So, when I realized I only had a month left with this hair of mine, I decided it was time for some fun! First I decided to cut it off and donate it, and Jason and I also decided it would be less shocking for the kids when I actually do lose it. My oncologist made a good point. He said it would be better on our plumbing. Very practical. I like that in a doctor.

Sitting with my sister and my neighbor, we talked about doing something fun with my hair! But when by the time I went to bed, I had lost my nerve. Jason said to go for it. He said, “As long as I’ve known you, you have talked about going platinum!”

So for one more month.... This is the fun new me! Story Jane squealed and said we matched! It will take some getting used to, but I’m so glad I did it! I have the best neighbor! Thanks, Ali, for giving me courage.
