Shopping with fiance AND your mother - a disaster waiting to happen!  Separate trips are the best way to go.

I'll keep your mother in my prayers that the chemo goes well and she can keep up her strength for your wedding.

Thanks. I think you are right. She's a little depressed right now and feeling sick. I hope I can brighten her day and keep her mind off the fact that she feels awful.

Hair doing good today. I always love the "just washed it and it looks and feels wonderful" look.
The funnies thing happened to me the other day. I was at work and I want measuring my hair. I didn't have anything, but a ruler so it must have looked funny. Anyway, my boss (who's really relaxed and doesn't care too much what I do on the clock) walked by with another lady and gave me this look like "what the heck are you doing?!?" The lady saw the look and said matter-o-factly "she's measuring her hair." Just like that.  It was great to see that other women don't think I'm weird seeing me struggling to measure my length to see just how much longer I have to go to my goal length.

Geeze. Life is getting crazy. I've not been writing.
Last week I managed (by odd and unforseen circomstances) to not wash my hair for a whole week.  I oiled it, so it did ok. It was very happy though when I did wash it on Friday.
When on a Senior cruise around the bay last night. It was a formal affair so I played with my hair. I put it up in a high ponytail and then pinned up the curls into a big pile around the ponytail. I left a little hair out of the pony itself and made little braids to accent the pile of curls. It was fun. I was able to do my sister's hair too. Her's is a little shorter than BSL. She's keeping it long for my wedding (she's the type who does nothing to her hair because she doesn't want to mess with it at all  ) I did her hair half up and half down. The part up I divided into little sections and twisted each section until it curled back on itself, thus creating curls. I then pinned it up above the ponytail holder, making a crown of ends sticking up above her head. It looked cute. I'm sad I didn't get any pictures myself. I'll have to see if I can find anyone who did get pictures.
School is coming to an end and I'm not stressing!! That's a first. Usually I'm freaking out about homework and papers due. But this year, I'm pretty much home-free already. It pays to be smart.

So, you've heard the phrase "when it rains, it pores". Well, yeah, it's poring out here (figuratively).

Change is my middle name for the next, oh say, 3 months. I will no longer be a single student, living at the same house since I was 1, working the same waitrissing job for 5 years. I will be a married non-student living in a different house with a different phone number and a different last name and possibly getting a different job! That may not sound all that different, but for me it's alot. Geeze.

The job I've been working at for 5 years, only once a week because I was a student, may not have room for me to work more than one or two days a week (which would not give me the money I would need to pay off my student loans) So, unless someone quits the resturant so I can have their job, I may have to go work somewhere else.   Not ideal.

My mom is doing good. She is due for her next treatment on Tuesday (a couple days before my graduation, so we will have to see how she is feeling to see if she can come) Her spirit is up. She bought herself a wig yesterday and was excited about it. It's cute on her. Her hair isn't falling out yet, but it pays to be prepared.

Hair going the same old same old. Once I get out of school, I will have time to pay better attention to my hair (like washing it more consistently) Oh well.

All the "changes" you have going on in your life - they are defining a pivital point in your life.  I remember going thru that myself.  I graduated from college, got married, moved to a new state and had to find a job; all within a month.

It can be scarey but on the other hand, it is the start to a wonderful new adventure where you define yourself.  Enjoy it!

I can't imagine what you and your mom must be going through...I have you in my prayers and thoughts.  I think loosing your hair for a woman is especially tramatic.  Not to leave the men out,but for women it's different.  My heart's there for you.....
