Ode to the Curtain

The other day James and I watched our little nieces and nephews while their parents (Amy and Justin) spent the morning at the cannery. As I went to take a shower I noticed no shower curtain in the guest bathroom. Being the silly girl that I am, I pressed forward with my curtainless shower. Have you ever taken a shower without a shower curtain? It’s one peculiar encounter! Aside from the flurry of water that builds outside the shower, the entire experience was almost jarring. All the other appliances are judging you- just staring at those extra pounds, and there is no retreat. In that past, I have always felt that my shower curtain demonstrated a sort-of curtain-patient confidentiality. Not so true with the other gadgets in the room. All my life I have been completely unaware of the requisite curtain. This post goes out to shower curtains everywhere. Huzzah! Huzzah indeed.

You, my dear, crack me up. How can you even take a shower without a curtain? You'd get water everywhere wouldn't you? I'm glad you gave a shout out to it though. How would we shower lovers ever survive? Oh, and this is the beloved Brandi btw.

So true, so true...now that you have uncovered the bathroom appliance conspiracy I think it's time we moved on to the mastermind behind all household unit plots to bring our bodily flaws to light: the mighty fridge!!! (bum-bum-bum!!!) If we can infiltrate his underground network then maybe we can bring down this bunch of these body-hating bullies once and for all!! I suggest we bribe the toaster with homemade whole wheat bread to act as our insider :)
