In my fridge...

Okay, Chip, here you go...

My fridge is really sad. So are my cupboards, as a matter of fact, but here is an exciting list of what is usually in my fridge:

• Organic Hormone Free 1% milk (while I like to support local farmers, I think milk tastes better in cardboard than glass, so I no longer buy Shatto milk)
• Lite Silk Soy milk
• Campo Lindo free range brown eggs
• Misc. cheeses (right now I have two Irish cheeses, Jarlsberg and some organic cheddar)
• Whole Wheat English Muffins
• Whole Wheat Bread
• Butter
• Misc. Jams, but always Polaner All Fruit Apricot and some sort of raspberry. Right now I think I have raspberry pecan
• Fruit and veggies for Spike and Buffy. I always have organic carrots and celery for them (how special those rabbits are!), and I usually have apples too, but I sometimes eat the apples
• I think there are some condiments in there also, but I don't use them regularly

I hope that was exciting for everyone. If any of my fellow bloggers want to make a list of your fridge contents, please do!

Hot Tub Rash

I could suggest you stop reading now, but you already know this post is about a rash, and if you are like me, your curiosity will not allow you to stop reading...

The weekend before last I went to a wedding. After the wedding, soaking in the hot tub seemed like a good idea. Well, it wasn't. There were many signs that soaking in this particular hot tub might not be a good idea. The first was that the water felt more like a bath than a hot tub. The second was that the jets wouldn't start. The third was the murky water. The fourth were the floaters. Finally, after we all dodged a few too many 'hairs,' we thought getting out might be a wise move.

Sadly, it wasn't soon enough. Two days later I discovered I contracted hot tub rash from this lovely hot tub experience. I suppose I should have known I could pick up some sort of nasty from this clearly unclean hot tub water considering the favorite words of bacteria are warm and moist, but I never thought an upscale hotel would have such a grungy hot tub.

Since discovering the rash, I have been regaling party goers with stories of my experience. I know most people might frown on discussing rashes in public, but c'mon, it's a funny story! Along with entertaining many, I have also learned of other gross things you can pick up in poorly cared for hot tubs. Most shocking? Gangrene. Now that is a gross story.

I am now counting my blessings that I just got a rash and not gangrene. I know you are all wondering: I'm all better now, thank goodness.

FYI I don't look like an elf

And even if I do, that is not a good way to hit on me. I'm just saying...
