Blonde moment...for somebody

Last week, I was nearly back home from a walk to Jitterz for a nice cup of latte and some reading, when I saw my next door neighbor getting into his car. He noticed me and said, "Are you leaving?" I must have looked at him with total "huh?" all over my face because then he said, "Are you leaving, or are you staying?" I answered with something like, "Ummm ... I'm staying?"

I was completely in my house before I figured out he must have been asking if I was ALSO selling my place and moving.

It was so strange, because when I was walking toward my house with my keys in my hand and he asked if I was leaving, all I could think was, "Does it LOOK like I'm leaving?!?"

It was sort of like asking someone, "What time is it?" and getting the answer "Orange." Only backwards. Random, truly random.

That was not a blonde moment, I would have had the EXACT same reaction, "Um, no...I'm coming back..."...

Oh...for Kenn: if he likes to cook, get him some really high-toned olive oil, or better yet truffle oil. It doesn't sound very exciting but cooks appreciate the good stuff.
