    Wink Bottom drops out of water bottle

    So, there I was reaching for my handy dandy spritzer bottle and low and behold I miss it, the goofy thing just barely bounces off the shelf and the next thing I know I'm cleaning up water from my shelf of books..... Who knew to check the age of a plastic water bottle? I may have drowned a couple of dust bunnies in the process and the books are all spread strategically to allow the bottom corners to dry off. That blew away the quilting I was going to start for a charity quilt. Guess I'll try and look on the positive side: the shelf is clean now and I'm having a cup of coffee and a ginger cookie and pouring out my woes to a great group of fellow quilters.

    Just this afternoon I was wondering why my foot felt wet while I was ironing. Finally found the hole in the side of the water bottle. Well, I am cheap and needed to iron so I poured out some of the water and, if I keep the bottle level, I can still spray. Guess I need another bottle.
