The randomness of my life.
Alright, I'm a soaker. Nothing makes me more content like soaking in my bathtub. Give me a book to read, some music, blistering hot water, and I'm perfectly content. I think its because growing up in a house full of girls, the tub was the only way to be by yourself. That or sticking my nose in a book, although that still didn't get me out of my chores like I thought it would.

So last night I'm soaking in the tub. My ipod is downstairs in my car. I got this new gadget that transmits my ipod through my stereo. It's lovely. But it means I keep it in my car. And I didn't turn my stereo on because it was super late. Around 1am I think. Didn't want to wake the neighbors. Oh, how naive I am.
I've just turned off the water and am preceding to read a book about Mary Boleyn called The Other Boleyn Girl. Anne Boleyn's sister. As in Anne, Henry the 8th's wife. Anyways I'm only a few pages into my reading and I hear this noise. How do I describe it? You know when you've loaded the washer or dryer too much and it makes this thumping noise? Like the clothes are caught and its shaking the machine. I hear that. And I'm like, ha ha, I do laundry late at night too. I'm feeling like I have something in common with my next door neighbors who I rarely ever see. How adult we all are, doing laundry late at night. La dee dah. Then I hear a guy moaning and realize that it sure as heck ain't no washing machine. And that my bathroom wall is not as soundproof as I'd prefer to be. EWWWW!! So I immediately turn purple. What do I do? Get out of the tub? Heck no! I love my tub time. So I start splashing around in the water wishing I didn't have such great hearing, when I hear her AND him now. Agh, I'm so uncomfortable, so I just start flushing the toilet. Its right next to my tub so at every point when the noise was about to die down from it flushing, I'd snag that latch again. Luckily, or unluckily, depending on whom you ask, it didn't last long.
So dear friends, ALWAYS PLAY MUSIC IN THE TUB.

So that's why there are so many washers and dryers on sale for President's Day.
nathan, you are just too funny.
i have a cat that loves to sing in the shower - maybe you can borrow him - or better yet, tape him - that way you can crank up the stereo and see who cries, um, sings the loudest.
thanks, allison, for the laugh - i really needed a good belly laugh tonight.
