Be proud of that new hair! It's kind of like your blue ribbon for winning first prize in kicking cancer's butt!

Look! Shelby is getting hair back. I missed hair. Yes, I'm obsessing again! : )
Hey there. Looks like the last couple of storms skirted south of us & hit West Virginia. You still in one piece?
Yes, we're all good! There has been a lot of rain, but we put a new sump pump installed earlier this year, so we don't even have a swimming pool in the basement like we normally do when it rains that hard. I'm sure they are not all over yet, so stay safe there!
How is the hair? Mine seems to be looking like a fauxhock, but I'm not complaining!
Glad you aren't floating in your basement! : )
My hair is getting there. I've ALWAYS had lots of hair, even at birth. So I'm discovering LOTS of cowlicks that I didn't know existed!! I keep talking myself into and out of going to the salon to get the weird bits trimmed. And I keep talking myself into and out of playing w/color. I've always considered coloring but never have. Now might be the time to play. Or at least when I get a bit more hair... And I totally agree with not complaining. I missed hair.
I'm the same way about lots of hair and the cowlicks! I can't decide if that means it is going to get curly, or just keep sticking out in odd places. I just pretend it's modern and trendy instead of just messy. Let me know if you play with color - I've been tempted too, but don't want to have to keep up with it quite yet.
I hope you have a great Memorial Day!!!
