Do you ever have those? I do. All the time. Most of my friends do too, be they blonde, redhead or brunette.
This morning it was putting out an unfinished post because I was headache-y yesterday. But most days, my blondeness runs the gamut from, “OMG, did I say that out loud?” to finding my keys in jacket pockets, my bed, the pantry or the refrigerator.
It reminds me of my favorite Blondestar commercial:
Isn’t that the BEST last line?
Blondestar. We’re always on, because you’re always blonde.
Do YOU have “blonde moments?” (Hint: if you’re a writer, I’ll bet you do.) Enquiring minds love to know these things here at More Cowbell!

No way! This can’t be real (the Blondestar commercial). I love when he says, “the shiny thing” (the handle). Priceless.
Yes, I get blonde moments sometimes but, thank God, not too often 🙂 But those that I actually remember are too embarrassing to mention, haha.

I had one last night when I posted on Karen’s blog twice because I thought the first one hadn’t gone.
Once I was asleep in the car, woke up and gave my DH toll money for a bridge and he looked at me and said “Darling, we’re on the right side of the river.” So there you go!

I want to know how the whole blonde thing started. I mean, why isn’t it, “OMG you are such a redhead!” or, “Silly girl, could your hair BE any more black?!”
Seriously…what is the origin of “dumb blonde” I would love to know.

Oh, I never said anything about dumb…just forgetful. I think blonde jokes were created about brunettes that bleach their hair. That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it…

Too funny! I’m blond too. I think most women have blonde moments because we are always double tasking to the point we sometimes don’t know which end is up. Men — not so much. They can focus on only one task at a time. In a way, there’s some comfort in that. 🙂 We may have some blonde moments but we can still run rings around the guys.

LMAO. Have one blonde moment. It happened at age two when my well-meaning mother brought me to have my picture taken, dressed in a Scottie-dog motif top and shorts and crowned with a mop of blond curls. The picture was given to aunts, uncles and such. In my rebellious teen years sporting a Bob Dylanesque fleece jacket and shaggy hair the picture made the rounds of potential girlfriends, who I supposed wondered what happened to the blond tyke. And who was this brooding teen horndog plying them with bad poetry and long walks in the dark? Now when I have “blond moments” they’re called senior moments.

I like to tell people I was blonde as a child, and as my hair darkened the blonde just moved inside. My family sometimes finds me in the kitchen, literally turning in circles as I try to remember what I went in there for. I used to think it wasn’t something I did often, or noticeably, but then one day my (then 12 year-old) son stopped in the doorway and called over his shoulder, “Hey dad…she’s in here. She’s doing donuts in the kitchen again.”
Again.
Pretty much says it all.

I love pulling my blonde card out as needed. 😉 I agree that hair color has little to do with the beloved moments, seeing as many (most?) blondes have another hair color naturally. Regardless, I say enjoy ’em. They are hilarious—in hindsight!

Calendars and clocks bring out the blonde in me. I show up for an event with the tickets in my hand, only to realize the tickets are for the next day. I go refrigerator shopping instead of to the matinee for which I had great seats. Friends call me from restaurants where I’m supposed to be meeting them and I’m deep into editing dialog on my WIP. The worst part is that 98.9% of the time I’m the one herding everyone, but just about the time they start to depend on me again – WHAM blonde!
