Before and after (at the event) the REAL after photo is at the bottom ;-)
First, I'd like to thank everyone who donated. This really is one of those great causes and reading some of the stories of the children who were diagnosed with some rare or less-than-rare form of cancer at 12 months or so really tugs the heart strings. For me, even more so now that we have Aria. I can't even begin to imagine what those parents must have gone through. and the children are always so happy!
ugh - i'm getting worked up just thinking about it.
The event was fun - There was tons of good food to be had, and green beer! Aria had a blast moving chairs around in the shaving hall. notice the background of the picture - the chairs used to be in a nice line until she got to em!
Thank you again for your donations, i picked what seemed like an easy to reach goal of $300, and ended up with $715! next year, i'll grow my hair out a little more, and set my sights a little higher. my goal will be $1000, and i bet i hit it easily, especially since friends/family will basically be paying to shave my head because it will look real bad grown out (haven't had it longer than a half-inch since my baldness has taken over).
Getting my hair shaved
the guy who shaved my head went too quickly, so there were some slightly longer patches. when we got home, i decided to trim it up. well, one thing led to another, and i just ended up using my electric razor on my head. yup, to the skin. i figured that people who normally have full heads of hair getting their heads shaved with clippers are sacrificing, but for me that's what i always do. so this is more drastic and makes me feel like i sacrificed a little more than if i kept it the way it usually is.

And I love that Aria is rearranging the chairs. That's too cute!
