The Whole Nine Yards

Did you ever have one of those WTF days? On most days, I can get by with 1-2 WTF moments, but on occasion I have a day that is dominated by those little ironic idiosyncrasies that just make you want to laugh....or poke your index finger in your eye.
I got out of the shower, reached for my towel and went to wrap it around me. I had two corners reaching for one another under my right armpit, and my left hand went to close the corners on my thigh. I pulled on one, and the other one jumped back six inches. (hmmmm...) Then I yanked on the other corner, and the other one jumped eight inches behind me. (ack!) I find myself walking in circles in the bathroom literally chasing my tail and cursing the towel manufacturers for skimping on the terrycloth. WHEN did they start making these things so small, for goodness' sake? Its like the bathtowel has become a hand towel, and if we don't pay attention the handtowel size will become washcloth size....and then we may as well just break down to the fig leaf and be done with it.
I think that the sock gnome that steals left socks from my dryer has taken up a hobby of shrinking my towels.....
or.....
more accurately, I am realizing that I have to continue to persevere with becoming a healthier person. Or we may just need the whole nine yards of fabric to make a towel that will sufficiently cover my backside.
