A Blonde Moment...


I tend to pride myself in my intelligence and I do think I am mostly smart, but when it comes to technology...I am a total blonde (disclaimer: I think I am a brunette although it's hard to tell under all of this dye)...Well, we got a new camera for Christmas and I was loving all of the sweet pictures I was getting until the batteries died...I purchased those fancy rechargable batteries and got them in and the camera was totally dead...I was furious, we only took about 30 pictures and the think just stopped working. Yesterday I took it back (with the receipt) and good ol' fashioned Wal-Mart said that they won't return cameras after 30 days of purchase...WHAT? The girl was so nice and decided to call in the camera guy to see if he would override the 10 extra days. When I came back to customer service, the camera guy spotted me asked if this was my camera...and then proceeded to say that it works great...WHAT? He said all I needed was some decent batteries...I have decent batteries, in fact they are the same batteries that he was using...but OOPS...I put them in wrong! HaHaHa...

Atleast you didn't take in your "memory card" to get pictures, and they laugh at you and say "what do you want me to do with that, that is the battery". My poor Aunt, everyone makes fun of her for that!

SO FUNNY! : ) I'm afraid that's a story that might be worthy of being passed down through the generations, laughing about something Grandma Amy once did... hee hee...
I've been having so many blonde moments lately, I'm getting scared of myself. Thanks for sharing and showing me I'm not alone!!!

Amy, you make me laugh. I've had many blonde moments too(especially lately). My sister still actually thinks of me as blonde- I was blonde growing up. Thanks for the giggles.

So you saw my mom while you were having your blond moment... the funny thing is she would probably have been in there doing something just as "blond" she is a bit "flighty" right now. Well I will tell her hello, she is up there helping them out for about a month or so. But if you think you see her, then yep you're probably right! Enjoy laughing at yourself, that's what helps us make it through the day!! well laughing at ourselves and others... heehee
