Wigging Out

Yesterday was my appointment at the local wig salon. The consultant was awesome and it was fun trying on the different wigs. Most of them had crazy layers that tried to fall in my face, and since I'm mostly going to wear my wig to work, that wasn't cool. I was also worried that one of the longer styles would be hot in summer, and get tangled in my stethoscope. I ended up choosing one that's a sleek chin-length bob with bangs. My own hair is too crazy to ever tame into this style, so it's kind of fun to be able to rock this look for a few months! I ordered this wig but in my own blonde color (aka "Spring Honey", haha):


 
 
I feel much better having checked this task off the list. Stay tuned for the awesome pixie-punk look I'm going to have this fall when my hair starts to grow back. I think I'll dye it neon pink.
 
My car decided to break down this morning on the way to bring Shayla to daycare, so now I'm waiting for the tow truck to come and bring it to the dealership for me. Great timing, right? I swear, you can't make this stuff up. The brand-new litterbox I just bought for my cats has also decided to leak urine all over my laundry room floor. Seriously... you just have to laugh.
 
I'm excited to see my mom and stepdad today, and get geared up for the big surgery day tomorrow! It will feel so good to be free of my killer boobies... if you had told me it would take an entire month to get anything done to address this aggressive cancer, I would've never believed you. I'm so glad it's finally happening. Thanks so much, everyone, for all the encouragement and prayers you've been sending my way. I am one lucky girl to be surrounded by so much love!
