Hi everyone!!!!
Christian and I spent the weekend in Ocean City. I was able to spend some time relaxing at the beach (under an umbrella, a hat and wearing lots of sunblock). It was nice to get out of town for the weekend, though it was a short trip. I am feeling much better this week.
I had Christian shave my head last week since my hair was continuing to fall out after my last treatment. I now have a kind of GI Jane look when I'm around the house. It really feels so much better to have my head shaved. When I go out of the house I either wear a scarf or my wig. My wig fits better now that my head is shaved. I must say that it really is kind of fun to have a new look (or a couple of different looks).
Take care!
Love,
Erica

Hey Erica!!! I'm the first one to post on your July 9th post, wahoooooooooo!!! Just wanted to say HI. I'm glad you and Chris got to enjoy some sun this weekend. I was thinking of shaving my head soon, cause I think it feels great, plus its low maintance, and I think its the new style since you and Britney Spears are doing it!!!! Hope you have a productive week, filled with new milestones, and happiness.

Love,
O & *
