Do you like my wig?

Ryan took me to Spencer this morning for a wig fitting.  I was lucky enough yesterday to nab the last appointment the lady had for today.  When I went for my nurse check yesterday the nurse advised me to pick out a wig while I still had hair on my head!  She said, "Do it fast!"  Good thing I went today because there was a HUGE amount of hair in the drain this morning.  The average person on the street wouldn't be able to tell yet, but I can tell my hair is thinning FAST!

When I was in college, Rogaine had just come out on the market.  As a joke my roommate, Carolyn, had the company send me the information packet.  I'm fairly certain that they didn't send product, but I remember wondering how I got on that mailing list.  Well today the lady at the salon said that if I used a special shampoo, not Rogaine, my head would stop itching during this hair loss stage.  I'll sure give it a try because I am tired of waking up with my head feeling like my hair has been pulled back in a too tight braid all night.

The first wig I tried on was just for size.  When she put it on my head it looked like the worst head of hair I had ever seen!  After she figured out my size, average, she brought out an assortment of catalogs.  The wigs in the front of the first catalog cost over $1,000!  I about dropped the catalog on the floor and ran out of the store.  I'm not so vain that I need a wig that costs the same as purchasing 10 pairs of Dansko shoes!  The lady assured me that the wigs were much more reasonable toward the back of the catalog.  Right away I found a wig I liked and she had a sample that I could try on.  It was not the right color, but it was a great style.  We then plowed through the color samples to find one that matched my hair.  We found one right away, but of course the wig I liked didn't come in that color.  The wig came in lots of crazy colors... who needs a wig in one of those crazy colors?  A drag queen, no doubt.  We finally settled on a color that looked like a normal lady in her thirties, with two children, would wear.

Ryan and I finished our trip to Spencer by a quick stop at Menards to buy a drain unclogging device.  The sink in the half bath off the family room has been quite slow lately.  I know that a huge amount of sand has been washed off in that sink, so I hope that this special drain snake will work.  When you have two kids you never know what has gone down the sink.
