Hey! haha thanks for the compliment and that was prom! I have about 3 full years until I get my ring! And it is nice to know that people know our traditions! Haha we are a crazy school, but I love it!
Sorry for the late response- I am moving to San Antonio at the end of this month. I am very excited! I have heard really wonderful things about Austin. I will be flying into there :-P Texas is so incredible.
You have your degree in elementary education? Have you been teaching at all? I still need Texas to look over my NYS certification and then become Texas certified and fingerprinted. I really want to get a job for the upcoming school year.
Thank you Kristen for your comment. I shaved my hair too half year ago because i am sick of seeing clumps of hair on my pillow every morning i wake up. I tried going out bald and people started to stare at me; wondering what's wrong with this lady? Then i bought a wig but it still didn't solve the problem. Fortunately, 50% of my hair grow back and i threw that stupid wig away. LOL. Now it starts falling again. I'll shave it again if the condition gets worse. Cheers Baldies :D
hank you! No, I didn't make the cake myself, I lack the baking ability to do that!! Thank goodness for the talented pastry chefs at our local grocery store!
I'm guessing I'll get my hair back when I'm preggers with the next baby (in a couple years)... and then I'll probably lose it again! What do ya do?
I'm not looking forward to trying to wear wigs in the summer... this will be a first for me. I have a feeling I'll be sweating under my wig a bit! I wish I had the confidence to sport the mohawk I have going on. Someday!
Hey Kristen. Love your outlook on the whole alopecia deal. I shaved my head almost a year ago, and don't regret it. I've had aa for about 11 years -- just patches -- and have been pretty much hairless for about a year. The crazy thing is I HATED having aa -- but right now, I'm so at peace with the whole au thing. It's weird, but its actually easier not having anything at all. I just kind of enjoy not shaving and all that crap!! I have a couple of really good wigs, but 9 times out of 10 I just wear a bandanna when I'm out and I'm just bald around the neighborhood and with my friends. The wildest thing is, you would not believe how many girls tell me that they're actually jealous in a way -- smooth skin without waxing, getting ready in the morning in less than 1/2 hour -- they say it would be great if NOBODY had hair!!!!! Take care, Daria
Hey Kristen! Thanks for the welcome! =) I'm also looking to teach elementary school..probably 3rd grade. I TOTALLY know what you mean about getting them when their young (and innocent) haha! That lesson on Alopecia sounds soooo cool! I never even thought about introducing it to the kids. What a great idea! Well, thanks again, and take care!
Would love it if you were apart of my Book Project. Please Read about it under my forumn on my page. If you are interested, email me at bbibby_org@yahoo.com
Hi Kristen,
Thanks for responding to my question. I have taken Chinese lessons with my children when were from 2 to 4 yo. It was kind of a pre-school, with the parents attending the class. We learned a few words/sentences in Chinese and children songs. It was fun! However, my eldest daugther (now 6 yo) does not want to go anymore.
I'm thinking about insisting more on them but on the other hand, I do not want to creat a backlash with the result of them hating everything related to Chinese culture... it is hard to find a balance....
Again, thanks for your input.... and if you don't mind, I gonna show your page to them: I think you are a good exemple for them!
Bye!

I hear ya on that. Two years ago before it was really bad I went tubeing in San Marcos & wore a bandana but you could still tell I had some hair missing. People floating down the river actually had the nerve to ask me if I thought I should be drinking if I have cancer!!! I think that is what did it for me. How insensitive! I was just starting to deal with the loss too. I hope you're right. THIS year I will go to the lake and say F*** IT! My friends love me for me. Do me a favor, do one extra cliff jump this year for me! XOXO!
Hi Kristen,
The comment about your cousin's son remind me of the one my father said the very first time he saw a picture of my 1st daugther: Diane, she looks like you! Needless to say, he's a proud grandfather ;-)

PS: this is totally unrelated to alopecia but are you of Chinese origine? if yes, did you take Chinese classes while you were young?
