Yes, I am that glamorous

Tonight I decided to treat myself to a bubble bath. It's one of the very few, self-indulging treats I refuse to give up due to life's crazy schedules. I definitely don't get to do this as often as I'd like as I'm usually doing good to grab a quick shower before heading to bed. But I do try to throw in at least one bubble bath every couple weeks for 'saving my sanity' purposes.


After tossing out a random pacifier that Kate had managed to sling in there who knows when, I fill up my bathtub with warm bubbly water.

As I'm soaking I begin thinking about the day's events, all the while sipping on a glass of....Diet Coke. Yep, sometimes I get thirsty while I soak. And yes, Diet Coke hits the spot. Told you I was glam.


Before getting out I realize I should probably give the legs a quick shave, so I hop out to grab the razor that is in the shower and nearly bust my butt. Fortunately I caught myself on the shower door, which after having my face pressed against it, I realize it should really be cleaned sometime soon...or did we install a frosted glass door?! I proceed to tip toe very carefully back to the bubble-filled bathtub with nothing other than my disposable pink Daisy razor (I cannot use any other kind, not even the expensive ones) and hop back into the warm water. I begin shaving and because I do everything fast, and a little bit spastic, I manage to knick, or I should say nearly amputate, my leg at the knee.


And to think, all I really wanted to do was shave the part of my legs that would be showing in the outfit I planned on wearing to work tomorrow.


Does it get any classier?

I LOVE the new looky! Oh my gosh, when I first started shaving I cut myself so bad and I was soo afraid that I wouldn't be able to stop the bleeding and I was going to lose too much blood, haaa! I hate when that happens though, totally ruins an outfit! I'm sure it's fine though, right? :)

Ouch - don't amputate those legs!! Be careful! I love bubble baths as well. I think I'll have myself one this evening...sounds so nice right now. Of course, I'll have to clean the tub first, but it's worth it. :)

The new look is fabulous and very glam! Loved your bath story. Sounds like something that would happen to me. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who only shaves the part of my leg that will actually show. :-)

Wow your new blog looks great!

I am right there with you on the only shaving the part of your leg that shows thing. I haven't shaved my legs yet this week because I've worn pants every day. I did shave my pits this morning, though, because that was getting a little gross :)

Candice said...

Your new blog is so cute...love it!
I'm totally with you on the bubble bath and dc. I just might have to make that happen tonight.
By the way, I love the name Kate. I think it is so classy and sweet.

HEY!! You changed your outfit! I love it, your blog looks awesome!

This is the kind of crap that happens to me daily!

Brandi said...

Love the new look of your blog!

Sounds like me and one of my bath experiences. Although mine are usually shower related. I can't take a bath. Let's just say my body reacts negatively to a bath and bath water. All I will say. :)

Unknown said...

Fancy new blog look girl!!!

And the little knicks are the WORST arent they??! I love a good bath, but I prefer red wine...that makes the day worth it!

Candice said...

Hey! I tagged you today! I hope you haven't already gotten this one

I'm sorry to say that you just described me to a tee while trying to have a nice moment of self indulgence. They say the nut doesnt fall far from the tree! SORRY, it doesnt get any better, you just become more tolerant, love u, momofmoddy
