Blonde moments

I read somewhere that being blonde is not a moment but rather a state of mind. Well I have to agree, but I must say I have some pretty strong blonde moments. Yesterday for example...

I went to buy buttons at the fabric store. When I was filling out my check I remembered I needed to put my phone number on the check. So I go to write my phone number and when I get to the last 4 digits I space...I cannot remember..."oh, yeah!" I think to myself,"now I remember 5032." (Mind you this is NOWHERE close to my real number). So off to run more errands. Next I go to the garbage co. to sign up for trash pick up and am asked again for my phone number. I give them the same one that I gave at the fabric store. This time I realize this is NOT my phone number. But rather than tell the lady I don't know my phone number I say, "we might be changing our phone number soon, do I just call and let you know?" (Which isn't a lie...more on changing our phone number later...) So I leave, get in my car and ask my friend who was with me, "what's my phone number?" She tells me and I feel so silly!! So I have to tell her why I asked and she laughs at me, but understands my blonde moment. And for the rest of the day I could NOT get my phone number right! Every time I'd tell someone the story I'd have to ask Nate, "what's our phone number again?"
