Like when I wanted to open a drive-up coffee booth in my very small town. My husband said it was a good idea, and he did dumb things all of the time, but still I was excited. One of my other friends, who I had thought was smart and I trusted, told me it was a bad idea. So I scratched it, and what do you know, someone has opened one up and it's still here 2 yrs later and doing well! Arg! I should've trusted my own instincts. Yeah things do come to mind.

Everyone in my family said it looked GREAT. And I believed it until Monday morning when I got on the school bus. I got teased mercilessly about it, to the point that Tuesday morning, one of the middle school boys brought in a bottle of Tame conditioner. (Tame the frizzies with tame. Great ad campaign on that one.) My 4th grade perm. Everyone in my family said it looked GREAT. And I believed it until Monday morning when I got on the school bus.

It's like writing a book and sending it out to publishers for consideration. One reams you for the lack of commas, another for your insistence on having any mythological reference and a third simply sends you a form letter making you feel warm and fuzzy inside - then the fourth place jumps on so hard and fast your eyes swim and your teeth clack. People are funny things. Just remember, the Big Boys of the New York publishing houses rejected Jo Rowling's first Harry Potter book but Scholastic hopped onboard happily. Who's laughing now? Everyone has a different measuring stick for success when really it is a hit-or-miss thing. Now, why am I thinking that the hairy armpit chick was Italian or French and the sniffy disdainful person was from Spain? I totally understand the feeling.
