Sip on the Southern rain
-- Sara Bareilles
I could have been a meteorologist. No seriously. I think I could do it. What other job is there in the world that you can be flat out wrong 99% of the time and still stay employed? Oh wait, maybe a politician, but I digress.
The point is, if a runner up from The Bachelor can double as reporter and weekend fill in weather girl, I could totally do it. And I love weather. It is interesting to me. (Yes, Justin, that is my mother calling right now to ask me if I’ve checked the weather). And growing up where I did, I have a healthy respect for it. But all seriousness aside, pretty much any woman out there could do the weather.
Here’s why – our hair. No really. I can tell in the morning by my hair if it going to rain or not. And I’m right just as many times as those balding weather guys are. Who needs to study the Jet Stream and learn about wind shears and such? A girl with straight hair will tell you on days the humidity is up and/or days that rain is likely, her hair will try its best to curl. And on the other side, on days the humidity is up and/or days that rain is likely, girls with curly hair like me will find there somewhat lackadaisical curls will either refuse to curl at all or hyper curl into a Shirley Temple cut. These are facts, people. And this doesn’t even cover “big hair” days. Ladies, am I right?
