Bald ain't nothin' when you've got best friends...

Not me, but pouting seemed appropriate

So I've been selfish lately, pouting around and carrying on like a baby...something about the mouth sores and dry skin made me feel like I've "had it rough." I went and had my second opinion with another surgeon who agreed with the first on the mastectomy, so still the decision is mine to make (dammit)!!

Anyway...moving on, today I go to my friend Sam's blog (girlnamedsam.blogspot.com) just to find out she is on a mission to raise $1,000 bucks for me...well for cancer, but in honor of me. When that money is raised she plans on shaving her head at my "One upper Party" AND dying her hair pink until that date (March 12)! Now this gal is popular, so I know the goal will be reached. But who does that? Granted, she's gorgeous and will "sport" baldness with profound beauty and class, but she certainly does not need to. Not only has she and her husband made me ENDLESS amounts of meals, but she's listened to my whining for the last two years, she gets me out of bed for 5am runs, she forces me to be a better person.  Guess it's how that saying goes..."like thighs, friends stick together." I jest, but in all seriousness, I am (for once in my life) speechless. I've touted on this page time and time again how blessed I am to have found the people I have in my life. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without them and this is just one more example of the people I have been lucky enough to surround myself with! I am so glad that most of the tears I shed are tears of joy. With my deepest gratitude and thanks, I love you all...
