Hanson Mania vs. Bieber Fever!!



I'm a die-hard Hanson fan. For life. [Think back to 1997, "Mmmbop"!!] Recently though, I've become a big Justin Bieber fan, I just can't stay away from the Pop music! I watched JB's performance on American Idol from last night and he's just adorable. Haha. The point to this mini-tangent, is that Hanson is coming to Portland!! They're doing a Summer tour, finally, having had Fall/Winter tours the past couple years. Ideally I would love to go see Hanson… Continue

I'm not sure what made me think working 4:00 PM to 6:00 AM was a good idea... But seeing as it is almost 1:30 AM, and I only have 4.5 hours left I do have to say I'm feeling pretty good, in terms of mood. I'm tired and procrastinating :)

But, that's okay. At least the On-Call option gives me a choice. So I napped for a bit tonight, couple hours.… Continue

Hello again! Much thanks for the kind and supportive/informative comments!! I greatly appreciate them as well as making me feel welcome.



But let's get down to business...



Dermatologist appointment went well I think? I'd never been to the dermatologist before, but that's irrelevant. He initially asked an array of questions and then proceeded to take a look at my head. He went on to explain what is known about Alopecia, which sounded familiar having done some reading on my… Continue

I never know if people read these, nor am I ever sure how to begin but the sake of my own sanity I'm writing. Here we go...



Why am I here?



A few months ago I noticed a small bald spot forming and chalked it up to pulling hair back too tightly. In hindsight that really is a moronic excuse, but at that time I had no idea Alopecia existed nor did I think I was losing hair. Well, needless to say that wasn't accurate. I had two friends visit in March, and I was still able to… Continue
