just keeping it real
i am such a dork in so many ways. it infuriates me and amuses me at the same time. tonight, i was more annoyed than entertained at myself.
i sort of had an off day today. i’m not sure where it came from, it just sort of snuck up on me. to begin with, i know that i stayed up way too late last night. i need to remember i just can’t do that anymore – 15 years ago, sure no problem, but now as i approach 35 this year? not so much!
so i decided at the end of this funky day to take a nice long hot bath to soothe my mind and body. i try to take a bath at least once a week and since i received a bath caddy that holds my wine and my book, i enjoy taking bath even more.
well tonight, i learned why many people thinking bathing and reading don’t mix. as i reached over to grab the jar of bath salts, i dropped my brand new shiny book right into the tub! i said something along the lines of “oh crap” before i thought enough to grab it out of the water. i was so shocked and upset at myself, i just couldn’t think. it would be one thing if events like this were a rare occassion but unfortunately, i do things like this all of the time…..sigh….such is me
i did not know what to do but luckily i’m married to a wonderful man who is a super smarty pants and he suggested i use the hair dryer. a ha! a brilliant idea and i’m here to tell it worked wonders! it may have taken me 20 or 30 minutes to get it mostly dry turning my long hot bath into a short lukewarm one but the ink didn’t run, the pages are sticking together and the book is in good enough shape for me to read a page or two before i go to sleep tonight :O)
