Okay, so I have refused to wear a hat or wig almost the entire time I’ve been with no hair….but I think I’ve changed my mind. Lisa and I both agree that this hat is rad. It’s from SpamokaBe and they give a percent of proceeds to cancer research. The hair extensions are removable and I love the dreadlock look. The one I’m wearing is from the Eco Bamboo line and is super soft. I think all ages would rock it!
It was pretty hot here this weekend. The first big wave of hot. The air conditioning was broken at church today….everyone was using their bulletins as fans. I told Mr. LBB just to stay as still as possible so he wouldn’t exert any energy and therefore might remain cool.
We went out to eat last night and walked around the shops on El Paseo. Boo was the comic relief at Tommy Bahama’s. She just cracks me up sometimes….I wish I had a recorder 24/7 to keep track of her little monologues.
“Cavemen had to wear really dirty clothes. Even at night! They weren’t scared of anything. I’m scared of some stuff…(pause)…like bees. Did you know all the dinosaurs are dead? There are some people under the ground that can find them though. Just their bones.” -Boo
We are very excited to have independent stylist Kelly Wenzel of Stella & Dot as a returning Lil Blue Boo blog sponsor!
Boo got her first Kiwi Crate in the mail! It was a great way to spend the afternoon. It’s a subscription craft delivery……a monthly craft box delivered right to your door. Boo was able to follow most of the picture directions by herself….she just needed a few pointers on a few things. I want one for me!

Everyone has their quirks…..one of mine is not being able to just walk across a queue line. Even if there’s no one in it….I feel like I have to walk all the way through the maze….and I’ll try to direct everyone else through it correctly too.
What’s your pet peeve? besides being made to walk all the way through an empty queue……
I write daily for Babble.com…..here’s a roundup I put together of my favorite DIY bracelet tutorials!

Well, I got the results of last week’s tests back. I’d been hoping that my eggs would be okay to donate for a surrogate one day…..or that at least it would be an option…..but the doctor doesn’t think they are viable anymore. The chemotherapy has caused me to go into pre-menopause. It was all foreshadowed by insomnia and night sweats. Here’s what went through my head all day:
My poor eggs. They were nuked. Maybe I should get some second opinions before I have a funeral for them?
I’ve been in denial about it…..just thinking the past few months that they’d be okay and surrogacy might be in the cards for us at some point. There were some tears today…..but another part of me is at peace knowing that God obviously has another plan for us. I’m supposed to start estrogen patches this week but my mom wants me to look into natural progesterone too…..she’s read a lot of books on how synthetic hormone replacement can cause side effects and increase the risk of cancer. Great…..an increased risk of cancer….what would that mean for someone who already HAS cancer. The whole hormone thing makes my head hurt.
You know what I do when sh*t happens? I make something. I finished up a new pattern today and sent it out for final testing. Yay! It should be available in a few days once all the kinks are worked out. Then I drew an obstacle course with chalk in the driveway for Boo. Boo made us all laugh so hard tonight when she was walking down the hall with lotion all over her and turned to my mom and said “can you pull my shorts out of my bum please?”
Yes dear…..I can pull your shorts out of your bum.
My mom is still here visiting….if you remember she shaved her head before I cut all mine off in January….and she has a wig that she wears out sometimes. I put it on for fun today. I felt like I had a Martha Stewart haircut……or maybe Paula Dean? I think the only wig for me is the Leeloo blue wig…..maybe because it’s “un-sophisticated”?
Here’s my mom with it on…..so she’s obviously a lot tanner than I am! It looks GREAT on her!
So….I got my HCG levels back today. Still at 2. I guess hopefully I’ll be at 2 forever! My new OBGYN said I should be at zero but I’m over that.
Oh my gosh…..I started crying at Costco today. I was all excited to finally get some prescriptions filled…..the ability to cross something off my to-do list……and as soon as I handed them over to the pharmacist she looked a little hesitant.
Me: What’s wrong?
Pharmacist: The doctor didn’t put the date on the prescription so we can’t fill this.
Me: Ugh….well can we call the doctor or have them fax something?
Pharmacist: That won’t work, we have to have it physically rewritten.
Me: Why don’t I just fill in the date…..
Pharmacist: Yeah, that won’t work either…..the handwriting has to match.
Me (in tears): So I have to drive across town pick up a new prescription and then come back to fill it?
Ok….across town is only 15 miles…but it was the principle of it. The pharmacist was as nice as could be. I felt bad for getting emotional because then she felt bad. I think I would have been okay if the nurse at the doctor’s office had been at least a little apologetic that they had made a mistake….but instead the nurse acted like I was inconveniencing her. I’m pretty sure that this prescription won’t get filled for another month or so……
From now on I’m carrying a pen that matches my doctor’s pen.
