Dizzy Blonde: A Whole New Meaning

This is just a cute little personal tale about the beginning of my week... so after fighting off a cold the previous week, I finally succumbed to it Sunday.  I was down for the count on Monday.  By Tuesday I was sure I would feel better. 

Well...not exactly.  I jumped out of bed Tuesday morning, anxious to get back to work and tackle the increasing pile of things that was surely growing in my absence.  Then I fell over.  Yes, that's right.  I fell over, righted myself and then had to grab on to the bed to steady myself.  Dear Lord!  What did I drink last night?  And, why am I STILL drunk?  Oh.  Wait.  I'm not.  I didn't drink.  In fact, I haven't imbibed at all since last Thursday at KPT.  UH-OH!  This can mean only one thing!  INNER EAR INFECTION!

And, the reality (read: panic) set in - as I bounced from hallway wall to wall making my way clumsily to the bathroom - that I had VERTIGO.  It's a complete loss of balance - your equilibrium is totally off, rendering you completely helpless.  Without boring you with the rest of the details about my day's stay in the pseudo-ER and my visit iwth the wackiest (read: quackiest) doctor in the DC metro, I will summarize by saying I was given a diagnosis of Meniere's Disease.  It sounds a whole lot worse than it is.  (I promise, Mom!) So, I now have defined dizzy blonde in yet another way!  :)

Better Blonde

I've updated my profile picture.  The other one is one of my favorites of myself - which is odd for me to say at all b/c I tend to hate all pics of me, but nevertheless, I digress... So, the other one is really good in the actual picture, but when it uploads it makes it too small and I thought I looked cross-eyed.  Which is sometimes how I feel.  So, this is the new one - I think its a bit better and I don't look crazy.  What do you think?  Keep this pic or keep trying?  

Smart Blondes Series

I've decided to start an ongoing series featuring various blondes who I find to be intelligent and exemplifying a true blonde - attractive, smart, witty.  While you will mostly see women featured in this series, the occasional smart blonde man will show up.  I am also very interested in finding out who you all think are smart blondes - I'd love your suggestions for future profiles.  Please submit.  The only requirement is that they must be a real blonde as far as you can tell - for example, Hillary Clinton, despite her horrible blonded frosting, will never be a REAL BLONDE.  Thanks!  Stay tuned for the inaugural post in the series...
