Television, Big Bathtubs, And Wine

We're on a real vacation from our troubles, here! I've hardly thought about the flood, at least not in a sad way. We did laugh about Ashton's new bowling ball washed away in the flood. (She's on the bowling team at school, and received one as a gift.) Did it sink or did it float? There were no holes drilled in it, yet. After all, the fridge was floating, as was the coffee table and one of the sofas. It's a real science question. What do you think?

We have so much space that we aren't using all of it. We're used to being in smaller quarters. My bathtub here is bigger than my walk-in closet at our house! That's another thing I've been wondering this week; should I get a cot in my bedroom, and use the rest of the space for a giant bathtub when we re-build that room????? Or maybe we could build some kind of bathtub that converts to a bed for sleeping. The pool under the gym floor in "It's A Wonderful Life" springs to mind. I wonder if Mark can do that? Here's a true confession: if I leave the bathroom doors open, I can watch television from the tub in my room here. Now, that truly is my fantasy come to life. Who wouldn't be relaxed watching silly television shows, drinking a glass of wine, and soaking in a hot bath? I also read in there, for those of you judging my television watching! If you are judging my wine consumption, I'll quote one of my favorite Miranda Lambert songs. "I heard Jesus, He drank wine, and I'll bet we'd get along just fine. If He could calm a storm and heal the blind, I bet He'd understand a heart like mine."

I'm in a place where I go to sleep when I want, wake up when I want, eat when I get hungry, and never know what time it is, nor do I care. I can walk down the stairs and I'm at the pool. I can walk across the street and I'm on the beach. Why would I want to leave? (I'm not big about the beach, though. I hate getting sand all over everything. I just like to look at it and walk on it.) Maybe the police will have to drag me out of here kicking and screaming. I know, I know, I'm not a rule breaker, but I just might snap! We'll have to see.......for now, I'm off to take a bath and enjoy a glass of wine!
