Goodbye Hair

As a lot of you already know, I shaved my head last night.  I was ready to do it, as I did not want my hair falling out in big clumps.  I had originally planned on doing it Sunday morning, but i figured, whats 12 hours early?

Mike was going to shave it for me, but as he put it, he "wanted to be know as the supportive boyfriend, instead of the one that shaved my head".  That was fine, his dad Paul, shaved it for me and he did a great job!  Mike did do a few "clean up" spots - so he did end up helping in the end!

Mike and I went to the Cape - that's where his parents were - to shave my head.  We lit a fire in the fire pit, and as the time got closer, we were all getting a little nervous.  Finally, around 7:30pm we really got ready to go.

All set for the first swipe

My hair ended up being really fine and it was hard to get it to catch on the clippers!  That just meant it was time to get inventive......

even with a T shaved into my head!

After Paul was done doing the majority of the work, Mike took over and cleaned up around my ears and got any strays that were missed.

make sure you get every piece

Finally we were done, and if i do say, I think I look pretty good for being practically bald!  Luckily, my head is not lopsided or something!

and the back

 I do have hats that I am planning on wearing when I am out, but when I am home, I am not wearing anything - unless my head gets cold or something!

Maddie was not with us when all this was going on, she hung out with Karen and Jimmy's family at the lake and then with Karen and Raf at the Bazaar.  When she first saw me, she told me to keep my hat on.  That lasted about 5 minutes, the hat came off, and by the time we got home, she was rubbing my new head!
