I know it is hard to believe but I am an experimental type of guy. This means I occasionally, while cursing out my household chores, think is there an easier better way to do this. So, I try something. Most of them are failures but nonetheless important information to learn as you can now skip that particular household experiment. So not all a loss in hearing about and you get to know me a little bit better and who wouldn’t want that.

So my experiment this week was trying to fill my water bottle with one hand and wiping the counter tops with my other one. I can report to you that it was a complete fiasco. It is difficult to both hold a bottle, especially one with a small entry way, under the tap and vigorously wiping the dirt off of counter tops. It is like trying to tap your head and pat your stomach at the same time. Every time you check to see how the counters look, you unconsciously move the bottle away from the tap even with 40 to 60 percent focus I was giving it. Any time you would have gained by the dual approach you lose when you go over the missed spots on the counter top and wiping the water off the bottle. So you can mark this one off of your to do list.

I know that some of you are asking why wipe off the bottle before putting it in the refrigerator, nobody will ever notice. Well, not at my house. A certain someone will discover my crime and want answers. I just don’t have a good enough reply for why I didn’t wipe the water off the bottle before putting into the refrigerator. I mean how weak of an argument is I was too lazy to do it and I thought I could get away with it without anyone noticing. Take my word for it — it is really awkward position.
