1. When you are feeling remorseful about your new hair-do, your blogging peeps will tell you it looks great anyway. (I love my stylist. She expertly achieved exactly what I asked her to do. It's not her, it's me. I do like it. Maybe I wasn't quite ready to change my look.)
Your turn.
2. You get to learn funny words and catch phrases like. "Apocalypse Peanut Butter" and "Cue the lava".
ReplyDelete3. I get to have daily interactions with many fabulous women so I don't chatter my hubby's ears off every night when he comes home.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how your hair-do can affect how you feel about everything? I keep thinking about going back to my natural color too, then I change my mind when I remember what color that is. Mine is dull and boring...and as a result it makes me feel dull and boring. You look good...but I think the blonde makes you look sassy, and I like the variety of multi-colored hair. (all personal preferences of course)
ReplyDelete4. It gives a legitimate excuse to ignore housework. (Oh, I'm sorry, I was comforting a fellow blogger who thought she had made a bad decision! Really!)
ReplyDelete5. You find there are lots of people out there who are dealing with many of the same things you are. Also, some great ideas for decorating, cooking, scrapbooking, good books, etc.
ReplyDelete6. And then you learn even more fun words, like teh internets and clickety
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I was late on the hair thing, but I think you look lovely. Blonde is fun, but brown is classic too. Either way, you have great hair this girl is very envious of!
ReplyDelete7. Sometimes there is nothing good to watch on TV, but someone is always posting on their blog.

ReplyDelete99. You meet really awesome people whose wonderful parents support their blogging habits and don't think it's weird that their daughters have invited a bunch of strange women to their house for a barbecue, who read Elasticwaistband Lady and tell her how wonderful she is, and sit around and listen to us play "Apples to Apples" and never bat an eye when you have to play the "sensual" card.
ReplyDelete100. I get to post at the same exact moment that Millie does, because it's acceptable to interrupt in the blogging world! :D
