The lesson of the day

Don't do something stupid just to try to save yourself a few minutes.

I was carrying bottles of fruit and juice up from downstairs, and tried to carry one-too-many at a time. I knew it would be trouble, but I tempted fate. So, of course, on the way up the stairs one of the jars slips and falls, and of course, it's the incredibly deep dark grape juice. It shattered and splattered everywhere, and it took me the next full hour and a half to clean it all up. I think I would've rather take the extra 60 seconds to make another trip up the stairs with the extra jar instead. As I once heard John say, "That's what I get for being stupid." Luckily, it broke on the tile landing by our front door, so most of it was on hard surfaces (all over the walls within a 10 foot radius,) but you'd be surprised how much of a stain grape juice can make even on tile, walls and doors. Amazing. Amazing that it all came out too. Maybe next time I'll be a little smarter. You'd hope so anyway.
