My tags expired on The Tank back in March.
Mr. P said if I see any cops, you know, run away. Til we get this taken care of.
A few weeks later, he came to my office, traded me cars, and went to get the inspection and new stickers.
The Tank failed the emissions test. $310 repair job, thankyouverymuch.
So, yesterday I was driving home with the boys when I saw in my rearview mirror - you guessed it - Metro Police.
Crap.
I put my turn signal on (hardly anyone in Nashville uses them, btw) and took the next right turn onto a side street instead of my usual left turn up ahead.
Shark Boy immediately wanted to know what was going on. Why did I do that? Where are we going? Aren't we going home? Who lives up here?
Will you HUSH UP?! Mommy is trying to put some distance between herself and the fuzz, son.
As I turned back onto my route, it hit me.
OH THE DREAM BLONDE #8G SUNFLOWER PRINCESS! (SMACKS SELF IN HEAD)
Mr. P had come to my office, traded me cars, again, and went to get the inspection. Again.
I was driving his car, not mine. Dodging the police in a perfectly legal vehicle.
And do ya think The Blonde ends there? Then you don't know me very well.
Ten minutes later I walked into my house while talking on the phone with Fairy Godmother, set my purse on the counter, and began searching through the purse looking for my phone.
The phone I was talking on.
So, do you have a Blonde Moment you want to share in the comments? I'd love to hear I'm not alone.

I have plenty of big-stupid-brunette moments.
I have so many they were the inspiration for my blog name. ;)
Let's see, I left the sunroof open on my new Explorer the other night and it rained. Brilliant! I think it was the second day I had it. Thankfully it was more like a sprinkle, rather than a torrential downpour.
I've spent countless times looking for the glasses on my face...
(and you are spot-on about the no-turn-signals in Nashville. What is UP with that!?)

Uh, I’ll teach you my trick with cops. When a cop is following you, pick your nose. WHO in their RIGHT MIND wants to stop a person picking their nose? Really, it works.
The little woman done me blonde the other day. I’m at home getting out of the shower and ready for work, admiring my perfect Statue of David body in the mirror, flexing a few of those rock hard abs for grin-grins for the mirror day dreaming I’m in WWF of something (don’t believe a word he says, he’s delusional) when I get a call on my cell phone. I’m standing necked in the bathroom on my cell phone and the little woman says, “Honey, sorry, but I took your keys this morning. I found them in my purse when I got to work.” Oh not a problem dearest sweet honey buns, I only have the most important meeting of my entire life in less than 30 minutes and you’re an hour away. I’ll think of something. Not to worry your pretty little head about it baby cakes. Mississippi doesn’t have cabs. I had to call a cousin.
Oh you are not alone. Ih ave so many, I can't even begin to remember them.
That is so funny. I love the visual on both counts.
One time I was walking around our old apartment, stark raving mad at my inability to find my purse and the fact that I was running late already.
You know where that purse was.
Oh, yeah. On my shoulder.
I have had my fair share (although I am not actually blonde). The one I can think of off the top of my head is when I pulled into a snow bank driving our tiny Civic with the worst tires on earth. Yup, I got stuck. Yup, there were a lot of people around. Yup, 3 guys pushed me out...while most likely muttering "damn woman driver". I was so humiliated.
Your stories are hilarious!
I can't decide if it's the blonde or the child having sucked the brains out of me. It did seem to get much worse after his birth.
I humongaloid puffy heart you! Thanks for the grins darlin'!
I posted about my 'blonde' moment yesterday.
Of course princess informed me a few weeks ago when I got highlights that my hair was pretty now because it was blonde like hers... as opposed to my natural auburn'ish' shade.
My worst ever? I sideswiped hubby's car with mine backing out of the driveway. And, I just kept going. I have no idea why I didn't just drive forward.
Oh those are so wonderful! I don't really have any recent ones, besides yours are so good I'd rather just giggle at them.
HA HA...I have blonde moments too but none that I want to own up to tonight! You are right, not many people use their turn signals in Nashville!
Thanks for the laugh. Have a great rest of the weekend.
Yeah, I was going to say that I have plenty of big stupid silver haired moments. I just attribute it to mommyhood rather than haircolor. There are so many, I refuse to divulge them.
Oh I love the visual! This brunette once sent a nasty email about the person IN the e-mail accidentally. Oh the horror.
Yeah, I have brunette moments:) Not usually involving police!
Oh, I do stuff like that all the time!
I have A LOT of those moments...mine, however come from old age I think..or maybe all the haircolor through the years!
This story was so funny. I have a gazillion blonde moments! LOL
What struck me though, (blonde moment #112: reading while thinkging about 1,152 other things and not really paying attention to what you are reading, although it is a really good post, honest!)
you mentioned in your post (see I WAS reading), about DREAM BLONDE
8G Sunflower Princess.
I just picked up Dream Blonde 11 Glistening Magnolia. Would like to know your thoughts on yours. I am a natural blonde but have turned darker over the years. I usually use Les Blondissimes, but this new Dream Blonde seemed lighter and more the color of my orignal. (before birthin' babies and that f'n Cancer thing.)
Blonde and wondering,
Chrissy
in 20mi nw of Nashville
