Believe It Or Not, I Have a Closet Full of High Heels

I’d decided it was getting too blonde in the front. But then–in a mode typical of how I’ve been operating lately–by the time I was sitting in the seat at the salon, I decided the color looked fabulous.
So I asked her if she could just give me a trim.
As she’s cutting she’s asking me about whether I need any more shampoo or anything and I say something about Tigi products. But instead of saying Tee-Gee, as I guess the company is pronounced, I said Tig-Ee.
This causes her to laugh and say, “It’s Tee-Gee.You’re reading kid’s books all the time so you’re all Tig-EE, like Tigger and Pooh. That’s so funny.”
Uh, excuse me? She might as well have asked me if I have “Congrats Class of 2008! Go Badgers!” written in window paint all over my mini van.
And for your information, we don’t have a mini van. (Yet.)
Mark keeps pictures of the girls on his phone so he can show them off to people at work. Since I’m always with Kate and Paige, I clearly need to put some pictures on my phone from when I was a business woman.
“Now in this shot I was signing a multi-million dollar contract with a client I brought in.”
“Here’s me at the Monday morning management meeting.”
“Oh and in this one I’m running through a spreadsheet, telling my team about our finance goals for the quarter.”
Really? I have a closet full of high heels too!
Nice blog, mind if I stay awhile?
