So far, I am completely unimpressed with 2011. To whom do I speak about a refund?

Hubby’s losing his hair. Expected, but still shocking.

My dad lost his hair, and it was a shock even though he was balding before chemo.

Shave? It would look better to me than scraggly hair. I would if I were doing chemo, but then I’m weird and like chrome domes anyway. I’m tempted to do it myself now just on general principles.

Sorry about hubby’s hair, **Annie**. And sorry about the bad start to the year, **Stuffed** and **rosie**.

We’ve watched the DaVinci Code and are now watching a few eps of Cheers. Still funny.

Hope everyone has a good start to the week, at least.

Hugs.

His hair doesn’t look bad yet, but he did lose an alarming amount in the shower tonight. He already has a huge bald spot, which I adore. He’s actually excited to see how he looks bald, and actually threatened to shave it tonight. When it starts to look bad, he’ll shave it.

Morning all!

Please be a bit patient – OP for the new MMP should be up before most of you are, anyway 😛
