So, I've worn my new wig to work this week. It has been easier than I thought. Its funny because I have had people following me around all week telling me I look 'sassy'. HA! It has also been easier to talk about to the people I work with and go to classes with. I knew that as soon as I wore it, I was going to have to explain to people do didn't already know. It has been better than I expected. But, the first time I wore it out with some friends, I sat in the car and cried before I went in.

I also cut my hair really short, 1/2 inch all the way around (what's left). Partly because it was really itchy, partly because I was having my own personal sauna on my head in the southeast Texas heat, partly because it was becoming more and more traumatic to continue to pull out handfulls of hair at a time. This way, I know what its going to look like when I get up in the morning. Yes, I'm still getting new patches, but its easier to deal with this way. I've also started going back to the gym after a few weeks off for my mental health. Its a small family-owned gym with really great people there. I take alot of the classes, so I know most of the ladies that go there. They have been amazing!! Oh my goodness. Its funny how people suprise you when things like this happen. Sometimes, people have totally different reactions than you thought they would. The women at this gym,who don't really know me outside of there, have been so encouraging. I am so greatful to have these woman a part of my life - even for a few hours a day.

I put some pictures up of the red wig and another wig that I got. It was supposed to be brown, but came in blonde. Oops! It was not very expensive and it will be my blonde alter-ego. One friend said that I looked like a hooker in it....HAHAHA! Granted, I was in the middle of changing when I threw it on for her. What do you think??? Blonde hooker wig???

Another funny story, as I had the blonde hooker wig on, the guy who does maintenance on my apartment came by. I ran outside to talk with him (in the blonde wig). I ran back into the house and put a hat on before going outside to unlock my garage. As I was leaving for class (10 minutes later), I put on my red wig. In the course of 15 minutes, he saw 3 different hair styles....oops!

Lastly, a few more questions. Thank you so much for all of your responses to my questions. I don't mean to bombard you with questions, I just don't really know who else to ask...thanks again for being so great!! Where can I find petite wigs that are cute/fun? Which makers? It seems like there are not many options for petite wigs. Both of the wigs that I have now are big and I am having to tuck the ends under. Also, do you have any tips for making the wigs fit better if they are a bit big? I know I'm not the only one with a small head and some of you have to have some tricks to make them fit better. Thanks so much!!
