My day was made by a bunch of red heads.

I've been super busy lately, and it seems like I am constantly running from meeting to meeting, and am never ever home. Tonight as I was driving to a meeting from a different meeting, I was passed several times by a Suburban carrying a large family of red headed children. Mom was driving and the oldest kid in the car looked to be about 12. The youngest of the 5 children looked to be about 5. I first noticed them when they pulled up next to me at a stop light. The 5 year old was making ridiculous faces and crossing his eyes. I couldn't help but laugh. The kids saw me laughing, and I could hear them getting more and more excited. I drove a little further down the road, and looked in my sideview mirror, when they came up next to me again. This time all 5 kids were making faces. This went on for about 3 miles. And it was just a fantastic time.

Thanks kids, it was just what I needed!

I love my haircut.

The Only problem is that if I comb my bangs just right I look an awful lot like someone else.

Pie, Brits, and Oral Hygiene

So some people would like to post ways to spice up your love life. Given recent circumstances, I am really not a good source of those types of recommendations. So today I would like to give you some fun ways to spice up girls night out.

1. Find a good chick-flick type movie to see at the dollar theater. (Becky and I saw Miss Potter, the biography of Beatrix Potter, Excellently done, and I highly recommend it)

2. Buy some taco bell and sneak it in using your smuggling purse. eat said tacos during the previews.

3. When going to Village Inn for pie after the movie, pick an accent and commit to use it for the rest of the evening.

4. When the waitress says "Oh, your accent is so beautiful", smile in a politely abashed way and say "Oh, Thank you!"

5. Eat Pie.

6. on the drive home, discuss with your sister how you honed your british accent to the perfection that it is today. Mine for instance was developed when I met a highly attractive Englishman while living in Texas. He was in town visiting with his brother's family and he was lovely. We spent a week together playing games, staying up until all hours, going to Wendy's and Wal-mart. We went to Wal-mart on one of his last days because he had some things he needed to pick up. I was in the market for a new mouthwash. He suggested Tom's of Maine. Before thinking twice I was taking advice on oral hygiene from a Brit. (not really a great thing to do considering the entire nation is often mocked for having poor oral hygiene.) The mouthwash was excellent, although it did taste like spearmint. (bleeech!)

7. Pick an odd, somewhat obnoxious laugh. Use this laugh as much as possible until you either a. cry, b. pee your pants, or c. both.

8. Go home and send an e-mail to the very hot British man under the pretense that you were just going through your e-mail and found his address. (When really you are just wondering if he is married yet).

9. After sending an e-mail, blog the whole stupid affair.
