New Hair--New Me!


Well, I finally broke down and bought this wig--they have had it on hold for me ever since August. My hair has gotten so wispy (practically non-existent on the sides), and lots of bald spots. Kelsey and I do a hair dance when we discover little black sprouts on my head...but we thought it was finally time to try something other than hats to cover my head. I like the feeling that I have something on my head again...even if it isn't truly mine. :) So here is a picture. Spence and I are pleased with it, and I feel like a person again. I always put something on my head when someone came to the door--I didn't want my looks to scare them. Yes, I know it is vanity...but it is a hard thing for a woman to lose her hair.

I had another doctor's appointment today, but that was pretty routine, and I am doing fine. Last night we went to see "A Christmas Carol" with our friends, Jim and Candace Hazar. It was so much fun.

Well, I finished my Christmas cards, and that is something to cheer about. I also have my gifts ready that need to be sent...so hopefully that happens tomorrow. Our house still has about 1/2 of the stuff that we have...but you know, we are surviving, and Christmas will go on...even without all the extra decorations! I hope your Christmas celebrations and preparations are going well. Listen to lots of Christmas music--there is nothing that puts you more in the mood for Christmas than the music. :)

  2. You are looking great, Weezy. That hair style really suits you, although I think the long hair California Hippy one would have been more fun. You are doing so great. Don't worry about what isn't being done - look at what you are getting done. Love you, Lindy Lou

  6. I "love" it! A thumbs up on choice too! Looks absolutely great or I would
    not even comment. And others won't know unless you tell them, anyway.....when you pay for something .....it is considered yours (tee hee here).

    Glad you got to see A Christmas Carol, we have tickets for "The Forgotten Carols" staring Michael McLean (out of Salt Lake).....is at the Gammage.
    Is only December 22. I think it maybe sold out by now. We are still trying to stay well, we keep getting better (taking turns) and getting
    worse.......so if I do not make the Gammage, you will be first I call to
    give my tickets to.

    Keep smiling gal, it is contagious.

    Later,
    Peggy D.

  8. Love the new "do"! Sorry I missed you! We were only in town for a couple of days and I wanted to surprise you. I didn't get your call until we got back. Loved your Christmas card! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas with all you kids! Ours will be a quiet one - only Justin will be home. (Jared & Cristina will be in UT with her family and Jeremy is back in the mission field). He was reassigned to the CA Anaheim mission (Mandarin speaking). Merry Christmas....
    Love, Suzie
