Here we go again

Well everyone, I am sorry it has been so long. I hope you are all doing great. I am doing rather well myself, I am getting married, thats right! I am so glad to tell you all that I have met the man of my dreams and we're gettin hitched this New Years Eve, on the beach in Florida!!

But, surprise surprise not all is well. After a year and a half of thick hair and no worries, ta da! I was at a movie a couple weeks ago and noticed a spot on my head, not a big one, but it was there. I wasn't worried, and when I told John (my soon do be husband) he just laughed and said "babe, I am not marrying you for your hair." But as time has gone on the hair is now falling out in the front.

Now, here is the thing. I like being bald. While sometimes it sucked, I kinda like not having to brush my hair. But I have always envisioned my wedding photos, and I have always wanted a flower in my hair. I would like to have hair to put a flower in, and I would like a veil too! Just one freaking day!!!!! Good grief, I will literally go shave my head the next day, I don't care. Just one single day!!! Is that so much to ask?!!

To be honest I am shocked though, I have not shed a tear over this. I guess knowing that John doesn't care if I have hair or not is a big help. He was so nice too, I told him I read somewhere that onion juice helps and I came home to find a dozen yellow roses (my favorite flower) and a big bag of onions on the kitchen table, and he already blended a bunch up and put it in a little bottle for me to use. So, now I smell terrible. :) I may try steroid shots again too, even though I hate those.

Anyways, if anyone has any tips on how to at least postpone the inevitable, please fill me in!!! Also, please pray for me. I don't want to sound all martyrey (I don't think that's a word) but I have been given the easiest road to walk, and I have been waiting for a man like John for a long time, and dreaming of having that one day when I could be the most beautiful woman in the world to him, I really don't want to be self conscious about my bald head, or worried about an itchy wig (cuz a cheap one is all I can afford.) Thanks for your prayers and your listening ear. I love you guys! It is so good to know I am never alone in this!

Juliet cap, silk flower wreath, fascinator over the spot, 1920s veil, lace church veil, hat, wig or partial wig in curls, band with jewel hanging in center of forehead......

Well, that's fine for John, but what about poor ole Alli??? But at least now we all know what's for starters at the wedding feast.... yep, onion soup :)

Alli - congrats on the wedding - but it doesn't matter about your hair, to be honest. It's not about you "looking good" for the guests (whatever that might entail), it's about You and J making each other happy. If he doesn't care about any potential lack of hair, why should you? And face it, when you revisit the pix 10 or 20 years down the line, you're going to be rolling on the floor at the outfits peeps are wearing, not counting spots on your head (assuming they're even visible....)

don't delay going on medication.
take steroid shots if necessary.
go for some allergy tests- gluten, lactose, albumin, etc
try NOT to stress yourself too much- try yoga , meditation, etc
onions may help, even I've heard though never tried.. but what the heck, its your wedding and you have nothing to lose by trying
