Odd...to me

I have been told numerous times since I "freed" my head how beautiful I am. I know, that sounds so crazy conceded, but I don't mean it that way. What I mean is, we as a society, spend so much money on our hair. Crazy amounts of money. And these people are saying to me I'm beautiful with no hair......you can see where this doesn't make any sense.

I get that people are trying to be nice to me and may not literally mean beautiful but figuratively and supportively mean it. And that's great, because as a baldie that's what I love hearing, it makes me smile every time. It does bring up your spirits.

I am so hesitant to now spend lots of money on my hair, but we all know I am seriously going to forget this when it's time to go get those highlights. I just thought it was an interesting observation, I get way more compliments bald than with the $200 haircut/highlights/products......

My favorite part of the obviousness of having cancer is the stories random people tell me. They usually start like this "My Mom died from breast cancer.........." which makes me a little sad in the beginning, but their story usually ends with "......I am praying for you". Happened at the McDonald's drive through, the lady was handing me my iced mocha (has something crazy addictive in it -beware) and she said, "are you just done with your treatments (that's when I know immediately that they have been directly affected-they know the lingo) my Mom died from breast cancer....(she knew I had breast cancer because I have a shirt on that says Dig Pink....fight for a cute) and I'm fighting for you all the way and I'm praying for your family." I said "I'm done" and she said "Honey, you still need those prayers so I'm a prayin".

See, that's just nice. Nicer than the guy at Publix the other day who wanted to "kick my bald ass." :)
