Will the real Lori please stand up.
Sunday, May 29, 2011 at 10:01AM Someone told me once that everyone has a twin somewhere in the world. I've never quite believed this, or at least not until yesterday.
My work day begins at nine on Saturday mornings. I love Saturdays at work, it is much more casual than the rest of the week. Clients are generally more relaxed and that vibe gets transferred to me.
I parked in the parking structure as usual. The structure has been under construction and parking has been at a minimum. If I arrive past 9:00, I usually end up on level five, but yesterday I got lucky, I got a prime spot on level 3. I thought, this is a sign that the day was going to be a good one.
After parking my car, I grabbed my McDonald's burrito (yes, I stopped at McDonald's, but I did get the only un-fried thing on the menu). The weather had finally broke, just in time for Memorial Day. It was warming up and I even saw some sunshine, something we haven't had for a few weeks now. I was really in a great mood. Which is probably why I did the following:
I crossed the street and headed up the alley behind our salon. As I got to our back door, I see my friend Lori walking on the sidewalk at the end of the alley. "She's up early" I thought. Because I was in an extra good mood, I decided it would be nice to make her day by yelling (I mean yelling) HEY SEXY! Lori and I always have a great banter, so I was awaiting her witty reply back. As I stood there thinking how charming I am, my friend Lori turned to me with a horrified look on her face. I was mortified. The person I thought I was amusing was not Lori, it was a total Lori looking stranger!
I, of course went into my usual mode of muteness when I make a complete ass out of myself. I just stared at this stranger for what seemed an eternity until I finally broke the tension by not saying a word but running away.

Ha! That is so funny!
I would have totally run away, too :)
