Mommy's New Hair

Here's my new cut and color! I love the highlights. But I know I'll hate maintaining them.

Girl Time

Lorelei and I spent the afternoon together doing girly things.

Right after school we headed out to the mall. Thankfully that's only an 8 minute drive from our house during the day. We went to the JCPenney Salon where we both got haircuts and Mommy got some highlights.

We walked out looking fabulous *wink* and headed over to the food court. Lorelei decided on McDonald's for lunch (of course) and it was definitely a Happy Meal kind of afternoon.

After our McDonald's we headed over to the Libby Lu store. Unfortunately, Libby Lu is closing down. Lorelei was very upset by the news. The ladies working at Libby Lu sprinkled her with fairy dust so she could make her last wish there. Thankfully, they were having a huge closing sale so we managed to snag a whole bunch of stuff for her; including a large and very dangerous package of glitter. (Let's hope that doesn't end up all over the house!)

And, to end our day, she stopped and threw a penny into the water fountain.

I love having girl time with her. It's so much fun!

Wordy Wednesday - Hair Support

As you can see...yesterday my hair was shoulder length and this morning it is most certainly not!

My friend Beth, whom I met online and have talked to just once on the phone, is currently battling cancer. Yesterday, she shaved her head as the hair loss began due to her chemotherapy treatments. And, so I offered to shave my head too.

Obviously, I didn't quite get to shaved. I was talked out of it by George and the stylist thought I should do something short, but cute since I have the "face for it". So, this is what we ended up with. I was not able to donate the hair I removed. It's unfortunate, but it was just not healthy enough.

I knew I was doing the right thing when the stylist informed me that she lost both her sister and her mother to different forms of cancer. She thought it was pretty cool that I'd get rid of all my hair for a friend.

I am proud to have short hair in honor of my friend. I am glad that she is sharing the ups and downs of her cancer so that we can support her. And I'm hoping that now we'll finally get together and get some pictures together of our gorgeous heads.

It's hair. It grows back. It was completely worth it!
