ROFL  I am a BIG 'OLD KID' ... WOW... I got an awesome gift from my friends and peers at work this morning LOL ... what a coincidence too... just yesterday my boss asked when was I going to wear my hair long ... and I told her chidingly when my DD gave me back the keys to my hair chest LOL ... what a riot.... I love that woman and my awesome peers and the awesome workplace department where I work...

Yesterday I sat at my desk sporting my short hair and when I went home my DD gave me  back the key to my hair chest that she had hidden from me (how silly LOL I had an extra set of keys all along or could have replenished from any of our three braiding/weaving/beauty supply shops but it was tooooooooooo hot and humid for me to bother LOL and I played along teeeeeee heeeee)

This morning I decided to switch the look from yesterday and today ... for diversity, variety and fun and because I LIKE IT!!! DAT's ME! LOL .... and as soon as I walk in and settle myself I get this awesome book written by Todd Parr JUST FOR ME!

Yup ... little things that make me sooooooooooooooooooooo HAPPY! I love my book ... and at 
50 +++ years young we ALL read it and giggled and laughed and enjoyed it just at much as the toddler that it was meant for.... because youth and happiness is not in a number but in the spirit and the heart ...

I love love love my workplace and my peers .... we are an AWESOME TEAM... here I go with my book ...

Just a few months back I started making a customized wig for my dear sister and she never lost one strand of hair with her treatment ... BUT we had her back ... my youngest sister and I were BOTH going to shave our heads if she lost her hair and we would all wear wigs made by me .... the option is still there ... just in case ... but in the meantime ... I WILL HAVE FUN ROCKING HAIR ... LIKE I always did ... pre and post OP....

This is me today ....

 They are all awesome people that is for sure .... when I had my surgery both my boss and the medical director at the time gave me tons of their clothing in sizes 6 and 4s ... mind you at the time I was struggling to get into my 4-5Xs .... I had told them both I wanted to be their sizes SOME DAY not knowing that at under a year out I was that size and still shrinking... Another bought me bags and bags of  her untouched/unused makeup, mascaras, brushes, shadows, you name it ... and I even forget the awesome brand names at the time ... however since our skin tones definitely do not match me being a black latina and her being Caucasian I passed it on to several of my OH sistas ... It is all done in the spirit of paying it forward and I love it ...  I am keeping my book as as keepsake though ... I love it! LOL...

 So many things to comment on here...

Payout are over 50.....??????? No way!

Awesome book, you should wear a big bow tomorrow!

You MAKE wigs? That is freakin sweet! I want one! Then maybe all the hair on my pillow every morning won't freak me out so much. I can't imagine what's going to happen when they take me off TPN.

 How long are you going to be on TPN? don't freak out too much about the hair on your pillow ... trust it is only hair and it will grow back ... (((((((hugs))))))))

Besides my regular job I have invested in and own 3 hair braiding/weaving salons that my partner runs and manages ... I do cover in a crunch doing weaves by appointment time permitting ... I love making customized wigs too and recently we learned to make lace wigs both full and frontals ... but we are not that good at it yet ... nothing that even we would wear yet LOL...

I am goofy enough to wear a big bow too.

 I'm finally meeting with the surgeon on the 14 th, I'm guessing I'll be on TPN a while yet. I'm only getting 20-30 grams of protein in, and nowhere near enough water.
