"Mommy, can you button my jeans"...um... no...sorry.... you can't imagine how many things require fingertip feeling...This week I finally did finish 2 scrapbook layouts...Note to self: DO NOT try to stick those little black gem dots down until fingertip sensation returns....I needed Xanax to control my "gem rage" caused by the lack of fingertip feeling that is caused by one of the chemo drugs...oh lord... I need a drink... oh, but contrere' mon frere'...no drink with chemo...well damn.... here are the layouts...
Who can resist the annual "fake smile" school picture....
Since Monday, I have received so many wonderful emails, voicemails and comments on Facebook on the hair loss "situation"...some of favorite suggestions and positives:
- in lieu of hair - buy a "wardrobe" of faux eyelashes and "sexy" eye makeup...draw attention to the eyes...
- count up what I would normally spend on my hair during the next year, and go on a shopping spree...for scrapbook supplies, of course...
- have professional photos done of my baldness...hmmm....give me some time with my baldness and I'll get back to that one...
- no more bed head...or bad hair days...
- and drumroll.....the best of all.... no more shaving my legs!!!!!!!
Here's a picture of me, Lucy and Ashley at lunch yesterday...this was my great-grandmother Mun's hat...perfect for a Christmas lunch!
So by the looks of my hair right now...if you are placing bets...I suggest you putting your money on Friday....I predict Friday as fully BALD day...hmmm... now how do I properly sunscreen my head...gotta Google...

I see a plethora of hats in your future. Set a new precedent. Forget the scarves and turbans, it's HATS. You can be our Kate. I can just see you in that blue job with the long pheasant feather!!!
Oh girl....you GOT this! You look fabulous in hats, so don't sweat it! Love reading every one of your blog entries....you make me belly laugh. Love that you have such a positive outlook on things. Praying for you lots and lots, as well as the girls and Ironman! Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
Your girls are learning about REAL beauty as they watch their momma tackle this thing head on. You are the real deal. And your beauty shines through no matter what's on your head. But I agree with the girls-- find some sweet new lids and doll yourself up. Thanks for posting the updates . . . sending lots of love and strength your way.
You look fabulous, my friend! When I stopped by Wednesday night, I was so impressed with you! You looked great, as usual, but your upbeat spirit was what was so impressive. Hugs to you & your family this Christmas day! Love you lots!!!
