2001-07-02 & 8:21 p.m. : the difference seven bucks can make

i just had another death-sleep nap in the blazing heat.

i woke up sweaty and feeling gross.

so i took a bath cold enough that the transition from hot to cold was so great that my nipples froze up and shot off my body, much like an exploding glass that goes straight from an industrial dishwasher to a cold sink.

thankfully, my nipples were caught by the very pretty navy blue shower curtain liner that i got at target when we first moved into the house.

which is a lesson to us all: when given the choice between the $2.99 shower curtain liner and the $9.99 shower curtain liner, spring for the $9.99 shower curtain liner.

you could save thousands in reconstructive cosmetic surgery costs.
