Today was a whirlwind. The kids were taken care of by Tricia and Keri and Aunty Jan - and Alison went with me for my second chemo treatment. I should say that my hair started to fall out - really fall out - yesterday, and it kind of hurt. So - today, after chemo, Alison had my back and I took the plunge...
I wish I had an eyebrow piercing, some neck tats, and a bunch of earrings and I could totally pull off the "punk mom" look! Seriously. A funny thing happened at the salon (plug for salon - Henry at Salon 808 rules! They shaved my head and Henry gave me a wig that he cut and styled to match my old short hairdo. Highly recommended) - a lady that was waiting to get her hair done in the chair next to me (gawking) asked if I had lost a bet when she saw the girl shaving my head! Well - I must say I think it looks better than poor Britney!
Thanks so much to Allyson, Keri, and Chris for coming over while I was out to clean the house! You guys rock. Bathroom grout has never looked better! Thanks Marie for dinner :)

It looks pretty good - Dave said it passed the 10' test (later revised as the 5' test) - and it looks a lot like my short cut although a little darker. Owen, upon seeing me this afternoon, pointed at my wigged head and said "funny". Liv and Jack didn't notice - they only asked if the chemo made my hair darker today. Pics of the wig tomorrow.
Mom comes tomorrow - yippee!

Wow! It's crazy to say but you look really good without hair. I can't believe it was hurting a little when coming out. I hope this week won't be so bad for you physically. I wish I could be there to help you! Love you, sam
I agree...you look great without hair & much, much better than poor, poor Brittany. I'd compare you more to Demi Moore in GI Jane than I ever would Brittany. Hope this week goes well. I know you're excited your mom is coming.
Take care! Kim H.
OK Kristen;
I have to say, that it's a little annoying that you can pull off ANY look. I mean really! Just once, for the rest of us, can you cut us a break and take a bad photo or have a bad hair day?
Seriously girl, you do not even need a wig! You look awesome w/out hair! A good friend of mine (Frank's old girlfriend) went through chemo about 15 years ago (she's still going strong by the way). She shaved her head and just went bald and beautiful and pulled it off. You could too. Just for fun though, you should get one of those big old temporary tats and drop it on there. It'd be awesome!
We're thinking about you. Love ya!
Everyone is right about your head - you have the head shape that can carry off bald. Maybe your mom could carry off a bald look, too. Thinking of you often. Love, Char
Hey Kristen- maybe I'm dating myself here but I'm thinking you look a bit like Sinead O'connor???? It really does look good but I'm sorry to hear that the hair coming out is painful. You look fantastic. aloha-jen
Definately better than Brit Brit. Still looking beautiful as always!
I have no idea how you do it.
namaste, Dawn
Kristen-
With or without hair you're still beautiful. And you TOTALLY look better than skanky Britney.
You're always in my thoughts and prayers. I hope I get to see you while we are home (Feb 17-21).
Hugs-

Brittany??? NOT. Pulleaz take her mug off the blog--she can't hang with the K Lem! Can't stand scrolling down to see her on the same page as you.
Gotta agree with Kim H. Demi Moore in GI Jane--Beautiful, Strong, and will blow those $&#(*%& cancer cells away.
Zach says, "She looks like the same pretty Auntie Kristen."
Love you lots,
Mila
Hey Kristin,
You look beautiful!!!! You've got the perfect head shape. Shane had fun playing with Owen on Friday. We would love to have him over anytime:-) I hope this week is better for you and you get some rest.
Love,
Stacy
WOW - you are so strong and an inspiration to us all. You have a great head shape, too! You look wonderful! I am so sorry to hear that your hair hurt coming out. Brittany's got nothing on you! We are thinking of you constantly and wish we could be there to help. We aresening positive energy your way...although...it looks like you have no problem with that! You are so strong and so positive and are dealing with all of this with such grace. Much love to all of you. Gretch
