I am a bit of a ‘blonde’.
Yes, I am literally a blonde, albeit with some chemical help, but we all know that’s not what I’m talking about. My friends and family will be able to attest to the fact that although I go through periods of intense concentration when they’re needed, I also can be very, very scattered.
Take yesterday, for example.
I didn’t take a picture of this, because it was too humiliating, but let me just summarise by saying that I spent a good ten minutes rummaging in the main rubbish bin outside my house, looking for the winners check from Saturday night which *somehow* (read: me putting it there) got thrown out by mistake.
I didn’t admit this little boo-boo to my husband until late last night, where which he proceeded to go and bang his forehead on the lounge-room wall for about half an hour. Sure, after, he was concussed, but he slept well.
*Karen holds out her arms to to receive the jests and barbs*
Go on – I deserve them.

Edited to add: yes, I got the cheque back, unsullied within its envelope. Hurrah! Will. Go. To. Bank. Later. Promise.

:O So it’s lost..in the bin or did you manage to fish it out *faint*
(came rushing from my feeds expecting to find pics and details of your big night *hehe*)
I’ll admit to having done that myself…but not with a check THAT BIG!

I can see me doing something like that. And after all, it’s GREAT blog fodder.
And really, you DID find it, right?
(If you didn’t, just tell them they need to cut you a new one. Tell them Riley threw up on that one. Trust me, they will NOT want to see it.)

Oh dear – Bettina would love this one tomorrow.
Glad you retrieved it unsullied and still in the envelope.
I’ve done … most memorably a pair of bluebird earrings with Christmas paper.
Congratulations again – on your win
– remember that not the bin.
