Contest: Legally Blonde tickets
UPDATE: THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED
The Walton Arts Center’s 2009/2010 schedule is complete and starting off the season is Legally Blonde the Musical. If you’re a fan of the original 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon, you’ll be excited to know that the Broadway adaptation is getting good reviews. Not because it pays attention to deep sociological details or because it’s theatrically artistic. But because it’s apparently just as fun as the movie.
From the Chicago Tribune:
“Legally Blonde” never stops feeling like a guilty pleasure — something akin to watching daytime television and secretly liking it.
If you’d like to score yourself a pair of tickets to the opening night performance, here’s your chance.
How to enter
Just leave a comment on this story explaining a memorable “blonde moment” in your life. We’ll pick a random winner from all the entries. Need help getting started? Here ya go: My dog Sadie will pee on a guest’s lap if I don’t take her outside to relieve herself immediately before the guest arrives. This morning, Jon stopped by (as expected) by to pick something up and I totally just watched Sadie run towards him, jump in his lap, and pee all over his pants even though I knew I hadn’t taken her out beforehand. That’s my blonde moment. What’s yours?
What you’ll win
You’ll win two tickets to the opening night performance of Legally Blonde the Musical at the Walton Arts Center on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 at 7:00PM.

I have a bad habit of throwing the gum away and keeping the wrapper in hand.

Well, it’s my wife’s moment, but that will have to do.
Recently, we were sitting around the house and watching tv. Somehow, we landed on CNN as the infamous James Carville was, as typical, lambasting someone about something. In what could only be labeled genuine disgust, she turned and asked me, “where is that guy from?”. “Louisiana”

Sequence:
1) drive to grocery store;
2) buy milk, juice, other grocery item;
3) leave store and drive home;
4) place milk on counter;
5) place keys in fridge;
Next day: wonder where I placed keys; wonder why the milk is still on the counter.

I don’t want the tickets, but:
I once bought a sandwich at Subway in downtown Dallas. I had $107, (a hundred dollar bill, and 7 singles) and no change on me. The total came to $7.01. I handed the guy behind the counter the $7.00, and gave him that look of “brother, can you spare a penny?” He said, “I need one cent”. I said “really?” He was firm. I got a little pissed, and said “You’re not going to spare me a penny?” He said no. I said “Fine, then, keep your sandwich.” And walked out in a huff, to teach him a lesson.
About four blocks later I realized not only had I left the sandwich, I had left my $7.00, too.

I regularly forget the easiest things, like words, and basic phrases but maybe I should just blame that on advancing age.

I have so many blonde moments that it is hard to choose. One of my best ones is as I walked outside of a Chile’s Resturant with my roommate and her friends in Colorado Springs, CO there was a giant boulder. I walked up and knocked on the boulder and my roommate said, “What are you doing?” I replied, “Seeing if this rock is hollow?” Yes true story. And I am also known for pouring soda into my bowl of cereal instead of milk early in the morning!

I once flew into an eagle’s nest during the middle of the day.

Well, sad to say, but I have many ‘blonde moments’, but this one is definitely the worst.
I cut hair for a living, and one day a friend that I hadn’t seen in awhile came in to the salon where I worked. Her hair is very thick so I always texturize it dry. While catching up with my friend that I hadn’t seen, I reached down and grabbed what I thought was my thinning shears, made a section in the front, and cut. I looked down in horror at the clump of hair that fell in her lap. I said, ‘Oh **** I am so sorry!’ We both started laughing hysterically. And her mini bangs, as they turned out, were fabulous! She looked amazing, and she and I still laugh about it to this day! Won’t ever make that mistake again! Whew. :)

Once was going to met a friend for dinner. She called us on the phone wonder where we were. Told her at the place we were meeting. She said I am there and can not see you. End up we were at the wrong place next door to where we should be.

I have to many so here is the most recent. On the phone with my friend and right before ending the call we confirmed to meet at XYZ bar. I’ll be there in 5 minutes i say. He says sure we’re waiting here. I go to ABC bar. I wait for about 20 minutes. I call and ask where are you guys I don’t see you. He says out on the patio. I say what patio there is no patio are you really here because I am, quit joking with me. He asks me where I am. I say ABC bar, (wait for the duh) …. oh! right you said XYZ bar. … OK! well then I’ll be there in a minute.

I rarely know what direction I’m going or how to get places. I’ve lived in the same town for 25 years and I often can’t figure out how to get back to places I’ve been millions of times. I guess I was just born without an internal compass. As a tradeoff, though, I am fluent in 5 languages.

Nothing can be better than one day I was getting all my stuff to leave my house and talking on the phone the whole time. I always take sunglasses, phone, and of course my keys…..As I was getting all my stuff together I started to panic not knowing where my phone was and how I couldn’t leave my house without it. Not realizing I was talking to my friend on the other I let her know that I was having trouble finding my phone. As I went around the house panicing I finally realized that It was attached to my head as I was talking on the phone at the time! Man I felt stupid!!

My uncle (father’s brother)was watching the house, when my parents were out of town. The phone rang and they asked for Mr. Keith. I said he is on vacation. It was for my uncle and it was the airline, with his itenerary.

Yesterday actually I was at Sam’s Club and thought I had lost my purse, while it was on my shoulder the whole time. I was carrying my baby on that arm so I didn’t notice the weight of it there.

I was on the phone ordering a guitar pedal while I was typing an email to my husband. The conversation was ending as I was typing “love you,” but I ended up saying, “love you” and writing “thanks for the great deal.” The guy on the other end of the phone giggles and says, “well I luuuuuuuv you too.” Later, I get an email response of, “WTF did you buy this time?”

While leaving an unfamiliar office one day, I accidentally opened and (almost) walked into a closet instead of the outer door. Of course I looked behind me to see if anyone was looking!

My cousin had just gotten her driver’s license and she and I and her sister were tooling around a little town in Texas, cruising so cooly around the square at night. Everyone was honking and waving and, being the teens that we were, we thought it was just our total coolness. We eventually pull over and discover we’d been driving around without our headlights on.
