This picture pretty well sums up my night, well, minus the rose petals, floating candles, long stem rose, wine bottle and nicely tiled walls. It was church night and I was set to go with the family at the front door… on time. My dear hubby knew I have had a bit of busy-ness going on and I’m not sure if it’s stress related, but I got pink eye again. Only in one eye. So as we’re standing by the front door tonight, he says, “Why don’t you just stay home.” I had second thoughts and third thoughts. My desire is to be a good example to the kids, but just maybe it was Rick’s turn to be a good example of a loving husband to the kids tonight.
So I DUSTED all the candles surrounding my tub (thanks, Jill, for letting me know that you have to dust them), found a jack knife and dug out the bits of wax left in the candelabras. Picked new lavender candles and dripped the wax in to secure them. That task always reminds me of the movie Amazing Grace… William did that one romantic evening. Then I found an enchanting little British movie on Netflix and calmly watched it amongst my glowing candles.
Like I said, AAAAAAHHHHHHH! The movie was about an old woman who moved into a hotel in London and befriended a young writer, after tripping on the pavement outside his flat. It was charming. Made me want to find an old person and just listen.
O.K., back to reality. Rick just asked what all the fuzz is in his bathroom sink. “I dusted the candles,” the lame housekeeping wife responded. :o)

Bummer on the pink eye. I hope you heal soon. Happy to know you did have a quiet and relaxing moment to yourself. You deserve that. :)

Well, well, well……… sitting at home in the bathtub watching a movie. Hmmmm…. well we missed you in church. People just roam around aimlessly when Linda Crosby isn’t there.
I would have to not only dust off my candles, but I would also have to dust out my tub.
How in the world did you watch a whole movie from your tub?? At the most – a nice toasty hot tub of water only lasts about 45 minutes. Did you sit there and shiver for the remaining 45 minutes?? Inquiring minds want to know.
