I had enjoyed a little drizzle of honey on my toast for breakfast the other day. A treat I don’t often have. After clearing away the dirty dishes and wiping down the table with a soapy cloth, I dried my hands and proceeded to carry on with whatever was next on my list for the day. Placing my forearm on the back of the chair, I leaned forward and reached for a piece of paper. When I stood up, my arm felt sticky. What the heck? The back of the chair was sticky as well. Where did that come from? You can wipe, and wash, look at every surface from every angle to make sure it’s gone, and as soon as you rinse out the dishcloth, hang it up to dry, you will touch something else sticky! Where is it coming from?!
What is it with honey? You are ever so careful not to drip any of it on anything except toast, in your oatmeal, perhaps in a cup of tea. You throw your arms in the air like you’re Rocky, claiming victory, yet it still manages to make its way everywhere! You will have honey on the table, the counter top, your fingers, the edge of the sink, and down the outside of the honey jar. Kim said, “Didn’t you know? Honey is the glitter of the food world!”
We all know that if a friend is wearing glitter makeup, by the end of the evening, everyone is wearing glitter makeup. It’s on your clothes, in your hair, even on your shoes! I sent a glitter covered Christmas card out one year. It looked so festive! My good friend texted, “Your card came yesterday. What were you thinking?! Glitter?! Your card is now on display throughout the house!” Guess she should be thanking me that I didn’t send a jar of honey!
I already have a honey supplier, and I guess if you continue to send glitter cards, I can deal with it. I mean, at least you’re writing! 🙂
