Cooking can be hazerdous to my health

I didn't mention the shower incident in my Pastaciotti post the other day because well... it's embarrassing. I mention it now not because I have a need to publicly humiliate myself but because it's actually funny-at least to me.

In my hurry to get the pie finished before I was late for work, I decided to take my shower while the pie was in the oven. The pie was supposed to cook for 20 minutes-I was going to try to get my shower done in that time-HA! I have a mass of unruly curls the length of which reaches midway down my back. It takes a lot longer than 20 minutes to un-tangle my hair, but in the name of pie! I was going to try! (hey, she's a poet too.)

I must have angered the Gods of pie-making because everything I did to expedite my shower seemed to be tainted with a bad case of the drops. We have a porcelain shelf that's built into the wall of our shower....(yes folks, you guessed it) I dropped the soap for what seemed like the 15th time in 3 minutes and smacked my head on the shelf. I remember thinking "oh boy that's not good" and sho' nuff I have had a bump on my head for the past 2 days. I wasn't worried at first but then today I slept 12 hours....

I'm fine.

(I think).
