Today, I planned to go to a friend's house for lunch, a movie, and some catching up. So, I started getting ready. These pink and purple highlights that are in my hair are really cool, but, they require some special treatment to keep them from fading. I have to wash my hair with a conditioning cleanser - NOT shampoo, and I have to wash it in water as cold as I can stand. I also need to wash my hair in the kitchen sink because the color will stain the bathtub as it begins to come out - it is only a semi-permanent dye. Soooo... I was standing in front of the sink, setting the water to the requisite 33 degrees (didn't want it to freeze in the faucet), when I turned to say something to the dog. Yes, I do talk to my dog, and, yes, he does understand me. Anyway, I wasn't looking, and I accidentally grabbed the sink sprayer by the handle and shot myself in my upper lady area with a blast of liquid ice. (If you laughed at that, beware the kitchen witch; she'll get you, too!) Did I tell you about learning my limits at the tanning salon? No? Well, I learned a day or so ago that my limit is fifteen minutes. Twenty minutes turns some of my lady bits to the color of flaming lava, and, strangely, a "fake" sunburn feels exactly like a "real" sunburn. But back to the story at hand... The icy water colliding with the desert heat of the sunburn created a burst of steam that turned into a cloud around my head. Having the wind knocked out of me from the cold and being temporarily blinded by steam, I took a step backwards and stepped on the tip of the cat's tail. Mr. Feline Dramaticus took off yowling like a red-butted baboon with a case of hemorrhoids and knocked me off balance. Whereupon, I fell into the oven, which happened to be turned on and hot because, like the good friend I am, I was baking a chocolate soufflé to take to my friend's house. When I hit the oven, the soufflé fell and was ruined.
Dang it! I knew I was going to go too far. It was the sunburn you didn't believe, wasn't it? Well, the entire story was true, except for the soufflé. Who am I, Martha Stewart? I mean, I can cook, but I would not attempt to carry a soufflé in the car. Sure, that's why I didn't make one. I'm not completely uncivilized, though. I wouldn't show up at someone's house empty-handed. I stopped at Sheetz and got a frozen latte for her. I also didn't fall, but I did step on the cat's tail, and anyone who knows Colby knows that he tends to overreact. What? You don't believe that I can tell what my cat is thinking either? I have watched Cesar Millan, ya know? Jeesh, it's not that hard to be a dog, or cat, whisperer. I looked up everything he does on Youtube, and it has to be true because it's on the internet. Oh yeah, I'm also dating a French model.
But, dating is a story for another entry...
If I step on Scoobys(dog) fur you would think I stepped on him. I talk to my animals and they understand me. What's so strange about that? Yes, I laughed but think I'm safe from the kitchen witch as I don't have a sprayer.
ReplyDeleteBetty, don't you love how animals can be as overly dramatic as teenagers? It cracks me up every time. If only I didn't end up getting hurt whenever they act up...
