Yet again my blog post refuses to show up! Okay, I guess I have to post it in a comment AGAIN!
Okay, I have no idea what the deal is with having to use exfoliating facials every day. You would think by now I would have learned my lesson after having my eyes nearly burn right out of my head, but no, I continue this ritual day in and day out. Despite my eyes being red, having to feel blindly around the shower for a wash cloth, and knocking everything over in the process, I still feel the need to continue on.
I am either a glutton for punishment or a masochist; I have not decided which yet.
In other news, the Universe is conspiring against me! I think I have become the target of the pranks of the entire Galaxy!
Let me elaborate.
The Universe decided today that it would be a wonderful idea to give me a free ballet lesson, taught by a headphone. Seriously! Hear me out here….*waits for you to stop laughing*
I was sitting at my computer, minding my own business, and then I get up to go get some coffee from the kitchen. This is when my free lesson came in.
My headphone cord wrapped around my ankle without me noticing, that is until I go to take a few steps. The next thing I know, I am on one foot, the other leg hanging in midair, my arms are flying all over the place and then, I fell. My body folds over my coffee table and I fall to the floor; the headphone is still wrapped around my leg. I think I was graceful until that defining moment when I fall over an inanimate object to make an ungraceful sound of a THUD as I make contact with the floor. I think I can safely say that my ballet lesson was failed!
Forget that I nearly killed myself while doing that, but now I cannot hear my music! I have no speakers!
See! What did I tell you? I am the butt of a joke of the Universe! Wow, I sure hope fate does not try to give me another free ballet lesson!

lol I am glad it made you laugh. I know I did after it happened lol. That is a good idea! I need to try that, and my desk is indeed wood. I will need to buy a new pair of headphones first though lol.
Okay I will have to repost the blog in comment again to get it up top for others to read...if only my blog technical issues would straighten out then I will not have to do this lol.

I realise this is definately "after the fact", but, having experienced a similar ballet lesson, I found a nice inexpensive solution to the speaker wires. If you aren't able to have them in the back space away from your legs (in the back of the computer desk) I found that pipe cleaners, formed in loose circles, with a little twist at the top, leaving about an inch, work really well with pushpins. Feed the speaker wires through the loop in the pipe cleaner, then attach the twist top to the neck of a push pin and push the pins into the underside of the surface if it is wood or the pre-assembled wood facsimilies. You can space the loops about 3-4 inches apart. This allows for a free flowing guide for those pesky wires that seem to just hang around waiting for you to catch them with your leg, foot, hand, etc. If you don't have a wood like surface, perhaps someone else has an "ask Heloise" remedy?
Perhaps other members have suggestions?
I promise, I didn't laugh until I read the whole thing !!
