Funny Thing About No Hair

  I am not really sure if there is anything funny about being a woman and being bald. I like to find some humor in everything.

This morning I was a little disappointed as to my baldness timing. I was putting on my makeup and before I got to the eyeliner and mascara. I noticed the smoky eyes that I created; I would make a great Uncle Fester for Halloween.

Not so funny but a lesson learned. Before I went back to work, I was getting practice in wearing my many wigs.  I put on Barbie, Barbie is a blonde long wig I bought for a Halloween costume years ago.  Barbie and I hit the mall for some mall walking. It appears Barbie likes to shop more than walk.  We were checking out a Dillard’s when the young clerk commented she liked my hair. My correct response should have been thank you.  But before I knew it I said “Oh it is a wig I am in the middle of chemo and I have no hair”.  I immediately felt horrible I could see the look on her face. It is that look on someone’s face when they ask you when the babies due and you are not pregnant. What lesson did I learn? Just be gracious and say thank you. If you are going to wear it own it!

Wearing a wig and mall walking and wearing a wig working are two different things. My first day back at work I am wearing Sugar. Sugar is a brunette bob with sassy bangs. I am in a store looking for stock to bring down. Every time I look up in the overhead then down ,Sugars bangs slap me in the face. I am adjusting her all day I feel she is crooked. The girls are not much on working. Sam does pretty well but she is pretty hot.

Remember the lesson I should have learned?  I am at work in a Lowes store wearing a beautiful scarf tied in a twist knot in the back, when I say hello to an associate whom I visit with on occasion. He says “What’s up with the tribal headdress”.  I once again say “chemo”. I wish I could have thought of something clever.

Back to the funny, I still use shampoo!
