Yes I did it....Last night I took the plunge and a razor and shaved my head. Well I had some help from the 3 glasses of wine I had at supper when we celebrated our wedding anniversary! What do you know the world didn't end! I didn't have much hair left anyways and what I did have left was pure white.... I wish that stuff would fall out! Nope the "Granny hair" wants to stay....

Well my year off with my daughter who I adopted from China is over.......I went back to work on Monday and I have to say YUCK.........It means the end of that period in my life which I will never repeat again. This time last year we only had a picture of our little girl who we named Lauren. We had information such as weight etc and age but that was it so the sky was the limit.
