5. I never thought that it was a big deal to lop off my hair!

In fact, I've had to do it twice.

I had my daughter shave it off with the electric clippers, and I'd not-so-jokingly tell people how good it felt to stand in the shower and have the water fall on my bald head.

The only downside was having to wear a fuzzy hat to bed because my head was so cold and the fact that, after losing it twice, it never fully grew back. It's pretty thin now.
