Hey Mari
Long time no see. What's going on in your neck of the woos?
I'm home for Christmas - YAY!!!!
I see the dermatologist today - I don't really care for him personally, he's very condescending, but he is knowledgable. I had some injections, we'll see how it goes. He's not very optimistic, but I wanted to try.
I went to a church Christmas dance last night and had a blast! I wore a hat that was an early Christmas present and had so many compliments so I felt gorgeous.
Are you all ready for Christmas, I don't feel ready yet.

How funny! I walk around the retirement community where I work with my shiny head and I go bald at home, but I still don't have the guts to do it anywhere else if I know people. The car is great though...I feel safe. I don't know that I could do it in a small town - although it would be freakin' hilarious! You're right, you do have to laugh at it or you'll go crazy. I live with my aunt & uncle and my aunt and I have had some of the best laughs over my hair, or lack thereof as it is now. Otherwise I think we'd both burst into tears.
Keep laughing!

I look like a total dofus! First of all I'm rocking out to country music and secondly I can't dance...but I love to do it anyway!
I'm sure that people are only staring because I'm dancing like no one is watching, but I can't resist freaking people out...it makes my day. I'm guessing this makes me a little sadistic, but it's great!

Flo brings out my silly side. I have had so much fun freaking people out with her (especially at traffic lights!). I love when people will stare at me because I'm rocking out to the radio. I look back so then they stop staring I take Flo off and then I wait for them to look back. The look on their faces is priceless!
Hey, thanks for the support. I really do appreciate it. I've seriously thought about shaving and doing the scarf thing but everyone thinks I'm crazy since my hair 'looks normal'. I guess they want me to continue to suffer until enough falls out that I don't 'look normal'. They need to spend a day in our shoes as they can still take their hair for granted!!
Thanks - no hurry. I'm still reluctant to purchase just yet. I have chronic telogen effluvium which is pure torture. You still have enough hair to 'look normal' but you don't 'feel normal'. It is probably 50% less dense but other than that looks fine. Thanks...
Oh shoot girl, it is a wig of course :o) One of these days I need to post a pic of my natural style lol. I just went to a local shop and found this one.
I am doing pretty good, and you? If you don't mind me asking in your profile pic, is this your hair or hairpiece? It looks very natural and I like the styler. I am looking for a hairpiece right now.
HI Mari, they have them every year, I think next year is in Texas. I am sure you will see lots of photo's and people comments and blogs about the conference here.

No offense taken. I completely understand being young and riduculed by people who had no self worth I say. But it has indeed made us all stronger.
Loved your last blog.
Hope you have a great weekend.
Keep laughing!
