Reading in the Bath.

Kate Moss in the bath reading - I love this image.

When living with my parents - one of my favorite things to do was read in the bath.

I always felt so mature. 

I'd place my radio on the toilet. 

I'd never fill the tub up too much

 I would have to add hot water and bubbles throughout my private excursion  

Make sure my bath had lots of bubbles - I didn't want to see my body.

Put on just enough light to read - I wanted to get it as dim as possible! 

Fill one of my parent's wine glasses with 7-Up...diet 7-Up specifically

I couldn't wait until wine could go into the cup

I'd usually put a mask on my face - it was a green Avon mask 

Wrapping my hair was always the fun part - 

A shower cap and a towel in order to assure my hair was still in good shape.  

I'd then try to get into the bath WITHOUT getting my hands wet. 

I'd have a towel close by - because I never succeeded in my "no-hands-wet" mission.

 After tucked into the water and bubbles - I would read. 

I still have water prints on so many of my childhood books. 

Once out of the bath - I'd throw on my seasonal robe (my parents are robe-a-holics)

Climb in to bed and read some more - until I feel asleep

Or until Kenny, Renny, my mom, or dad interrupted my relaxation lol. 

Or it was one of our family television/movie nights

Or one of my friends called the HOUSE phone

Either way, I wonder what ever happened to reading in the bath.
