I am NOT loving this water bottle
The last couple days it seemed that I was always running out of water. I finally realized why my new water bottle seems smaller than the others.
There’s one thing you need to know. I have a manly box on the hubby’s night stand that he puts his pocket change into when he’s changing. And Megan discovered it. [Megan, who we've nicknamed the destroyer of worlds. Literally.] And since I can’t pick them up fast enough, I have given up let her play with them. And one thing about coins- they feel cold under the feet, an awfully lot like water.
So last night I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed; I hear something fall. I run to my room. My pretty cat is looking very guilty. My new water bottle is toppled onto my books. I dash in, pick it up. Run back to the bathroom. Grab towel. Cat cowers away. [smart kitty] Sop up the water. And I feel “coins” under my feet.
The case of the “small” water bottle is solved. And I need to clean my bedroom carpet. As interesting as this is, I still have 3/4 of a water bottle to clean up off my night table. BUT, I can only find a small amount of it. Somewhat surprising. But it was time to go to bed. I’ll think about that tomorra.
THE RADIO STARTS BLARING. Wha?!?! It is set to OFF. Not auto. Not on. Not snooze. Not sleep. OFF.
In an effort to kill fix it, I smash it on the night table a few times.
I find the missing water. Has anyone ever heard of an alarm clock holding water? By this time I’m laughing out loud. And wet.
I fell asleep in anticipation of writing today’s post!
Wishing you a happy weekend,
Cathy

You’ll never believe this, but I had a similar incident a few weeks ago where I spilt water all over my nightstand. Yep… my radio alarm clock holds water, too! I’d have never guessed it was possible.
Thanks for visiting my blog earlier this week. I’m so glad you did. You have a lovely blog that I intend to come back and visit again soon.
Have a blessed weekend!

Hello =) I am a fairly new reader to your blog, which I love by the way! I just had to comment on your question “Can an alarm hold water?” I would like to say that YES………yes it can! I too keep water by my bedside, and can’t begin to count how many times it has been knocked over. Not by the cat, by me! Anyway, the last time it happened, it spilled on my alarm clock, and the alarm clock never worked properly again =( Had to buy a new one!

Aimee & Melanie - that is too funny! We need a support group.
Aimee - I was kinda hoping that I would get to buy a new one too. I’ve had my silly alarm clock since college. So I think I get to go shopping today! yippeee.
thank you so much for your comments - I love to get to meet my readers!
