Blond Ambition...

I need to stop watching television... at least until the writer's strike is over. I am bored with reruns so I spend my time watching the Home Shopping Network. Usually this is not a big deal and I have only purchased 2 items in my entire life from HSN. One was when Carl and I were first married and we bought a handy little grill for steaks that you had to stuff newspapers in the bottom of and light with a match. It cooked steaks like a champ and we used it all the time until it caught on fire and almost burned down our apartment complex. Ahh, memories.

The other purchase I made was those stupid "Slim in 6" DVDs that would have worked it I liked sweating, but if you have read me long enough you will know that I abhor sweating and anything that makes me sweat, so needless to say, those DVDs were a waste of time.

Well, today as I was flipping through the channels, I was compelled to stop and stare wide eye'd at the television. Ken Paves was on and he was showing us how he uses hair extensions on Jessica Simpson.

I was freakin' enthralled!

Right before Mary Claire was born I went to a new hair stylist and instructed her to cut off all of my long hair. I thought I needed a new look, when all I really needed was to give birth. I have regretted that day for over 8 months now and am growing back my blond ambition. It sucks and most days I wake up, look in the mirror and gag.

Ken Paves is the answer to my prayers. Yes readers... I bought me some hair extensions today! Next week I may buy me some elastic pants...

I am no stranger to fake hair. I bought my first fake ponytail years ago and wore it until I looked like Britney Spears on a bad day. Last year I bought another fake hair piece, only this one you put on to give you a nice up-do. It is versatile, as in I have worn it with jeans and I have worn it to my husband's 20 year class reunion. Coincidentally, I was with my sister-in-law for both fake hair purchases. We have also bought jewelry from strange men on the beach and made prank phone calls together. We are a perfect pair.

So my new hair should be here in a couple of weeks. I am so excited to go from a hair grower outer to a VaVaVaVooom hair woman.

I may just put on my Daisy Dukes and eat Tuna all day in my new hair. I can't wait to be a dumb blond! My husband will be thrilled!
