Glamour Day at Gamma West

June 11, 2014

Good Morning Dear Family and Friends,

Had a good and unsusual day yesterday while getting my 4th radiation treatment at Gamma West in St. George.  I like everyone there so much!  They invited me to join in on a party they throw every few weeks.  It involves getting make up done and you get a big goodie bag full of cosmetics.  It's a way of helping mostly women, but men are invited too, to learn how to make themselves look a lttle better while we are going through out treatments.  Well, you know me, [Just Sue], plain and not much of a make-up wearer...well when they told me there would be lemonade and chocolate, I was all in!!!

All of the nurses and radiation techs are mostly cute young men and sure are a lot of fun and they joined in to help...it was pretty hysterical !!  The makeup artist Lady that came asked me...ME, OF ALL PEOPLE, to be her model.  Well, after blushing at the thought, I humbly agreed.  I think she picked me because, at this time, I was the only one that still had no hair!  I thought, oh heck, just go with it....anything could be an improvement!  And I knew Mom would be thrilled as she's always thought I could do with a little makeup!

Well, we cleansed and toned and buffed and blushed and put eyebrows and eyeliner and lipstick all around.  When it was all done, I did feel pretty glamed up and the artist even tipped my hat to the side, giving me that sassy,  on the catwalk, look!!!!  I felt silly, but whooped it up!

When I came out of the party to show Joe, he got a big grin on his face!  He thinks it's funny when I strut my stuff!  Anyway, he later told me that he prefers just the regular ole me and I'm very grateful for that as I didn't really like the feel of all that on my face.  Out in the real world though it probably did look nicer.  Well, at least it was a fun experience and I did some networking with fellow people who are experiencing some of these same feelings now.

Love you all and have a wonderful day now!!!!  Tell me about you....
