Sweaty She Monday (04/12/10): Yoga Mat in the Shower (MGW#2)*

*Part of the Multi-tasking gone Wrong Series
We are busy women so any opportunity to do two things at once only seems to make perfect sense. The other day I was in a yoga class and when I was standing on my mat, I noticed bits of sand embedded into the squishy blue surface. Time to wash the mat. We live in a condo and really don't have a convenient way to wash things outside via garden hose and I was not liking the idea of trying to wash the yoga mat in the kitchen sink. Hmmmm....what to do?
I got home and as I was getting ready to hop in the shower my brilliant multi-tasking plan came. I would wash the yoga mat IN the shower WHILE taking a shower! So I grabbed the mat, hopped in the tub, and pulled the glass door shut behind me. I had to wrestle the mat into position in front of me but once I did, I could wash a small part of the mat, then scoot backwards, and then wash a little more. My process was working well: scoot back, wash, scoot back, wash, scoot back ....WHAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH! Holy crap! I bolted upright! While in the throes of scrubbing the mat I forgot to pay attention to my derriere's proximity to the tub faucet. Let's just say that I backed up a little too far and, well, I got "fauceted"!
My husband came flying into the bathroom to see if I was OK. There "we" were - me and my yoga mat taking a shower. He asked me what I was doing and while I was explaining my grand idea, he just shook his head and walked out.
Mission accomplished. My yoga mat is now clean. And I also know exactly how long my bathtub is!
