I guess blondes really do have more fun

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut judge has given the brush-off to a blonde woman's lawsuit claiming L'Oreal Inc. ruined her social life when she accidentally dyed her hair brunette with one of its products.

Charlotte Feeney of Stratford says she can never return to her natural blonde hue, a shock that left her so traumatized she needed anti-depressants. She says she suffered headaches and anxiety, missed the attention that blondes receive and had to stay home and wear hats most of the time. A Superior Court judge dismissed Feeney's 2005 lawsuit today. http://www.connpost.com/

This is just the kind of stupidity I need on a day like today. The kids are well-behaved and angelic driving me absolutely bonkers. I am this close to clobbering one of them. I'm not even particular about which one. Sigh. We are going through a bad patch. The kids don't really fight per se, but they are constantly bickering. It is a relentless background noise that very rapidly erodes a person's sense of well-being. I'm going bananas here.

But at least I know there is a solution. Blonde hair. Apparently, this lady was Wonder Woman when she was blonde. So that means if I dye my hair blonde all my troubles will cease as well, right? Boy, I'm gonna get right on that.

I'm also going to send off a quick email to Treasury Secretary Paulson and let him in on this little secret. Surely if he goes blonde he'll instantly be able to salvage the remaining shreds of Wall Street. Shoot, I might even copy Ben Bernanke so he can get in on the action.

Pat will be so surprised when he returns from Charlotte to find an impeccably clean home, four fabulously quiet and content children, and a platinum blonde me.

P.S. The formatting is still WRONG! The other day I had too many spaces, and now I have NO SPACES between my paragraphs. I can't stand this. I just wanted you to know that I DID NOTICE.
