You get a week’s worth of blog material!

I suppose I asked for it.

Ha- actually I did ask for it- and I’m thankful because you ladies helped a girl out.

Okay- so post #1 this week is to reveal some of my continual blonde, stupid “B-Love Moments.” Actually, most of this week will be me revealing some of my continual, blonde, stupid “B-Love Moments.”

I’ll start with Jacqueline. Here’s what she had to say:

You could always blog about how you tried to pay for pizza with a coupon...or how you wore two different shoes on the first day of junior high...or you could just...you know...go over to my blog, read it, show me some love, say “interview me” and maybe I’ll get more creative with topics...just a suggestion :DJ

Okay- so here goes:

Believe it or not- I’m sort of smart. I’m not an idiot. I graduated with honors from college- only 3 grades were not As my entire career.

Okay- so I’ve established I’m not a complete idiot, however I do have a lot of blonde moments.

...

That could be an understatement.

Okay so back in the day Jacqueline and I we’re really really close and if you were looking for her- you simply needed to look for me. In fact- we even had silly nicknames for each other.

Because I’m almost 26 I won’t tell you what they are, because they’re goofy.

(Dude!.... ha ha....okay- inside joke… moving on)

Anyway, so one night in junior high (yes- old enough to know better...) Jacqueline stayed the night at my house and late at night (late as in- my parents were already asleep) we decided we wanted to order a pizza.

Because we’re smart and frugal girls, we found a coupon and the best price for our pizza. I don’t remember all the details (Jacqueline you probably do!) but it was something like- $14.99 for a large pizza.” Oh- and I think we got breadsticks.

Actually- I have no recollection, but I’d like to think that we did.

Jacqueline- can we please pretend that we did?

Okay-

So the guy came and the total came to something like $18.00 ( I have no idea, really).

I kindly gave him the coupon and $3.01.

I shut the door and was ready to get back to our night of fun!

About 3 minutes later, the door bell rings (Hmm- I can’t imagine who that would be!)- waking my parents.

Of course.

The pizza guy was standing there dumbfounded and was like-

“Um- I think you owe me $14.99.”

I looked at him all confused- and ready to tell him what an idiot he was- I had a coupon mister!

My parents came out to see what was the clamour.

Ha ha, clamour. I always wanted to say that.

I explained to them that I had a coupon! Darn it! I had a freaking coupon!

Then then explained to me that just because the coupon says I can get a pizza for $14.99 it doesn’t mean that the coupon was worth $14.99.

Ahhh- I get it now.

Anyway- they had a good laugh with Jacqueline and probably the pizza guy (I blocked it from my memory). They paid the guy with the right amount, and then they laughed some more.

Yeah- I’m a smarty.

Ha ha, trying to get a pizza for $3. Genius.

Alright, so that was the first story.

The second? Just as embarrassing- but much more public.

The first day of 8th grade I wanted to make sure I looked great- after all, I was no longer on the bottom of the food chain! I put my outfit on but had one predicament- shoes.

Should I wear the brown sandals with the elastic back, or the brown sandals that covered my entire heel.

Hmmm…

I went out to ask my mom-

“They both look good!”

Oh- and for the record, I hate when people do that. Why can’t people tell you which one they like better.

....

Okay- nevermind. I do that all the time to people too…

Anyway, I continued to debate and began running behind schedule. I finally made a decision and was out the door to go to school.

I arrived at school, and as soon as I got off the bus I felt something funny. My left heel felt wet from the dew on the grass, but my right heel was dry.

Strange.

I looked down and-

although I made a decision on which shoes to wear, I failed to actually change them.

I.wore.two.different.pairs.of.shoes.to.the.first.day.of.school.

Wow.

Genius.

I was mortified.

HOWEVER-

Although I was mortified, I was too stupid to call my mom and beg her to bring me the matching shoe I needed.

Instead- I went through the entire day with two different pair of shoes, fielding dozens of questions and snickers.

Why!?

Why didn’t I call my mom!?!

Ugh- I still wonder.

So- there you go.

Two incredibly embarrassing B-Love moments.

As you can see, junior high was not very good for me.

Ha- actually pretty much every day goes a little bit like the above- only I’m sure to check my shoes before leaving each day that’s for sure!

Lots more to come. A few more people posted comments which I’ll share.

I’m pretty sure I made your Monday look a whole lot better.
