a mind of it's own, so I have to learn how to manage it. I have a lot more hair in the back than I do in the front and I've heard that is pretty common. I also was told that it could come in curly and it has, I'm not sure if that will last or if it will go away after a trim or two. The color is pretty much the same as I had before, I was hoping for more white but it's still predominately gray with a little bit of silver.

I took my wig in for it's 30,000 mile checkup and the gals at "the Wig Cottage" told me it was in great shape, I had it steam cleaned to poof it up a little bit and it looks pretty good. My own hair is starting to creep out around the edges so I probably won't be wearing it much longer. I got a super conditioner that is supposed to stimulate the hair growth, so I'm hoping it will help the front come in a little thicker and stronger.

The good thing is I should have plenty of hair by the time it gets hot again, it's not fun wearing a "hat" (as I affectionately refer to my wig as) in the 100 plus degrees that we have here in vegas. Now for the pictures I took yesterday...

Cleaning Poem

I asked the Lord to tell me
Why my house is such a mess.
He asked if I'd been 'computering',
And I had to answer 'yes'

He told me to get off my fanny
And tidy up the house
And so I started cleaning up...
The smudges off my mouse

I wiped and shined the topside.
That really did the trick...
I was just admiring my work...?

I didn't mean to 'click.'

But click, I did, and oops I found
A real absorbing site.
That I got SO way into.
I was into it all night. <>

Nothing's changed except my mouse
It's very, very shiny.
I guess my house will stay a mess...
While I sit here on my hiney.

Thank you for being my e-mail buddy and friend!
