Wiggidy, Wiggidy WHAT? Wigs. That's What.

So I feel as though I have a good bit of updating to do.  Most of you know Mom had her second round of chemo....the day of went OK, but it went downhill a bit from there.  Side effects and whatnot were worse this time...more nausea, more gross taste in her mouth, more general ickiness, etc.

AND, last Friday, Dad shaved her head.  She complains that her head is like, square shaped.  It's not...and it's actually a really cute head, if you ask me.  And as Bethany put it--she looks "hip" with her bald head!

In any case, us gals did a little wig shopping today.  We went to a place called "Classy Wigs" so how could we not come out with something TOTALLY classy?!  In fact, I can't quite figure out why the word CLASSY isn't on their sign outside.


So, upon entering we were greeted by a LOVELY southern lady, and, you guessed it, LOTS of really creepy mannequins.

Pretty sure they will steal your soul if you look at their dead eyes for too long.

We tried on SO many wigs that I think the lady was getting sick of us towards the end, as we choked on our own laughter and selected wigs we knew we wouldn't buy.  I mean, I get it.  Kind of.  Anyways...BEHOLD, the gallery of my Mom in wigs of every shape and size!!

I think this one is super cute.  Even blonde!  She didn't agree.  :)
Looks kinda like an old country-western singer hairstyle, yes?

We all loved this one!  MAYBE you'll see this wig again someday in a different color....

This was like....$375 and didn't even look as nice as most of the others we tried on!

After Bethany said this looked like Roseanne Barr's haircut, Mom PRACTICALLY threw it across the room.

She laughed SO hard when she first put this one on...but it's kinda cute with the bangs fixed up!!

Ick--makes her look waaaaay too old!  

So what did we walk away with today?  Something marvelous.  Something magnificent.  Something that, every time Mom put it on, she SQUEALED with delight.  Nothing made me happier today than seeing her feeling SO good about herself!  It's funny how something like hair can make that big of a difference, but it does.  Here is the gallery of goodness that came from our WINNING WIG!  Drumroll please.....

SHE IS THE CUTEST THING EVER!!!

Here are a couple different views; not QUITE as vixen-y, but equally stunning:

Look at that sucker in the sunlight!!
Straight up adorable.


So, after we found THE wig, we naturally felt like celebrating.  What better place to do that than Steak N Shake?!!?  Honestly.  Bethany, Mom and I split the TASTIEST milkshake on the planet.  I am not kidding.  You have to go get one.  SALTED CARAMEL PRETZEL.  It will change your life.
 

So, all in all, today was a very uplifting and wonderful day!  Just look how happy we all are!

Mission Accomplished.  
Until next time....

Hugs,
S
