Thank you all. She is pretty upbeat about the whole thing. It makes it easier for the rest of us. She laughs at what she looks like in the mirror. She's been making hats for the past 2 weeks. So, not she gets to try them all out. We had a hat fashion show last night. She's my hero.

Didn't get to wash this morning. *sigh, I eagerly await for school to be done so I can get caught up on my sleep and get stuff done I need to get done.

I need to get back on the S&D daily routine.

I think she did the right thing, difficult as it was/is. I had my hair shaved the day of, and right after, treatment #2. Just keep reminding her that the hair is NOT what makes her beautiful; it comes from within and she IS definitely beautiful. God bless...

Thanks. She's doing well. Had her second treatment yesterday. We'll see if she feels up for a trip to school to see me graduate. If not, she and dad can stay home and rest. My sisters, my fiance and his family are coming. That's fine by me.
Have a party with my department today. I asked my sister to do my hair. She isn't very gentle with hair, but it's ok. She wasn't too bad. I brushed it for the first time in like a year. Geeze. It's been that long! It's now up in a pretty french-twist thing. It's nice. My fly-aways have to be tamed by gel, but all looks good.
This means a wash is coming soon.

Graduation is 2 days!!

Just a note to say hi and that I'm still here. Cheesy

My hair has been kind of dry lately. I tried a deep treatment of warm olive oil and honey. It was sticky and didn't seem to do much for my hair, so I may not try it again.

Mom is going good. She has an extra week off chemo this month and will have an extra week in July for the wedding. She and I have been doing wedding stuff. It's been fun. I've started sewing the bridesmaid's dresses. That will be a challange. There are 5 of them. Wish my luck.

I'm looking for an aloe gel to use on my curlies. That should be an adventure too.

Always stressfull. Good luck with the dresses - you are brave to make them yourself. I only made my sister's dress for my wedding - that was enough stress for me! Glad your mom with have an extra week off the chemo for the wedding. I'm praying she will be strong and can enjoy the special day.

Holy Molie! It's been a while! I guess I've been more busy that i thought. Shocked

Update on life: Wedding plans are going well. The dresses are about half done. Mom is recovering from her last chemo before the wedding. After the wedding, she has 2 more doses left then radiation. John and I were able to go together to a youth camp the last week of June. It wore me out, but it was lots of fun. We finished moving him into his new apartment and are in the process of moving the stuff i don't need right now in.

My hair: oh dear. My busy schedule has left not much room for my hair. Either that or I'm just lazy. Roll Eyes

Planning on washing it once I'm done here. It's been needing a good oiling, so that's on the to do list.

I got a wonderful surprise. Sakina sent me a present! A self heating cap for deep conditioning and some hair stuff. I'm excited to try it out and see if it works. Thanks Sakina!! Grin

All is going well. My hair isn't growing as fast as I had hoped, so I won't be at the length I wanted it to be at for the wedding, but it's still quite long. I will send you pictures of what I end up doing for my hair style.

Thanks everyone. 2 DAYS!! Geeze. Is this really happening? I feel like I'm getting ready to attend someone else's wedding, not my own.

The dress is just about done. One little detail left to do. It's wonderful, but hotter than I expected. Tongue

Oh well. That's ok. If nothing else, I'll lose weight by sweating. Roll Eyes

My hair is doing well. I've been oiling alot lately and washing right away when I go swimming (which I've been doing lately!) It seems to be doing well. I've been wearing it up alot and trying new do's like just piling it on top of my head and pinning it up there (very easy and stylish) or the ever easy braid-bun. The final measurment (sp?) is 26.5". Not the waist-length I had wanted, but getting there.

Other than that, life is good. I've almost finished moving into the new apartment and for our honeymoon, we're going into the mountains to a friends house for a week. I'm very excited.
