Orange Moments

I used the expression "orange moments" in my last post. i thought that maybe i should explain myself. i am a red/orange head, not a blonde. so the expression "you're such a blonde" or that was a "blonde moment" doesn't work for me. therefore when i do something dumb, i call it an Orange Moment. this term was coined many years ago at a cross country meet. matt, a fellow runner, was wearing a sweatband around his head and written on it was "phil 4:13." i was staring and staring at it, so confused. finally i asked "hey matt, who's phil?"well come to find out it was short for philippians 4:13, one of my favorite verses. hahaha. anyway, when the uncontrollable laughter died done, Matt pronounced that it was ok- i had just had an "orange moment" so from then on when i do something ditzy/dumb, which is quite often, i say i had an orange moment. it works quite well.

just to clarify, if you don't have orange hair you can't have an "orange moment." you can have a "brunette moment, a blonde moment" or whatever colored hair you have, but "orange moments" are purely restricted to red/orange heads.
