Beauty hurts (especially your pride).

December9

I was running several minutes behind schedule this morning when I finally made it out the door and on my way to a breakfast work meeting. When I hit a red light, I just happened to look to my right to see a man in a pick-up truck checking me out with quite the grin on his face. I tilted my head and gave him a little smile while reaching up to tuck my hair behind my ear.

Which is when I realized that? My 29 pink hot rollers that I put in this morning?

Well, they had come along for the ride, safe atop by air-filled head.

    I work at a TV station. About 5 years ago our morning news anchor went on the air, at 5 a.m., with one large velcro roller still intact. The producer had noticed it, but didn’t say anything! As soon as she saw herself in the monitor, she tried to gracefully take it out. At least you found out before you got to your meeting!

    I would have then smiled really big at him and pointed my finger at my teeth and then at him. Maybe i could conivince him that he still had some leaf of lettuce on his teeth. O r a big hunk of steak between his teeth.

    What’s wrong with pink hot rollers? You are just starting a new fashion trend.

    Monday at work after I had returned from the bathroom, I realized that the tag was still on my new pants – and hanging out of my backside….I’m just hoping none of the kids saw it!
