Tell us about your biggest blonde moment!

I will start with mine. In Jan 08, a friend of mine, who was the wife of my coworker passed away from brain cancer. She was in hospice and one night I called her husband to find out how she was. He started crying.... I swear to you .. I thought he said " Jane died"... I even repeated this to my coworkers who were standing close by. Well.... I was so concerned about him that I went to his house after work.

When I arrived at his home, he told me... "Jane is not dead". " My neighbor took my dog to have her put down". At least it broke up the gravity of the night for him and made him laugh.

Now how did I make such a huge mistake such as this.. you might ask me right. Well, it is a mystery to me. I was in horror after hearing the "good news" about her not being dead yet!! Sounds warped doesn't it. I left his home and immediately called my coworker who broke out in laughter..

That made me feel even more stupid. He was supposed to " Spread the Word" about her still being alive. Well, not everyone heard about it and the next day our coworkers approached my poor dear friend with condolences.

Ok,, another blonde moment for me. About 6 months ago, I went to take my keys out of my purse to go home from work at 9 p.m and noticed that I had a pair of sunglasses in my purse that did not belong to me. "Who are these? ... I asked.
My coworker almost died ... he started telling me that the assistant decorator had been looking all over for his sunglasses that day and was aggravated that someone took them. He lived an hour away and was not going to be back for a week.

Then, a few weeks later, the same coworker who witnessed my bonde moment was looking frantically for his keys, again at 9 p.m. So, I had a deja vu moment and thought perhaps I should check my purse... Guess what I found?

Sometimes, I get ready for work in the breakroom.. putting on my makeup etc and then am always in a hurry to get back to work. So, for some reason I grabbed up those items and put them in my purse.

No, I am not a thief, just a bit ditzy sometimes:)

Mine would be laughing so hard with company that you fart and keep laughing like you didn't do it. Or hope you laughed loud enough nobody heard it! Leave it to one of the kids too say "Did ya'll hear that???"

Well, I'm a red-head...(with the help of Redkin)...however, I have always thought that although I have heard it is mighty fun being a blonde, there should be a turn-around from some of the typical 'blonde statements'...like, "I'm having a blonde moment, creative and resourceful". What do you girls think?

Oh Deborah.. what a fabulous thought:) I totally agree. Then, I must admit, I would be considered an almost natural blonde if that were the case with only slight lapses:)

Ok Divas!! I have really done it this time. I was in a hurry yesterday to get ready for work. As usual, I am always running on the late side. I can blame it partly on DivaCafe since I am normally in here first thing.

I spend quite a bit of time on my hair. It is a pain since I have fine, wavy hair. I put all kinds of hair products on it to give it a smooth and straight look. Then, I use my chi iron to straigthen it . Afterwards, I use a hair shine product to take away the dullness from all the heat damage.

Well, as I said, in my defense I really was in a rush. I pulled out my small can of spray and sprayed my head with what I thought was my shine product. When I looked at the can, I noticed it was a feminine hygeine spray. Has anyone ever done this? Please tell me that I am not the only one. At least it smelled nice:)

Well...since I'm no longer a blonde I no longer call them "blonde moments," now they're only moments. Anyway, back to the story. (I'll keep it as short as possible.) About 2 months ago I decided to pay a visit to our local library for a bit of research. Now, keep in mind I haven't been in ANY type of library since High School. I went to the counter, filled out the necessary paperwork to obtain my brand-new library card and listened to him as he explained how my new card worked.

Oh happy day, I thought to myself. All these free books. Visiting the library for books needed for research. Why didn't I think of this before? Yes, yes, I understand. Find the book or books that I want bring them up here, hand you my card and check them out. Ugh...why does he keep going on and on. Yes, yes...computers available for internet but only for 30 minutes at a time.

Finally! My library card in one hand and a list of books in the other. But...where...where...where is the CARD CATALOG!!!!
Yes, you read it right. I was actually looking for the card catalog. That's when it finally registered. So that's what he was telling me about the computers. They're also used for looking up books. Oy...what a moment. What...a...moment.

xoxo,
The Girl In The Pink Dress

OMG, I remember that. Polo died a week before she did. He was all broken up because he knew my mom was next.

It is ok Dede, and I do not call that a blonde moment, it was a very trying time for all of us. I miss my mom and realize that George had all of you to get him through it. Without all of you, he would not have been as stong as he was. We all know had bad he was. He was worse than I was. I miss her so much. It has been 2 years and I dearly miss her. But I do remember that whole thing. It actually was a brief moment of comedy during a very tragic time.

I must confess that I had another "Dede- Blonde Moment". I truly believe that mine are much bigger than most:)
I went to Walmart, which I must add is not my favorite store. However, I wanted to purchase a piece of flannel for my dog's bed.

I passed by the sunglasses and saw a cute $10 pair of rimless sunglasses with rhinestones tastefully aligned on both sides. They had the same pair for $5.00 without the stones, but I felt that this would be so more impressive for my Jacksonville meetup. Well, perhaps that is not true since it will be after dark, but I reationalized with this in mind.

Anyway, I paid for the glasses and after the cashier so kindly offered to remove the plastic hanger, I put them on and proudly walked out of the store for all to see. As I was walking through the parking lot, I kept feeling like the silly rhinestones must have been inhibiting my peripheral vision. I removed the glasses and realized that there two stickers on the lenses with the sale price and Uv info.

You really can't take me anywhere!
