Hi ladies! It's been a long time since I've posted anything, so I decided to give you all a chuckle with my latest adventures.

So.... How can a simple job like recaulking the bathtub leave you feeling like you've just gone 10 rounds with Evander Holyfield? Well, sit right back and you'll hear a tale. A tale of a fateful trip, that started in this tiny room aboard this fateful ship.....

I started scraping off all the old caulking - why? Because we had an awful leak that was running through the wall and down the edge of the tub and rotting the wall. Our last caulking job failed badly and it appears the caulking never sealed properly, so off with the old and on with the new - simple, right? WRONG.

I've got most of the old caulking removed now and decide to sit back and take a wee break. BAD MOVE! My foot slips on a bit of water in the bottom of the tub, my big wide fanny somehow misses the edge of the tub and out I go - backwards (and at full speed)!

Thank God my back was towards the wall and not the toilet. Whump goes my tookis on the floor. Whump I bounce my tookis off the floor again and my backside hits the floor vent. Thought I had lots of padding to save me - wrong. Also, Kablam - my head hits the wall and rebounds for a second shot! My eyes are spinning, my ears are ringing - but wait! There's more...

I was holding a metal putty knife in my hand when I went over and slammed onto that on one of my bounces. When I realize I am on the floor I carefully look down thinking I'm going to see blood everywhere - somehow I never cut myself! (I guess that's a blessing). All I've got is a wicked bruise on the fatty part of my palm - whew.

Hubby (trying to hold back his laughter I'm sure) carefully bends over me and asks, "Are you OK?" My response? "I'm not sure...just give me a sec."

I look around me and find I am straddling the toilet, There are stars everywhere and my ears are still ringing. No blood anywhere or holes in the wall from my head - "I'm OK".

Today, not so much - every muscle in my body aches, my butt cheeks hurt to sit, I think I have a slight case of whiplash and my ribs are sore, but I'm still on this side of the daisies!

Oh yeah - had to buy a new shower curtain today - ripped the old one off in my haste to get out of the tub...
