Have not blogged because as we all know it gets pretty boring reading boring stuff (especially other people's, so you can stop reading now ;).
This morning Mark and I went to a lumber yard to get some 'parts' for our new digs. Nothing earth shattering happened until I was browsing in the water fountain department! I felt an itch on top of my head so I scratched, and when I looked at my hand...there was a big (I mean BIG) chunk of black hair with gray roots...lifeless!!! So, that uncontrollable feeling that comes over us when we can't keep our hands off of something - yes that one - took over! Immediately I let my hand sneak back up to my hair and gently 'tugged'... and ...HOLY Mother of God!!!! I quickly looked around just in case some one was watching! Instantly I realized that I had to do something with this tuft of hair! I could not just throw it on the floor and there was no trash can in site. I quickly located Mark at the check out stand and went to stand by him. By now I feel like I have a bad, bad case of male pattern baldness and am becoming sort of self conscious :) I felt like my crowning glory was dropping off like feathers - in fact I am now (in my head) resembling a new baby bird with the downy feathers all over except for a tiny wispy mohawk! Vanity, vanity, thy name is JULIE MEIS! HA!
We went out for breakfast after we made our purchases and of course I sat with my back to the wall.
Tomorrow morning at 10:00 is when I go in for my second round of chemo, with a little less hair. But I will be there ....
I choose to dwell on Isaiah 26:3.....yes?

OhMama! There is a Pixar cartoon of a stork and a cloud. Google it and you will hopefully get the chuckle that I did. I love you Mother, see you tomorrow.
You looks so beautiful mom. You have SO much hair I am amazed that after all that we pulled out, it wasn't even noticeable. Amazing. I Love you.
I love reading your blog. It makes me feel closer to you. Mom cried when she read it. I have a friend who went through chemo, radiation, etc., and when it grew back it came back curly! Maybe now you can get the 'fro I'm sure you always wanted! Thinking and praying for every day - Love
