Or should I call this Wrist to Hairless Forehead Sunday? Actually, I am feeling excited about my participation in the St. Baldrick’s Day Event today. It will be fun. Some friends are joining us. We will have some food, maybe a couple of drinks, definitely a lot of laughs, and I’ll get a free haircut. What’s not to like?
For anyone just tuning in (and if so, Hi, new reader!), I am getting my head shaved to raise money for children’s cancer research. The event will take place at Arthur’s in Dolgeville, NY this afternoon from one to three. Thanks to generous friends, family and co-workers, I have raised over $1,000. I’m pretty pleased about that.
I did this once before, three years ago. That year I was shaved the first Sunday in June. We had an extremely hot May. I sweated with my stupid long hair and couldn’t wait for the clip! Then the weather took a turn for the worse and we had a cold, rainy June. I wore my toque most of the time rather than show off my bald pate, which was kind of a bummer but what are you going to do?
This year the weather has already taken a turn for the colder. I think it’s 20 or 30 out as I write this. I’m debating which hat to bring to the Bald. I have a lovely crocheted green hat a friend made for me some years ago. I also have a black fashion hat I purchased last year at a local consignment shop, Linda’s Consignment Shop in Herkimer, NY. At the time purchased it I said I could wear it if I ever went bald again. Seems kind of ordained, doesn’t it?
Oh well, I guess I don’t have much to say about my Bald plans for the day, but I wanted to give St. Baldrick’s Foundation another shout-out, and I wanted to get my blog post written. Mission accomplished, as they say. I hope to see you all tomorrow for Monday Mental Meanderings. Happy Sunday, everyone!
