Things a Bubble Bath WON'T Fix

ORIGINALLY POSTED: February 9, 2011

Nate and I started working out. That sentence should awe you so much that I could end my post right now. But, since I have NEVER been accused of being short-winded I'll continue. Basically,    My.    Body.    Hurts.
I am so sore it's ridiculous. And of course I'm obnoxious enough to whine and groan after every movement that makes me feel 90 years old. This, I'm ashamed to say, does not exclude the long process of trying to sit down on the toilet.

In order to ease my ailing muscles I had the brilliant idea of taking a bubble bath. It was exquisite. I could feel the soreness melting away. While I was sitting there, forgetting absolutely everything about reality, I thought to myself, "There is NOTHING a nice, long bubble bath can't fix."

But then, I got to thinking some more and that's not true. While a bubble bath can cure several ailments, there are some very specific things in my life that my bubble bath just cannot fix.

* My insane craving for Slim Jims.

* My desire to be a darker shade than our ceramic, white kitchen sink.

* My husband's propensity to 'dutch oven' me. P.S. Horrible Experience.

* My current housing situation; a basement where the window frosts on the inside and the pipe which we affectionately call the 'pee pipe' (for fear of what it might contain) runs right over our bed and often drips at night.

And lastly, the bath cannot cure the situation of having to get out of the tub. Heres to getting in shape.

So, let me know. What did I miss? What can a bubble bath not fix for you?
