I’ve been pondering/looking for new bath towels for 2 years now. I know…that’s
wwaaayyyyy too long for any normal person. But our old ones were still really nice and fluffy. They (blue and tan) just didn’t match the pink-brown-white bathroom color scheme. And this is a problem in my world. However, those blue and tan towels have recently started to rip. In the exact same spot. So strange. Oddly enough the hubby’s gym towels have started to rip in the exact same spot.
Hummmm…I guess the hubby in the buff is
too buff and created a rip with
his ripped self (excessive flattery and clever wordplay will allow me to get away with pinning this one on him)!
Non-matching towels I can deal with. Ripped towels is where I draw the line. So I was off to invest in new towels. And…yes…invest is how I describe my towel purchases. They must be big. They must be fluffy. They must be thick. Which all translates to…they’re gonna be pricey.
So off to shop I went...determined not to return home until I had bought new towels. 2 years is too long and rips cannot be tolerated! Several stores and several hours later I returned home with new towels and some coordinating fabric.
Can
anyone explain to me how going out to buy a few new towels turns into making roman shades and painting the mattes in the bathroom artwork? No wonder I have a project list a mile long!!
People always ask where I come up with my ideas. I dunno. Really one minute I'm trying to decide on a towel color and the next thing I know I'm buying a yard of fabric. Apparently inspiration lurks in the towel aisle.
And what makes no sense at all...I bought brown and green towels. Yep...my bathroom is mainly covered in pink tile. So can I explain the green? Nope. Not one bit. Except that I was stalked and kidnapped by an idea in the towel aisle. Which is how I ended up making roman shades with the coordinating fabric and painting the mattes green.
Sheesh! So much work. I need a nap just thinking about it! Maybe I should just learn to love ripped, unmatching towels...yep...that's
never gonna happen!
And on the subject of new towels, I stumbled across
this post from
thebloggess.com. It is quite possibly one of the funniest things I have ever read. So consider yourselves warned. I will not be held responsible should someone pee their pants laughing or shoot hot coffee outta their nose.
