From Winterland to Reality
We had a grand time in Whistler- beautiful scenery, elaborate dining, no complaining or bickering between the kids and some good quality time together. But, as they say, “All good things must come to an end. “ (I really hate that saying )
Yesterday I had a good smack of reality when I was practicing some Tai Chi and some hair fell into my face. I brushed it back with my hand and with it came a big clump of hair. “ Uh – oh” I thought . “ It’s starting." and with that, came the tears. I continued with my Tai Chi affirming “ I am strong- it’s only hair.” And more tears came. “ I am strong- it’s only hair” and still more tears. By the 9th or 10th affirmation I was able to say it like I meant it – without anymore tears. “ I AM strong- it is ONLY hair.”
Just about this same time, my son came strolling in the room. Seeing the aftermath of the tears he asked “ What’s up?” and I told him “ I guess it’s that time when I start losing my hair- I think I will have to shave my head soon. “ Without skipping a beat he said “ Hmm- can you wax my eyebrows when you’re finished?” Puts things into perspective huh?
My husband wasn’t as upset about me losing my hair as he was about the possibility of him not shaving my head. I told him I would wait until Sunday when we saw him in Vegas. I couldn’t think of a better person to do it.
Angie,
Why is it that you seem to do rather
big events in Vegas? Get married, shave your head....why not, huh?
Leave it to Brandon to put things into place. Bless him !!!
I will call tonight
Love, Mom

That's true isn't it? I guess it's a rather drastic kind of place. Now,maybe if I win a million dollars on one slot pull- THAT would be drastic and vey cool. . ..either way, I suppose it's a good place for new beginings- like the opening of the restaurant too- Well, I will update you with some pics.

Hi Its Gina. I just came over to mom's house to read all the entries you put in. Once again, wow you are a good writer! Mom told me about shaving your head in Vegas. I was thinking about that and for some reson, I kept thinking about being a waitress and waiting on fancy customers and the owners families. That is you. I kept thinking, I hope she goes in to the restaraunt with her newly shaved head and the workers will be all giddy because they got assigned to the owners family table. Kind of like royalty (Little do they know you and your family are some of the most genuine people on the planet) I really don't know why I wasn't focusing on your hair, I just kept seeing you all beautiful and bald walking in to the place. Cool. Well, I will call soon, I would love to tell you more about Christmas and hear more about your trip, it sounds wonderful.
I love you!
Me

LOL! You are funny- I wish I could say I am going right out to sport the bald look - but I think I might need my wig for a few times. I am ready to let my hair go- it's getting gross now- falling out all over the place- I am afraid to brush it or I will pull it all out. I'm ready for the clippers.
I will talk to you on New Years
