Mr & Mrs Peters

At work, we get freebies (like shirts and wine) donated by our vendors fairly frequently. Tonight, I was lucky enough to come home with a nice bottle of Cab that I was VERY much looking forward to enjoying.

And then this happened.

Seriously? It is in these moments that I just want to walk out the door and leave the mess for someone else to take care of. The wine got EVERYWHERE. The wall, under the washer/dryer, nothing was spared.

So, after I fished out the glass shards from Radar’s mouth (he started licking up the mess before I could even react) and changed my pants and shoes, I set out to the garage to get a pack of paper towels. OUT. Of course we are out of paper towels in my moment of need!

Hey, at least red wine doesn’t stain, right?!?

After several rounds of sweeping, mopping, bleaching, drying, sweeping, mopping, etc… I got the mess all cleaned up. I think. We will see how many tiny shards of glass I step on in the coming days.

The one upside of this incident is that I don’t think my laundry room floor has been this clean in a year.
