My JAM

I haven't taken a bath in ages because I'm more of a shower kind of gal. 

Parce que...

1. Baths are fun for about 15 minutes, then I usually get bored so I grab a book or a magazine. Then, I get frustrated because I have to dry my hands off thoroughly every time I need to turn the page. Then, I put down the book or magazine because I'm frustrated and I get bored. Do you see the pattern developing here?

2. I always feel the need to take shower after a bath because I'm not a fan of soaking in my own filth. So, I usually skip baths and just take showers. Who's got time for soaking?

3. There's always that point of pruniness where I start to think... this can't be good for me. 

4. The water is never the perfect temperature for more than five minutes. I always err on the side of water-so-hot-I-think-I-might-pass-out and that isn't a great feeling.

But, once every 10-ish years, I've got to bust out the Mr. Bubble and get a good soak in.

And I did it like a champion.

I took a giant piece of MDF board I had laying around (as you all should have one laying around) and laid it across the tub (bathtub tabletop aka greatest idea ever) and pulled up a movie and a bowl of SweetFrog I had picked up on the way home from work.

Then, I put in far too much bath bubbly (I actually used some fancy schmancy Crabtree & Evelyn lavender scented stuff - I didn't have any Mr. Bubbs on hand. Sadface.) which was due to my lack of bath drawing experience.

But it was fine, after the bubbles calmed down a bit and the water stopped burning, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit...

... enough to stay in for all 115 minutes of Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I'm thinking I can get through a fair number of movies on my Netflix queue this way if there is enough time and SweetFrog to be had.

BATHS ARE THE BEST!
