The Two Temperatures

I like to shower. It is one of my favorite past times and I look forward to showers morning and night - I like to shower. Not today - My shower sucked for the following reasons:

1. There were two temperatures in my shower today - Scalding Hot and Freezing Cold. Now, I like a hot shower but this was burn and melt your skin off hot. When you are trying to stand out of the way of the water so that you don't die but you just have to make it cooler or you won't survive. And then it was so cold that I couldn't stand it! And no matter how I tried there was no happy inbetweeen... it sucked.

2. The water was so hot that it was super freakin' steamy. Now you might think, " I like steam - I hang my clothes in the bathroom so the steam will take out the wrinkles", with a stupid grin on your face. It was so steamy that I felt like I couldn't breathe. I had to shower with the bathroom door open to get some air circulation and luckily I was the only one home :)

3. I had to shower with the door open. What if someone had come home? I was having an anxiety attack the whole time.

4. When I stepped out of the shower it was freezing! Really the temperature of the bathroom was about -2 degrees. And the worst part?

5. I forgot my towel. They are usually hanging on the hook in the bathroom, but I grabbed them to wash them and didn't rehang them. Kill me - it was a cold dash through the livingroom to my bedroom...

6. Where my blinds were open :)

My shower this morning sucked.

Lying

Confession time:

There are very few things that I'm really good at in this life. Pretty adequate at quite a few things but nothing too sensational. But I can say that I am one hell of a liar. I'm dead serious - I can lie with the best of them. It's true that I don't have a criminal mind (proven by the apparent anxiety attack that I suffered during the great Phone Book Caper of 2007). I do have a hard time with the fantastical lies for the gulliable but only because they believe the impossible and I just can't keep a straight face :)

It's the little lies that I slip in or lies that I say to protect myself or others - those ones are so easy. So easy - often they are out of my mouth before I even realize it. Those small things that people won't really question because it's not worth the time, not important, just don't care or more often than not - it is what they want to hear anyway.

Lies of omission are my favorite! I absolutely love to give people just enough information to placate them, keep them interested, enough to get them to leave me alone, just enough to keep my secrets (or the secrets of others) safe. I love secrets. I love to have secrets. I love other people's secrets. I love my own secrets. I love to keep secrets.

Now, there are some faithful readers who are thinking, "Wait, she's told me some of her secrets." That may be true. If I have - you only know a part of it. There isn't another person on earth that knows what I know. In the immortal words of celebrity TV diaries: You think you know but you have no idea.

So... let the guessing begin. I was recently very intrigued by the guesses of a friend. I would like to know what others think too! Good Luck.
