JEWELRY See? No importance at all but....I have an extraordinary amount of jewelry. A tiny bit of it is important and pricey but mostly its just junk that I happen to like. I spent one whole trip we went on, hunting for earrings in every port. I have had "chain by the inch" necklaces made to fit my big old neck. Then I spent many a time hunting up pendants to go with them. And then...I spend an awful lot of wasted time looking for them in the house. I lose them, misplace them, put them in about five different places, break them in the bottom of purses etc.....
The other day we went to Costco and lo and behold there was a beautiful mahogany jewel box. And..it was only 59 dollars...unheard of! So I snatched one up and bought it and brought it home. I set it up and gathered up all the jewelry I have found in my cleaning out endeavours over the last couple of weeks. I started to organize, prioritize and put them in the case. I could only get about one third of it all in there!! Back to Costco and bought another one. Into that I put the secondary jewelry. And I still have some left over that will go into other containers I have used in the past. But....the thing is I very rarely wear jewelry. Even if I can find it, I don't take the time to put jewelry on. I almost never wear it all yet I keep adding to the pile. I went to a jewelry party the other day and bought even more! Stupid!
SHOWER CURTAINS: This is not something you skinny people know about. When you are large, wet and blinded by shampoo and water...the shower curtain is not your friend.
The first thing that happens is a wet shower curtain slaps itself, actually suctions itself to your wet ass as you turn around. It then follows you as you complete your turn. Not being able to open your eyes you can only act upon feel. So you swipe the damn thing off your self, and inevitably push it out too far thus pulling the ends of the curtain into the tub to stick to other parts of yourself. Now no matter which way you turn it is pulling into the tub and tightly wrapping itself around you. As you try to free yourself you suddenly hear a loud clank and you feel cold air. Obviously the damn thing has now fallen right off and water is spraying all over your bathroom. By the time you get yourself sorted out the bathroom is soaked, the curtain is a tangle mess on the floor and you have shampoo covering your hair and running down your body. So bleeping annoying!
LAUNDRY: I keep forgetting to put the load in the dryer. Last week I put a load of whites into the washer. Then forgot it til the next day. When I noticed, I put in soap and ran it again. And forgot it. The next day I noticed and put in soap and ran it again. Then forgot it. I think that load got washed about six times before I remembered to put it in the dryer. I do this ALL THE TIME! I think its hard on the clothes.
BILL'S SNEEZING: I know this is not his fault. I get that. But just because its not his fault doesn't make it hunky dory that it should become a problem of mine too. Lets do a little math: average of 25 sneezes per day (and that is a very very low estimate) 25x7=175. 175x52=9,100. 9,100x26=236,000. . Yup!! About a quarter of a million times I have had to listen to him sneeze and sneeze and sneeze, and also blow his nose, over and over and over. My original sympathy ran out a long long long long time ago. I don't know how he has any brains left.
I love that jewelery box! Beautiful! I hear you about the sneezing, but for me its breathing in through the side of the mouth over the teeth. Argh!
