Great! I just mapquested from Ramona to the location of the restaurant in the north part of San Diego, and it says it's 34 minutes. If you're interested, please preregister/RSVP as described on the Bald Girls Do Lunch site. If you have any questions, let me know. I hope to see you there!

Hey Deb.. Okay so I bought an different wig today.. I actually went with Revlon. I have tried Revlon years ago.. but have stuck with Henry Margu..
BTW-Still havent messed with the other Heat Resistant one... I have spent way too much money on hair in the past two months!! YIKES!!!
Okay... Yes.. Dont even want to think about the high school thingy yet.. I will cry my eyes out.. I already know it... I cried soo hard at his pre-school graduation. (Seems like yesterday)
about my hair.. Okay~ you name it I have tried it...
Tried the hair Direct thing.. Yep, did not like it at all.. (But, its my opinion-some people love it)
I also have tried the real hair wigs- (Your right they are too hot)
My favorite is the snythetic wigs by Henry Margu with the half of the cap mono. It seems much cooler, and I can fix the hair any way I want. I put curlers in it sometimes and get it really curly or just let it straighten out. (These are my favorites)
Recently I have a huge black and white ball I am going to. They are doing the Old Hollywood theme~So, I have the entire black gown and lots of goodies to go with it all.. I wanted to get a long glamorous wig. So, I bought something new. Its made by Alan Eaton Collection. now check this out:
It is Heat Resistant which means, you can blow dry & use curling iron. The directions state they prefer you use hot curlers. (Crazy huh)
Well, I will be sure to let you know how it goes.. My event is not til August 16th. I have tried on, got it cut.. But, have not really playing with curling it yet!! I will keep you posted for sure.
The double digit bday-- thats cute!
Yes, renting is good just to make sure you like it.. I did the same thing when I moved to Northern California, I rented for about a year and a half.. But, I fell in love with it up here. I like the water and sports and I am around all of it.. Plus close to travel to a lot of interesting places.
My son is going into 5th grade this year. He starts in a week! I can not believe this is his last year in grammar school.. Then off to Junior High. That sounds so scarey to me.. :p
I totally understand what ya mean.. People need to zip their lips sometimes. Some people act like they know whats going on (Hence that girl at the wig shop) Oh well, I let her say her peace... Do I agree, No way man...
I agree with you Deb. It is so nice to talk to you too!! :)
I do not know whats gonna happen when my son goes away to college.. I have already said he can stay at home until he is 30..lol (I say this now) But, I think I will miss him way too much! He has been here for me through everything. In October we are celebrating as he is telling everyone, "He's BIG 1-0" So, the plans have begun for this huge party.
Just another little thing showing that kids get old fast. I tell him all the time to enjoy it... :)
Oh well, Vegas? Why Vegas? My best friend lived there for 3 years. She liked it at first, but moved back ASAP.
Is your daughter going to UNLV? The campus is nice there.
I am 33, Yes I can totally relate to you.. It was very tramatic! It took me many years to learn how to deal with it.. I think certain things came up and kinda made me accept and learn more.
I always wondered if I got pregnant again, if it would grow back. But, I have been through two horrible pregnancies. The first one, my son did not make it. and the second one pregnancy was extremley hard as well. I was on bed rest for the majority and he still was born a month early.
My son was in ICU for almost a month, his lungs were not developed and many more things had happened..
Kinda why it scares me to even think about trying to get pregnant again.
But, now my son is 9 years old. Healthy as can be.. You would never know he was born premature.
Do you think the hair loss had something to do with your pregnancies? I kinda always had that in my mind... That possibily it could be related...
Off the subject, a gal that works at my wig shop that I go to, said that AU is interlinked with the fear of death. (I dont believe that at all, but she seams to be positive)
I suppose different people have their therories.
I was born in Whittier California, raised in the Southern California area. I moved to Northern California (Folsom) Its by Sacramento in August of 2000. I started my Alopecia in 1998 when I gave birth to my son. By the time he was one years old I was wearing a wig. It has never grown back just developed into AU. Delete Comment
