Something New

My little sister, Becky, started her chemo today, and we all got new haircuts to prepare for it. Becky has her lovely henna, so we still don't look as beautiful as her...all you can do it try, right?

Shaving your head is strangely liberating - you're letting go of something that you're used to obsessing about....or at least occasionally brushing (let's be honest).


It was also an excellent excuse to go buy some cute hats and scarves!...since my kids are still getting used to my new do (they're slightly horrified of being seen with me in public). "Mom! Put a hat on! Your head is freaking me out!"



Jonny let me shave his head too. We have big plans to paint blue arrows on our heads for the "Last Airbender" movie opening!
