A Day In the Life
Oct 28
I don’t know what it is about me. Maybe a sign that I can’t see but the general public can. I envision it to say something like “Say stupid things to me” or maybe “I’m gullible, please approach with crazy story/plan/idea.” Or even worse, something like ”Say the dumbest thing you’ve ever said out loud TO ME, PLEASE, PICK ME!!!!”
Aside from some of the more mundane things like – “Are you SURE you’re not having twins?” when I was pregnant, there have been some real good ones. Sometimes people don’t even have to use words - like the time that someone cut me off in a Walmart parking lot, then turned their car around and spit out their window on my windshield. Or the time when a CHP officer pulled me over to give me a ticket and ended up trying to offer me his phone number (along with the ticket). I even had someone who worked in HR tell me my boobs were big, while we were standing in the company restroom.
Because of these things, my friends have always joked that more happens to me in one day than the average person. If I had a nickle for every conversation with a friend that started out with me saying “You are never going to believe what happened to me today” I would be a wealthy girl.
Recently the activity has picked up a bit. I even got an anonymous email from a “secret admirer.” Seriously. Apparently I am still in 6th grade and no one informed me. I don’t know what I do that attracts the crazies but I sure have cornered the market on it. Sometimes I wish a was a shrinking violet, I wish I was someone who could just fade into the crowd – but no. I’m the girl always trying to get noticed and as I do, it is inevitable that the “noticing” take some awkward form that embarrasses both me and the other person.
So my readers what is your story? What is the stupidest thing someone has said/done to you?

So as I am checking my facebook account (I am starting to get adicted to this stuff) I think to myself HEY, why don’t I post something about Jenn on my facebook to attract more people to her site or maybe we should start a justanotherjenn fan club or something you know to get the wheels of fame rolling . . . you said you wanted more people to read so you could get a book deal, right? Then I come on here to find that you have crazies on your a– so what am I to do:)
As far as random things being said to me . . . someone asked me if I was going to start working out to get ready for my wedding a few weeks before my wedding. The same person told me that my husband should buy me at least a one carrot (sp . . I suck at spelling and you have failed to provide me with spell check) ring otherwise people wouldn’t take me seriously in depositions. Oh and the same person told me that real estate brokers and agents (like my Dad) are the stupidest people on the face of the earth (she didn’t know my Dad is a broker) . . she just has the gift of gab. I’m sure I have more but this site isn’t called justanotherbetty, ha ha.
Blah,blah,blah…..pictures of the grandkids please. In costume perhaps? By the way, will you be going as Sara Palin and Kev as oh I don’t know Darth Vader?
I have many a story of being behind a salon chair. I am always amazed when I get a new client and they decide to tell me all about their issues. My last newbie told me that she decided to go bungee jumping and she would NEVER do it again. She said “It was so scary that it scarred that pee out of me…literally, I peed my pants all the way down.” Ok, why would someone tell a stranger that they just met that they peed their pants? Not really sure but I love stories so bring it crazy ladies!
