When I watch TV, I find myself staring at women's hair. Also, I watched Samantha Who the other night (with Christina Applegate) and the entire show I was staring at her chest thinking that she no longer had those boobs. AHHHH!!!

    My Grandmother was the same way!  She got to where she would wear wigs.  She said she loved being different women and that she thought everyone in town would be thinking My grandfather was running around with her.

    She also used to use the empty space in her bra as her little "pocket" for candy.

    A pocket for candy......now that made me laugh!   I freaked out a range master in my pre-cancer days while I was qualifying with a handgun, we were instructed to find a spot to hang on to a half loaded magazine and I shoved mine in my bra.  I can only imagine his reaction now that I have all this extra space on one side!

    Oh Cathie - I am the same!!!! I call it 'hair envy' and I experience it all the time.  I look at magazines and see beautiful hair, ride the subway and see beautiful hair.  I was out with the girls last week and couldn't help looking at all my friends and thinking how nice their hair looked and how jealous I felt!  I have this weird fuzz all over my head now - after 5 months of chemo and I really can't wait till I can lose the wig and get my hair back!!!!!
