Home stretch in sight

Tomorrow is my last standard dose radiation treatment, Friday begins the booster, of which I'll receive 8. Then I'm done getting zapped! On to Tamoxifen after that.

I've been wearing bandannas 90% of the time, sometimes with a cap and I rarely wear a wig. Today is the first day I just wore a cap. My hair is just about filled in everywhere and it's getting thick. Now I'm just waiting for it to grow longer! There's not as much gray as I thought there'd be, but enough to make me want to color it soon. Need the okey-dokey from my doc first.

I love watching the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show every year and last night they awarded Best in Show. We had tornado watches all day and it was raining off and on. Well, I was losing the satellite signal now and then and don't you know, the minute the judge was carrying the ribbon and would announce the winner in 2 seconds, I lost the signal again! Grrr! It came back after the all the hullabaloo was over, but I did see a quick snippet of the winner: a 15-inch beagle named Uno. Check out the back of the ribbon...is that a piece of cardboard stapled to the ribbon? For such an uppity event, you wouldn't expect that! "What, this is just flimsy cardboard? I'm insulted!" I was glad a frou-frou dog didn't take the top prize for a change. I always root for the Italian Greyhound, but I am convinced the breed gets little respect and attention! Waaaaa....

If you like dog shows, dogs in general or just great satire, check out the movie "Best in Show." One of my favorites. I can't help but think of Fred Willard doing the color commentary at the "Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show" when watching the real thing. Hilarious movie!
