Attack Of The Shower Curtain

Have you ever been attacked by your own shower curtain? Nothing surprises me anymore in this house, and I had to admit I have been attacked by even my shower curtain a few times. I don’t know what it is about our bathroom, but when you’re in the shower the curtain gravitates towards you. No matter how hard you try to keep it stuck to the inside of the tub, it ends up under the water with you.

I do have a funny story about the shower curtain attacking me. Just a few weeks ago I was taking a shower, and Bubba, the pervert bulldog he is, did what he always does. He pawed at the curtain until he moved it enough to stick his head in the shower. He’s scared of actually getting in the tub, but if you’re in the shower, he wants to stick his head in there with you.

Well when he pawed at the curtain, he moved it far enough for it to get sucked under the spray. At this point I had shampoo in my hair and face wash on my face, so I had my eyes closed. I couldn’t see what was going on, but I felt something touch me. The next thing I knew the shower curtain was wrapped around me, and I was flailing my arms trying to get it off me, but every time I hit it, it would fly back because of the weird suction our shower creates under the water. I couldn’t open my eyes because I knew I’d end up with soap in them, so I finally had to yell for hubby to come save me from the shower curtain!

Times like that I really wish I had a ShowerBow. It’s an attachment for your shower curtain rod that ads a counterweight to tip the shower curtain out away from you. This creates a ton of extra space inside your shower for you while still keeping the curtain snug against the bottom and sides of your tub to prevent water from making it’s way outside of the tub. Unlike the curved rods that are on the market, when the Shower Bow isn’t in use it isn’t taking up extra space!

Now that I’ve told you about the shower curtain attacking me, I’ll definitely have to fill you in on the real story behind how I cracked my arm! Stay tuned!

Damn It!

My sleep schedule is all out of whack again.  That means it’s 5:06am, and instead of curling up in bed and snuggling next to a very warm Hubby, I’m sitting here surfing through weird websites wrapped up in blankets freezing.  Damn it, why did I let myself get back on this sleep schedule again.  Oh how I wish I could just go to sleep already!

Where’d The Day Go?

Today has flown by way too fast.  It’s amazing how fast the day goes when you’re trying to be lazy.  We watched a couple movies, grabbed some Subway for dinner, and that’s just about all we’ve done today, but now I realize it’s already 9pm.  Where did the time go?

I did spend a few minutes checking out some mystery shopping jobs, and I took one that I’ll probably do tomorrow.  The deadline is Friday, but I took one for the only gas station near us.  We stop there just about everyday, so it’s not like it’s hard for me to mystery shop there!

I feel like we didn’t accomplish anything today because we really didn’t.  I just didn’t realize time would fly so fast.  Bleh I guess I have a list full of stuff I have to do tomorrow.  I might even try to knock out some laundry tonight.  I’m definitely not tired, and I should take advantage of my energy bursts when I have them, but bleh, Hubby wants to watch another movie, so I guess we’ll do that first!

Pimples Be Gone!

When I was a teenager I would freak out over the smallest pimple. When I hit adulthood, I discovered I would most likely be dealing with adult acne problems for years. Certain times of the month (of course), and certain times of the year always seem to be worse. When my allergies flair up, so does my acne.

This week has been absolutely horrible. I swear every time I look in the mirror I see another spot. Last night my Grandma gave me her typical speech. “Girl you need to spend more time in the sun. Don’t you know it’s a natural acne treatment?”

If that’s true then why do I feel like spending a lot of time outside this week has only made my face worse! I know where’s she’s coming from. In the sun you’re hot, you sweat, you clean your pores, but is that really supposed to be the instant cure for acne I’ve had most of my adult life? Ya know if it was I think my face would have cleared up years ago as much time as I spend in the sun in the summer, only my acne is worse in the summer.

I’m going to have to go on a hunt again for some new acne treatments. Even though I’ve got a couple that I absolutely love, neither of them seem to be working anymore.

Ugh AC

I’m trying to be a good girl today.  I’m trying to NOT turn on the ac.  It’s only 72 right now.  I’ve been good this week.  I’ve kept my windows open, and the breeze blowing in has been perfect for cooling off the house, but not today.

Even though it’s 72, it’s humid and sticky.  Ugh. I took a shower just a couple hours ago, and I already feel like I need another one.

Welcome to the south! Now I’m really glad we decided not to go on the Deal’s Gap trip.  A few of our friends still rode up there thinking they’ll ride until the rain starts.  I think it’s a waste of a trip and gas money to drive that far only to be rained out after a couple hours.  If it’s hot in humid here today, it’s bound to be humid up there.  I’d be dieing in my leathers right now.
