32 oz. of Mess

We are having absolutely glorious weather today - sunny, low humidity, and mid 70's. It was kind of brisk outside this morning when Hubby and I took our morning walk. This afternoon he thought we should go for a drive. Since the words "ice cream" were included in that sentence, it didn't take long for me to agree. We were enjoying a nice drive around town when disaster struck. Evidently the top hadn't been put securely on our 32 oz. soda, and it ended up all over when Hubby tried to pick it up for a drink.

I had a handful of napkins, so I shoved them down in the cup holder. We always carry old towels in the vehicle, so I grabbed one of them and started wiping up everything I could. We detoured a few blocks to the city park, pulled over, and continued our clean up job. Thank goodness the ice was in large chunks instead of the tiny almost crushed ice used at some fast-food places. We were able to scoop it up and get rid of it fairly easily.

We tossed the trash, then dampened the towel and continued clean up. Most of the soda ended up in the cup holders and other crevices on the console. Hubby did get fairly well christened as well. We decided we'd probably had enough of a drive, came home, and he changed clothes. It was a mess, but at least it had only cost $1!

So far, that's been about all the excitement we've had for today. And it's probably enough. Yesterday we had a day-long trip to the north part of Kansas City for a periodontal appointment. We also enjoyed lunch at Red Lobster and then shopped at Walmart in Liberty. From the sounds of things, we'll be making that trip again. Unfortunately.

Hubby and I have both commented about the noises we hear today. We've had our windows open since fairly early this morning. We've been cloistered in the apartment with the windows closed and the a/c on since May. Hearing the outside noises today seems very strange. We'll likely have to close the windows and turn the air back on when we get closer to evening. I can already feel my head trying to clog up with allergies. Since breathing is more important that fresh air, I'll take that option.

We should be settled now for a quiet week. And that's all good......I can't handle too much excitement at once!
