So I don't know if you know what a monster smoothie (or green smoothie) is. I drink them multiple times a week because they're good for you -- blah blah blah. This morning I make myself a tropical green smoothie, complete with orange, banana, coconut, mango & spinach. Freshly poured, my cold cup is sitting on the counter and as I go to put
the lid on the cup, I hit a salad bowl that was tilted up on the counter
drying and it falls over hitting the cup of green smoothie. It tips
over -- towards me, of course -- and it splashes/spills ALL OVER ME. So
now I'm standing there looking at my shoes and the green goo all over
the kitchen thinking, "Oh my goodness, Shrek just shit all over me!"
Of course, this entire thing happened within 5 minutes of me needing to
leave the house. So, what do I do first -- strip naked in the kitchen? wipe down
the counter? mop the floor? No... I just stand there, staring for a
few minutes wondering WTH do I do.! So I strip down to my undergarments
and grab a large towel. I start from the bottom up, wiping the floor,
the cupboard doors & then the countertop. I finished off with
wiping down the fridge, the dishwasher & cleaning my shoes. Tossing
my green-puke blouse & sweater in OxyClean, I trod upstairs to pick
out a new outfit. At this point I've already missed the bus and am
wondering if it's even necessary for me to go to work & perhaps I
should just climb back into bed. But realizing that I am a
highly-valued employee, I grab some quick-change clothes, put them on
& out the door I go, 30 minutes later than usual. I drive to work,
praying the entire way that the start to my morning is an isolated
incident and that I can arrive at work on time, unscathed by any further
harm. Alas, I did... only to spend 10 minutes in court and the rest of
the day in my office! So, again, I ask... Can't I just climb back into
bed?
Hope you're having a happy day!
