Sometimes another writer is my muse and sometimes I am my own muse. I do my best concocting of ideas in the shower. For some reason I have my best ideas while shampooing. However, I am pathetic at getting dressed and ready (the lotion, face products, make-up, hair drying, clothes picking out, etc.) quickly, and tend to take at least an hour and by then I've forgotten all my key ideas. Maybe I need a notepad in the bathroom!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866280295791546341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387304430116981620.post-60350191320993418732012-05-29T10:38:08.216-04:002012-05-29T10:38:08.216-04:00Number 10 made me laugh out loud and then I realiz...Number 10 made me laugh out loud and then I realized why people stare at me in public!<br />Very funny post.<br />HeatherHeather M.
