Duh!!!
Wow! Two posts in one day! I better watch it, I don’t want to get too carried away!
I had to create a new category in order to accurately describe the stories that will be posted here…(and no offense meant to any blonds who may be reading this post). All the stories are true. The names and places have been changed to protect the innocent (mainly me!) Keep that in mind as you read the following tale and any future tales lumped in under this category.
One reason I wanted a website was so that I could share my life with friends and family on a daily basis. So, hold on tight and buckle those safety belts folks, you just jumped down the rabbit hole and you’re in for the ride of your lives. I hope you find this site funny and amusing. And now, on with the show…
This blond moment in particular is very short, yet extremely blond! The moment started when I arrived at the dentist’s office at precisely the time of my appointment, 7:30 AM. Why would someone schedule such a dreadful activity so early in the morning…why, because I’m insane of course
Especially since the morning activity was going to involve a drill and some horrible tasting filler stuff. Anyway, so I arrive at the office and open the door…at least, that is what I had planned to do. Instead, the door did not budge. I looked at it like it was going to magically open before me and made the only logical conclusion that one can make that early at the dentist’s office….the door must be locked. So I proceed to peep into the windows looking to see if anyone was in there. And there were people in there. And all of them were staring at the door and at me and looking at me like I was crazy. So, after a moment, my dentist came to the door and opened it up for me. It was at that moment that I made a horrific discovery. The door opened outwards!!! Now I knew why the door wouldn’t open, I tried pushing on it (which is really bad since I had actively turned the handle on the door earlier and should have realized from that action which way the door opened).
**I am reminded at this point about a favorite far side cartoon of mine, the one where a kid is bent forward pushing as hard as he can on a door…a door that says pull in rather large letters…I also believe that somewhere in the picture is a sign that reads something like “So-and So School for the gifted” Illustration complete, on with the story- yes, there is more **
The dentist even asked me if I had tried the door and so, to cover up my mistake I said yes and that it did not open when I tried it. Well, to make matters worse, she replied “Really. Let me try and see if it works.” And, of course it did. So now I look like a total idiot in front of my dentist, her secretary, and however many hygienists were there at the time. To make matters worse, she took me right back to the little room and began to drill on my poor tooth. As she preceeded to cover me in toothdust, I decided that this was not a way a person should start their morning….ever!!
And that concludes this afternoon’s entertainment. Thank you and Good-bye ![]()

Haha! I’ve done that before. Not recently, that I can think of, but it is always embarrasing!
Of course… may hair is actually blonde.. so I have an excuse!

It was the Midvale School for the Gifted. I wanted a T-shirt with that on it.
[The useless minutiae in my head ...]

Oh yeah. That’s why I mutter “School for the gifted!’ every time a door doesn’t open because of my own … uh … intelligence, yeah.

You know you were a redhead as a child … perhaps you are closer to blond than you want to let on. Hmm?
